Board approves three‑year extension with Pfeffer, Hanniford & Palka for township audits
Summary
Finance Director Susan Dryden said the proposed three‑year audit contract with Pfeffer, Hanniford & Palka carries a fee increase consistent with market rates; trustees approved the extension for FY27–FY29 by roll call 6–0.
Finance Director Susan Dryden told the Board that the Township’s current contract with Pfeffer, Hanniford & Palka, CPAs (PHP) ends with FY2026 and staff recommended a three‑year extension covering FY27–FY29. Dryden said the proposed fee increase aligns with market rates and that an RFP would likely produce similar pricing from other firms.
Treasurer Horning moved to approve the audit contract extension with Pfeffer, Hanniford & Palka for fiscal years 2027–2029; Trustee O'Connell seconded. The roll call vote recorded all six present trustees as voting yea; Supervisor Fountain was absent. The contract extension was approved by the Board.
Dryden’s presentation noted the contract is a common municipal practice and staff recommended continuity to avoid transition costs during a period of significant utility and capital planning.
