New Port Richey CRA staff recommends Malden & Jenkins for FY24 audit; $5,500 budgeted
Summary
Staff asked the Community Redevelopment Agency board to authorize execution of engagement letters with Malden & Jenkins to perform the external financial audit for the CRA for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024, and said $5,500 is budgeted for the work.
At a New Port Richey Community Redevelopment Agency meeting, a staff member asked the board to authorize execution of audit engagement letters with Malden & Jenkins for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024.
The staff member told the board that Miss Dunn would represent Malden & Jenkins and asked the CRA to authorize the engagement. "The request before you this evening is for the CRA board to authorize execution of the Community Redevelopment Agency audit engagement letters for fiscal year 24 with Malden Jenkins," the staff member said.
A presenting staff member summarized the procurement history: in December 2021 the city council approved a resolution establishing an auditor selection committee; on Feb. 15, 2022, the council awarded RFP 2022-001 for independent audit services to Malden & Jenkins for three audit years. The presenter said the firm is listed on the state master services agreement (Department of Management Services contract 84111600-20-1) and that the city council on April 1 authorized management to piggyback on that state contract for the 2024 audit engagement letters.
Staff recommended the CRA board authorize execution of the Malden & Jenkins engagement letters for audit services related to the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024. The presentation said funds have been budgeted in the redevelopment fund for FY24-25 in the amount of $5,500 for costs related to the CRA audit.
Chairman Davis asked for public comment; none was offered. The chair then moved to approve the request to extend the contract "as provided," and the motion was seconded. The provided transcript ends during the seconding; a final roll-call and vote on the audit authorization were not recorded in the supplied transcript.
What happens next: The board will need to record a formal vote on the authorization (not present in the transcript). If the board approves authorization, staff will be directed to execute engagement letters with Malden & Jenkins to perform the FY24 audit for the CRA.
