Baird <br />Assistant County Admi <br />Jason E. Brown <br />Budget Manager <br />D escriptions And Conditions <br />1 <br />iisstrator� ' <br />k f t( <br />O n October 10, 2000, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Harris, Cotherman & <br />Associates for audit services for fiscal years 1999/2000 through 2003/2004. The State of Florida <br />Auditor General recently made two substantial changes to the audit requirements for local <br />governments effective beginning fiscal year 2000/2001. As a result of these changes, auditors must <br />perform a financial condition assessment of the entity being audited. The second requirement is the <br />new Florida Single Audit Act, which replaces the previous audit requirement for state grants and aids. <br />Each of these new requirements results in a significant amount of additional workload for the <br />completion of the audit. The contract may be amended to account for such changes resulting from <br />new legislation. Staff has negotiated an additional fee of $8,000 for these services each year for the <br />remainder of the contract (fiscal year 2000/2001 through 2003/2004). An amendment to the contract <br />is attached for consideration by the Board of Commissioners. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board of Commissioners approve the attached contract amendment for <br />additional services required by the State of Florida Auditor General. This amendment provides <br />additional compensation of $8,000 per year for the remainder of the contract. <br />Attachments <br />Letter from Harris, Cotherman & Assoc., <br />Dated August 26, 2002 <br />Contract Amendment <br />September 3, 2002 <br />34 <br />
