SUBJECT:
Authorize Additional Compensation in the Amount of $260,213.00 to Deloitte and Touche, LLP, as
Final Payment for Completion of the Fiscal Year 2006 Single Audit and Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize an additional $260,213.00 for independent auditing services to Deloitte and Touche, LLP, for
the Fiscal Year 2006 Single Audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, establishing the Fiscal
Year 2006 final audit fee at $1,463,713.00; and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations by $260,213.00 in
the General Fund and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance by the same
amount.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize additional funding for services
rendered by the external auditor Deloitte and Touche, LLP, for completion of the Fiscal Year 2006
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Single Audit.
On June 5, 2007, the City Council authorized the execution of an engagement letter with Deloitte and
Touche, LLP, for the Fiscal Year 2006 Audit (M&C G-15746). The estimated fee for the Fiscal Year 2006
audit was $785,000.00. Overlapping issues from the Fiscal Year 2004 and Fiscal Year 2005 audits resulted
in fee increases authorized by M&Cs G-15996 and G-16137 and increased the authorized audit fee to
$1,203,500.00 for the Fiscal Year 2006 audit.
Several issues caused unanticipated work which required additional testing and increased audit hours. The
additional authorization of $260,213.00 will result in the final actual cost for the Fiscal Year 2006 CAFR and
Single Audit at $1,463,713.00.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the General Fund. Upon approval, the unaudited fund balance available for discretionary
spending (excluding Reserves for Advances) of the General Fund will be $10,694,823.30 below the
minimum reserved fund balance of $51,044,414.00. Financial Management Policy Statements states that
the City shall strive to maintain the General Fund undesignated fund balance at an amount equaling 10
percent of the current-year adopted budget expenditures less the annual transfer from the General Fund to
