The Perry City Council approved a professional services agreement with Jana Walker, CPA, to provide auditing services for the city and its subordinate entities for fiscal year 26–27. The motion to approve passed by roll call with all members voting yes.
Council and staff said the engagement fulfills the city’s annual audit requirement, which must be initiated within 90 days of the start of the fiscal year. A staff member explained the timing to council as part of routine procurement and audit scheduling, saying, “We have to do an annual engagement. You know, for the audit, it needs to be at least called within 90 days at the start of the fiscal year,” and noted the city was starting the process earlier than required.
During discussion staff characterized the firm as one the city has used for multiple recent years; participants exchanged informal recollections about how long the firm has served the city but did not provide a definitive year count on the record. The council made and seconded the motion and approved the agreement by unanimous roll-call vote.
Next steps include finalizing the engagement letter with Jana Walker, CPA, and proceeding with the audit workplan for FY 26–27 as scheduled. The item will also be reflected in official contract records maintained by the city clerk.
