She felt that when children are involved with <br />taking pride in their community, they will be more likely to <br />carry that pride wherever they ga. This is an opportunity for <br />children to do something positive for the City. <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />F. Consideration of Contracting with Tautaes, Redpath and Co., <br />Ltd. to Conduct a Single Audit at a Cost Not to Exceed $2,500 <br />Don Brager, Finance Director, stated that the Single Audit Act <br />of 1984 requires a single compliance audit to be conducted <br />whenever more than $25,000 of federal assistance has been <br />received by a governmental unit. The purpose of this audit is <br />to ensure compliance with the grant agreements and applicable <br />laws and regulations. <br />The City of Mounds View did, in fact, receive more than <br />$25,000 in federal grants during 1994, making the single audit <br />necessary. Since the amount of grants to be awarded to the <br />City was not known at the time the budget was prepared, this <br />item was not budgeted for. It is now proposed that the City <br />contract with Tautges, Redpath & Co., Ltd. to conduct a single <br />audit for a cost not to exceed $2,500 and that the funds be <br />transferred from the Contingency Account to cover the cost. <br />Councilmember Trude asked if Tautges, Redpath & Co., Ltd. was <br />the most economical company to use to conduct this audit. <br />Mr. Brager stated that, because Tautges, Redpath & Co. was <br />also contracted to do the City audit, they were more <br />economical than a different audit company would be. <br />Councilmember Hankner suggested that funds for the audit be <br />budgeted for next year. <br />
