Summary

Staff recommended retaining audit firm Whitley for the FY 2025–26 audit, estimating base fees and a possible $2,500 addition if a separate grants audit is needed; staff aims to complete the audit by Sept. 31 to avoid lateness.

Finance staff asked the council to authorize an engagement letter with the firm's current auditor, Whitley, for the fiscal year 2025–26 audit and to approve estimated fees. The staff projection included a baseline fee schedule and an additional $2,500 contingency if a separate audit of grants is required.

Staff said, "The plan is to have it done by, September 31 so that it is not late," and requested authority to sign the letter of intent for the audit engagement. Council members asked no substantive questions during the item. Staff will return with a formal engagement letter and fee schedule for the city's records and execution.
