Lazy Lake solicits accounting firms; respondents cite restricted system access and historical accounting issues
Summary
Council contacted four accounting professionals; three responded with proposals (estimated $250–$300/month) but raised concerns about restricted system access requirements and unresolved historical accounting issues preventing acceptance.
Councilmember Dana Merrill reported outreach to four accounting professionals to identify a new accounting firm for the Village. Three firms responded and provided similar proposals estimating between $250 and $300 per month — about $100 more than the previous accounting firm — but each firm identified concerns that prevented them from accepting the engagement at this time.
Responding firms listed two major issues: the need for restricted access to financial accounts (access limited to the accounting firm, the Village Attorney and the Village Clerk) and unresolved historical accounting issues that would need to be addressed before they could accept the engagement. No firm engagement was approved at the meeting.
