Accounting firms cite access and historical issues; proposals at $250–$300 per month
Summary
Three accounting firms provided proposals of about $250–$300 per month but raised concerns about limited system access and unresolved historical accounting issues; firms require restricted access to financial systems (firm, Village Attorney, Village Clerk only).
Councilmember Dana Merrill reported outreach to four accounting professionals; three firms responded with proposals in the $250–$300 per month range (about $100 more than the previous firm) but did not accept engagements at this time due to concerns. The firms cited limited access to financial accounts and unresolved historical accounting issues as primary obstacles to engagement.
Minutes record the firms’ requirements: accounting system access would be limited to the accounting firm, the Village Attorney and the Village Clerk; firms would not accept engagements where multiple individuals had access to the accounting system. Council did not record a final selection; the search and reconciliation of access issues will continue.
