Chairman Scurlock advised that all three firms made <br />excellent presentations, and while Arthur Young (formerly May <br />Zima, Inc.) has done a fine job for us over the years, Coopers 8 <br />Lybrand offer more than just auditing services, i.e. rate <br />analyses, coordination with the IBM -38, in data processing. The <br />Committee would like to investigate the scope of services that <br />would benefit this county. The ranking was done on auditing, but <br />all of the firms covered other services in their presentations. <br />Comnissioner Eggert wished to see what the other services <br />would be and the hourly rates before giving approval to any <br />additional services, and Chairman Scurlock advised that any <br />additional services other than auditing would be brought back to <br />the Board for approval. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, that the Board authorize the <br />negotiation of a contract for auditing services, <br />starting with Coopers 8 Lybrand. <br />Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, recommended that the Audit <br />Selection Committee make sure that the people who made the <br />presentations are the same people who will be servicing the <br />account and not just the big wigs that a firm sends out to sell <br />the contract. He also cautioned the County to keep the various <br />services disassociated because he has not seen an auditing firm <br />yet that has not tried to first get in the door with the auditing <br />services and then sell all their other services. <br />Chairman Bird assumed that the rest of the Commissioners had <br />received a copy of a letter from Keith Morgan of Peat Marwick & <br />Co, asking why they had not reached the short list. <br />Chairman Scurlock said that he personally called and <br />explained that their firm was way over bid. In fact, out of the <br />8 resumes received, he felt the firm probably would have been <br />listed as #8. <br />JUL W. 9 % 65 ROOK `rAIj (�ly <br />
