Board selects Silva Shireeni & Associates as auditor for FY2026; $75,400 not‑to‑exceed contract approved
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved a contract naming Silva Shireeni & Associates LLC as the independent auditor for fiscal year 2026, approving a not‑to‑exceed amount of $75,400 after staff described the proposal as a modest increase and competitive value compared with regional peers.
The Carson City School District Board of Trustees approved the designation of Silva Shireeni & Associates LLC as the district’s independent auditor for fiscal year 2026 and authorized a contract not to exceed $75,400.
Mr. Winward presented the recommendation and corrected a transposition error in the executive summary, clarifying that $75,400 is the correct figure. He described the firm as experienced with school districts and said the proposed contract amount represented roughly a 3 percent increase over the prior year — "still a fair amount" and competitive with comparable districts. Trustees asked whether the district had sought other audit firms and how the amount compared to peer districts; Winward said the district had informally surveyed options and found the proposed fee to be reasonable given local expertise and the roster of compliance responsibilities.
Trustee Clappen moved the motion to approve the firm and Trustee Peterson seconded. With no public comment the motion passed unanimously.
