Appointment of Auditor for Fiscal Year 1992-93:
Mayor Kulbes said the meeting was called to appoint the auditor for FY 1992-93. The
results of the grading of the proposals are as follows: Coopers & Lybrand, 261;
Greene, Dycus & Co., P.A. 235; Harris & Sanders 211; Kuhn, Raker & Seland, P.A. 208;
and Cline & Bailes, PA 203.
Motion was made by Commissioner Kaehler for the appointment of Coopers & Lybrand as
Auditors for 1993-1994. Seconded by Commissioner Langellotti. Discussion. Vote on
the motion: Commissioner Kaehler, aye; Commissioner Torcaso, aye; Commissioner Jonas,
aye; Commissioner Langellotti, aye; Commissioner Donnelly, aye; motion carried.
Harry Martin, Finance Director explained that he and the City Manager negotiated
with Scott Packert, Christine Hill and Suzanne Fradette of Coopers & Lybrand. This
current year the cost of the audit was almost $39,000. It was finally agreed that the
fee would not exceed $36,000 based on 600 hours. If it takes less than 600 hours, it
would cost less because they will only bill based on the time. Plus expenses have been
reduced to $1,500 maximum. Mr. Martin asked if they could lock that in for more than
one year and they said only with a CPI increase, a maximum cap of 7% each year for the
next three years.
Mr. Scott Packert explained they really hope to cut their hours. He said their hourly
rate will go up a very marginal amount, but with Mr. Martin's assistance in getting
some of the audit schedules prepared more timely, it will make the audit a lot quicker.
He said he is willing to agree to a cap based upon 600 hours,$60 an hour.
Motion was made by Commissioner Kaehler that we negotiate with Coopers & Lybrand for
a three year contract for $36,000 cap but with a built in CPI, not to exceed 7% on
their hourly rate. Seconded by Commissioner Torcaso. Discussion. Vote on the motion:
Commissioner Torcaso, aye; Commissioner Jonas, aye; Commissioner Langellotti, aye;
Commissioner Donnelly, aye; Commissioner Kaehler, aye; motion carried.
Meeting was adjourned 7:15 p. m.
Respectfully submitted,
