Hansen <br />1982 <br />$7,900 <br />1983 <br />$0,700 <br />1984 <br />$9,600 <br />Average <br />Price $8,733 <br />Anfinson, Hendrickson <br />1982 <br />$8,000 <br />1983 <br />$8,500 <br />1984 <br />$9,000 <br />Average <br />Price $8,500 <br />Wilkerson, Guthmann, & Johnson <br />1982 $8,500 <br />1983 $9,500 <br />1984 $10,500 <br />Average Price $9,500 <br />In submitting three year proposals each firm listed conditions <br />' under which future years' prices would be subject to renegotiation. <br />These include a significant change in City operations which would <br />expand the scope of the audit or a turnover in key finance department <br />personnel or any other subsequent event which would lessen the <br />present degree of involvement of the finance department in the year <br />end closing process and preparation of work papers. <br />I would recommend that the Council give serious consideration <br />to engaging the DeLaHunt, Vote firm to conduct audits for 1982, 1983, <br />and 1984. I feel that they would be able to provide the best service <br />at reasonable prices. The DeLallunt, Voto firm is the only firm, of <br />the four we received proposals from, which audits many other Ramsey <br />County cities. As such they have a familiarity with County personnel <br />and property records which the other firms do not. This enables them <br />to more efficiently obtain and interpret County data. This firm also <br />audits other RCCM cities which have the same or similar accounting <br />systems that we have. <br />I believe that the DeLallunt, veto firm conducts a more thorough <br />review of the City's financial policies and practices than other <br />firms. This was, I believe, evidenced by the management letter and <br />recommendations we received last year. <br />If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact• me. <br />DA/ds <br />
