Trustees appoint acting chair for July 1 meeting and approve audit engagement
Summary
At the July 1 Midlothian Board of Trustees meeting, trustees appointed Trustee Killy as chair for the evening and unanimously approved an engagement letter with accounting firm Casper to handle financial obligations and audit work related to a staff retirement.
Trustees at the Village of Midlothian’s July 1 meeting appointed Trustee Killy to serve as chairperson for the evening and unanimously approved an engagement letter with the accounting firm Casper to assist with financial obligations and upcoming audit work related to a staff retirement.
Trustee Johnson asked the board to approve the engagement letter, saying the firm would help “with financial obligations related to paying bills and the audit things like that with retirement of Mag Britain.” He moved to approve the engagement; another trustee seconded the motion and the board approved it by roll call.
The meeting minutes show a roll-call approval for both the appointment of an acting chair and the engagement letter; the transcript records affirmative responses during the roll calls and states the motions carried. The engagement letter was provided to trustees electronically before the meeting and the board voted to sign it so the firm could begin work within the next week.
No additional details about the engagement’s scope, contract amount, or start date beyond “in the next week” were provided during the meeting. The board did not record a discussion of alternatives or any opposition during the vote.
The board adjourned after completing its agenda. The clerk’s office will retain the signed engagement letter as part of the village record.
