Consideration of Contracting with Tautges, Redpath and Co. , <br /> 24 Ltd. to Conduct a Single Audit at a Cost Not to Exceed $2 ,500 <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Don Brager, Finance Director, stated that the Single Audit Act <br /> 27 of 1984 requires a single compliance audit to be conducted <br /> 28 whenever more than $25, 000 of federal assistance has been <br /> 29 received by a governmental unit. The purpose of this audit is <br /> 30 to ensure compliance with the grant agreements and applicable <br /> 31 laws and regulations. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 The City of Mounds View did, in fact, receive more than <br /> 34 $25, 000 in federal grants during 1994, making the single audit <br /> 35 necessary. Since the amount of grants to be awarded to the <br /> 36 City was not known at the time the budget was prepared, this <br /> 37 item was not budgeted for. It is now proposed that the City <br /> 38 contract with Tautges, Redpath& Co. , Ltd. to conduct a single <br /> 39 audit for a cost not to exceed $2,500 and that the funds be <br /> 40 transferred from the Contingency Account to cover the cost. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Councilmember Trude asked if Tautges, Redpath & Co. , Ltd. was <br /> 43 the most economical company to use to conduct this audit. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Mr. Brager stated that, because Tautges, Redpath & Co. was <br /> 46 also contracted to do the City audit, they were more <br /> 47 economical than a different audit company would be. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Councilmember Hankner suggested that funds for the audit be <br /> 50 budgeted for next year. <br />
