Council appoints Dana Merrill as treasurer, asks for written accounting proposal
Summary
After a presentation by local accountant James Reddit, the council asked for a formal contract proposal for bookkeeping and QuickBooks integration (estimated $150/month plus roughly $15/month for QuickBooks) and appointed Council Member Dana Merrill as Village Council Treasurer to coordinate next steps (motion passed 5-0).
James Reddit, identified in the minutes as representing a local accounting office in Wilton Manors, proposed monthly bookkeeping and financial reporting services, integration of bank transactions with QuickBooks Online, and optional payroll and 1099 processing at a cost of $150 per month plus a QuickBooks Online subscription fee of about $15 per month depending on users.
Council members said they wanted more transparent financial reporting and cited prior audit challenges; the council requested a formal written proposal or contract for review. Council Member Jeff Grenell moved to appoint Council Member Dana Merrill as Village Council Treasurer to review the proposal and coordinate next steps; the motion, seconded by Council Member Arnold Aliff, passed 5-0. The minutes record that the appointed treasurer will evaluate the proposal and report back to council, but no contract was executed at the meeting.
