Council selects Cahill Bauer & Associates for 2025 city audit amid rising audit costs
Summary
Facing a steep estimated price increase from the previous auditor, council voted to contract Cahill Bauer & Associates (estimate ~$22,000) to conduct the 2025 annual city audit and asked staff to gather references.
Council reviewed proposals for the city's 2025 annual audit after being notified that the prior auditor's estimated fee rose to about $60,000. Two firms — Cahill Bauer & Associates (estimate about $22,000, itemized) and Shane Fish & Company (not to exceed $45,000) — had offered to take on the work. After discussion about relative costs and capabilities, the council voted to approve Cahill Bauer & Associates to conduct the 2025 audit and requested references and follow up information from staff.
Council members emphasized fiscal responsibility given tighter budgets and noted the audit workload has grown because of recent projects. The motion passed by voice vote; staff will contact Cahill Bauer for references and report back to the council with any relevant follow up.
