City Council

7. APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH DAVIS FARR LLP FOR INDEPENDENT AUDIT SERVICES The City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional auditing services and received eight proposals. The Audit Commission appointed an Ad-Hoc Committee, consisting of Chair Lillyan Chandler and Commissioner John Wende, to evaluate proposals from the top ranked audit firms. On April 23, 2026, the Audit Commission received feedback from the Ad Hoc Committee. After deliberation, the Audit Commission recommended that the City Council approve a service agreement with Davis Farr LLP as the City’s independent auditor. Recommendation: Recommend the City Council: 1. Approve a professional service agreement with David Farr LLP as the independent certified public accounting firm to perform auditing services for three years beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with the option of providing the same services for two subsequent fiscal years. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute necessary contract documents and subsequent amendments with Davis Farr LLP subject to any non- substantive modifications as may be deemed necessary and/or recommended by the City Attorney. Fiscal Impact: The all-inclusive fee proposed by Davis Farr LLP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 is $54,240. The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 proposed budget includes sufficient funding to cover the scope of work associated with this agreement. Total maximum cost over a five-year contract term (initial three years plus two optional years if exercised) is $281,336 and will be incorporated in the annual proposed budget for Council's consideration.
