Council discusses RFP for financial consulting after incumbent declines audit work
Summary
Council learned the current financial consultant (Curtis) declined proposed contract changes and indicated he will not perform audits; staff recommended issuing an RFP that specifies audit and financial statement services for at least one year if the incumbent will not provide audits.
City staff explained that the existing professional services agreement for financial consulting no longer fits the city's needs after hiring a full-time finance director. Curtis, the current consultant, reportedly declined proposed contract modifications that would include audit work and instead prefers an hourly consulting arrangement. Staff recommended issuing a request for proposals (RFP) that specifies the need for audit and financial-statement preparation for at least one year if the incumbent will not perform audits.
Councilors sought clarification about the scope and whether the incumbent could resubmit under the RFP; staff said Curtis could compete but the city needs an agreement that covers audits. No vote was taken; staff will prepare an RFP outlining audit requirements and service expectations.
