Council seeks new auditor after prior firm withdraws; requests more proposals
Summary
Dune City's prior auditor declined further work and staff received one detailed proposal; council members asked staff to solicit additional quotes and recommended a small review team (administrator plus a budget committee member) to vet proposals for an audit to start in January.
Chair reported the city's prior auditor informed the city it would no longer provide services in the area; staff said they solicited audit firms and received one complete proposal with a higher-than-expected price. Council discussed timing (audit work to start in January) and options to gather additional quotes and form a small selection team.
Council members suggested naming the city administrator and a budget-committee member to review proposals and attempt to obtain multiple bids so the council can compare scope and cost. The Chair said this approach should provide better comparison; the council agreed to continue the item while staff seeks additional proposals and brings back comparisons before awarding an audit contract.
