Roxbury hires RHR Smith for 2026 audit with authority to negotiate payment terms
Summary
The selectmen voted 3-0 to approve audit services from RHR Smith & Company for the year ending 2026 but amended the motion to allow negotiation over an apparent 14-day quote validity and a requested 75% upfront payment.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen voted to approve audit services for the fiscal year ending in 2026 from RHR Smith & Company, but added an amendment authorizing staff to negotiate payment terms and to recheck the quote validity after board members discovered the proposal appeared valid for only 14 days and requested a 75% upfront payment.
Selectman Timothy Derouche moved to approve the audit services; Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded. During discussion the board noted the financing terms in the proposal and approved an amendment (also 3-0) to permit negotiation on payment schedule and confirmation of proposal dates before finalizing a contract.
The board did not record a finalized contract amount or a revised payment schedule at the meeting.
