DISCUSSION:
The Financial Management Services Department will use this agreement to assist in the completion of the
Fiscal Year 2007 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Contract accounting staff from Emma
S. Walker, PC, assisted with completion of the Fiscal Year 2004, Fiscal Year 2005, and Fiscal Year 2006
CAFRs. Additional assistance will be needed from Emma S. Walker, PC, to help complete the Fiscal Year
2007 CAFR.
In August of 2006, the Purchasing Manager awarded a contract to Emma S. Walker, PC., to assist with the
completion of the City's Fiscal Year 2005 CAFR for a cost of $20,000.00. On October 24, 2006, the City
Council approved M&C P-10474 authorizing the execution of a professional services agreement and an
increase in the scope of the original award to include the Fiscal Year 2006 CAFR at an increased amount of
$90,000.00. On November 27, 2007, via M&C G-15970, the City Council authorized an amendment to the
contract increasing the amount by $100,000.00. Staff is currently seeking a second amendment to the
contract to include assistance with the Fiscal Year 2007 CAFR for an increase of $30,000.00, for a total
cost of $240,000.00.
