JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019 SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BADAWI & ASSOCIATES CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR PROFESSIONAL AUDITING SERVICES SUMMARY: The City’s contract for professional auditing services has a term from June 6, 2017 to June 30, 2020 with two optional years to extend. Since the original Agreement date, the City has requested additional services for preparation of financials for the Public Safety CFD and the Azusa-RMC JPA. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Approve the first amendment to the professional services agreement with Badawi & Associates Certified Public Accountants for auditing services; and 2) Authorize an increase to Badawi & Associates Certified Public Accountants from $55,680 to $64,680 for fiscal year 2018/19 auditing services and from $111,360 to $119,360 for optional fiscal years 2019/20 and 2020/21. ANALYSIS: The City established a Community Facilities District (CFD) for Public Safety in June 2017 and started collecting revenues for the CFD in FY 2018/19. Additionally, the City is part of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, Azusa-RMC JPA, in which the City’s Chief Financial Officer acts as the Treasurer Auditor Controller for the JPA. State law requires separate financial statements be prepared for both the CFD and the JPA. APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 10/7/2019 First Amendment of Auditing Services Agreement October 7, 2019 Page 2 Badawi & Associates is the City’s financial auditor and has agreed to provide additional auditing services for the CFD and JPA. Therefore, Staff seeks to amend the original Auditing Services Agreement’s scope of services (Exhibit A); and to increase the total compensation (Exhibit B) under the Agreement by $9,000 for fiscal year 2018/19 and $8,000 for the two optional fiscal years 2019/20 and 2020/21. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund as these services will be accounted for under Fund 68 for the Public Safety CFD and Fund 50 for the Azusa-RMC JPA.
