LAUDERDALE COUNCIL <br />ACTION FO <br />Action Requested <br />Consent <br />Public Hearing <br />Discussion <br />Action <br />Resolution <br />Work Session <br />x <br />Meeting Date <br />August 22, 2017 <br />ITEM NUMBER Audit RFP <br />STAFF INITIAL <br />APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR <br />DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Earlier in the year, the Council asked staff to solicit proposals for auditing services. Staff <br />did that in July and received the following proposals. As some of them are quite lengthy, I <br />included the primary text in the packet and emailed you the full proposals if you would like <br />to review further. The outcome of the pricing was as follows. Abdo, Eick and Meyers is the <br />City's current auditing firm. <br />Smith Schafer and Associates <br />Clifton Larson Allen <br />MMKR <br />Abdo Eick and Meyers <br />Schlenner Wenner & Company <br />2017 <br />$20,925 <br />$19,800 <br />$19,200 <br />$18,500 <br />$16,000 <br />2018 <br />$21,575 <br />$20,150 <br />$19,585 <br />$18,800 <br />$16,750 <br />2019 <br />$22,250 <br />$20,500 <br />$19,975 <br />$19,200 <br />$17,500 <br />My understanding of the Council's intention in soliciting proposals was to consider factors <br />of cost and accountability. As the firm the City hires reviews staff s work, we don't want to <br />unduly influence the process. The intention of this meeting is to discuss the proposals and <br />provide staff guidance on how you would like to proceed. For example, if you would like to <br />conduct interviews or if you would like additional materials, we will coordinate that. <br />OPTIONS: <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />
