Subject

Resolution ECD 2019-01 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH CROSSLIN & ASSOCIATES, PLLC FOR THE ANNUAL AUDIT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2019, for adoption

Background

Please find attached the proposed annual audit contract with Crosslin & Associates, PLLC for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 for independent auditing services for the Brentwood Emergency Communications District (ECD). The proposed contract fee for the ECD audit is $8,700, which represents a $200 increase from the previous fiscal year but is consistent with the fifth-year fee as proposed in Crosslin's original five-year fee proposal.

The ECD fund is legally established under Tennessee law and is subject to a separate audit from the City's primary audit. Crosslin will be required to perform additional auditing services and issue a separate set of financial statements. Since the ECD operations are fully integrated into regular City operations, improved coordination and economies of scale are gained by using the same accounting firm for regular audit and ECD audit. Sufficient funds are included in the proposed FY 2020 ECD Budget to cover the cost of the audit. If approved by the Board of Commissioners, the Mayor will electronically sign the agreement with a copy going to the TN Comptroller's Office also.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the City Treasurer.
