$500 set up fee in first year only.
a fixed annual fee of forty cents ($0.42) per levied parcel, invoiced in December of the year of the submittal.
The fees for the first year of this Contract shall be fees as noted above. In the second (2nd) year and subsequent years of the contract fees shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) for all urban consumers as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations as measured from February of the year this contract was executed to the most recent February. Invoices will use the calculated per parcel fee amount, including the CCPI adjustment, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
6.2 Optional Services
Fees for Optional Services as outlined in Services in Section 3.0 above shall be billed at the following hourly rates:
Partner $250 per hour
Principal $225 per hour
Programmer $200 per hour
Associate $175 per hour
Senior Analyst $125 per hour

6.3 Indirect Expenses
Except as specified above, no other charges shall be made for direct or indirect expenses incurred by CONTRACTOR in performing the services the Services listed in Section 2.0 including for administrative overhead, salaries of CONTRACTOR’S employees, travel expenses or similar matters.
6.4 Due Date
All fees are due 30 days immediately following billing. All amounts that are not paid when due shall accrue interest from the due date at the rate of one percent per month (12% per annum).
7.0 TERM PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
7.1 Time of Essence
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. 6 01089/0001/61175.03
7.2 Schedule of Performance
CONTRACTOR shall commence the services pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt of a written notice to proceed and shall perform all services within Section 2.0 “Base Services” within time period(s) established in that section. When requested by the CONTRACTOR, extensions to the time period(s) specified may be approved in writing by the Contract Officer.
CONTRACTOR’ ability to perform the services described in Section 2.2 will depend on timely receipt of the County of Los Angeles Assessor’s lien date tax rolls, which CONTRACTOR purchases annually, with delivery typically expected in the last two weeks of July. In the unlikely event that the lien date tax rolls are unavailable prior to the submittal deadline specified in the County of Los Angeles Auditor-Controller’s office Annual Direct Levy Instructions Letter, CONTRACTOR will prepare a submittal file from the data supplied by the CITY as-is, and corrections would be submitted as needed. In such a scenario, we would expect the County Auditor-Controller’s office to waive fees for corrections submitted after the submittal deadline. But in the event that those fees are not waived, CITY is responsible for fees associated with those corrections.
7.3 Force Majeure
The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the CONTRACTOR, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the CITY, if the CONTRACTOR shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Contract Officer in writing of the causes of the delay. The Contract Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Contract Officer such delay is justified.
7.4 Term
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 11.6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for three (3) years, and, unless a notice of termination is given on the fourth anniversary date, shall be automatically extended from year to year until and such notice shall be given.

Insurance or bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the CITY due to unique circumstances.

CONTRACTOR'S Proprietary Information is not generally known by the entities with which CONTRACTOR competes.
CONTRACTOR desires to protect its Proprietary Information. Accordingly, CITY agrees that neither it nor any of its employees, agents, independent contractors or other persons or organizations over which it has control, will at any time during or after the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly use any of CONTRACTOR'S Proprietary Information for any purpose not associated with CONTRACTOR'S activities. Further, CITY agrees that it nor any of its employees, agents, independent contractors or other persons or organizations over which it has control, will disseminate or disclose any of CONTRACTOR'S Proprietary Information to any person or organization not connected with CONTRACTOR, without the express written consent of CONTRACTOR. The CITY also agrees that consistent with its obligations under the California Public Records Act and related disclosure laws, it will undertake all necessary and appropriate steps to maintain the proprietary nature of CONTRACTOR'S Proprietary Information.
Any use of the Proprietary Information or any other reports, records, documents or other materials prepared by CONTRACTOR hereunder for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the CONTRACTOR will be at the CITY’s sole risk and without liability to CONTRACTOR, and the CITY shall indemnify the CONTRACTOR for all damages resulting therefrom.

Gov’t Code §§ 6250 et seq. (collectively, the “PRA”). The Parties intend that if CITY is served with a request for disclosure under the PRA, or any similar statute, the CITY in good faith will make the determination as to whether the material is disclosable or exempt under the statute, and shall resist the disclosure of Proprietary Information which is exempt from disclosure to the extent allowable under the law. CITY shall advise CONTRACTOR in writing five (5) days prior to the intended disclosure of any decision to disclose Proprietary Information, and the reasons therefore, and if CONTRACTOR then timely advises CITY in writing that it objects to the disclosure, CITY shall not disclose the information. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall then be solely liable for defending the non-disclosure and shall indemnify and hold CITY harmless for such nondisclosure.

In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured party shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim therefor.

Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party’s right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit CITY’s or the CONTRACTOR’S right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 11.6.
11.3 Waiver
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a nondefaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
11.4 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
11.5 Legal Action
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

Upon issuance of any notice of termination, CONTRACTOR shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. The CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 11.2.

Founded in 1992, HdL Coren & Cone (HdLCC) developed the firs t computer software in California for tracking county, city and special district property tax revenues. The HdLCC was the first in the State to go beyond using parcel data for allocation audits by developing specialized reports and models to assist government agencies by using the data for parcel administration, focused economic development strategies and revenue projections. The staff consists of 14 highly qualified analysts, auditors and information systems technology professionals.
HdLCC currently provides ongoing services to over 260 California agencies. Th e Company maintains annual property tax records for Los Angeles County back to 1992. HdLCC’s experienced team has worked with a number of key county staff and is thoroughly familiar with county property tax procedures in California.
Specific advantages that HdLCC has for performance of the services being sought by the City of Compton Water Department include:
• HdLCC maintains property tax data for 44 California counties, including all agencies within those counties. The large and numerous data sets involved in special district assessment analysis and administration require the use of the latest data storage, modeling, and analysis te chniques. HdLCC leverages their staff of Information Technology professionals, with expertise in database design and data analysis, to continually improve our technological capabilities. This allows us to perform analyses that go beyond what can be accomplished by District staff, who we find are typically maintaining assessments using spreadsheet, text, or even physical list/ledger documents. • All HdLCC staff works from our centrally lo cated headquarters in Brea, California. The decision to operate out of a single location allows the Company to minimize overhead costs and thereby lower service fees, maximize coordination of client services, protect the Company’s substantial data bases and allows for immediat e response to requests for information or assistance.
We look forward to reviewing this proposal with you in greater detail an d demonstrating how our services and software products can benefit the City of Compton.
Sincerely,
Paula Cone, President

FOUNDED
1992
Property taxes in California have evolved into an extremely complex system that requires experience and expertise to fully monitor. There are two broad categories of property (real and personal), three tax rolls (secured, unsec ured and state assessed), and numerous peculiarities such as possessory interest an d the distribution of ta x revenue from private aircraft. The revenues generated by the prope rty tax system need to be distributed to a myriad of taxing entities incl uding cities, counties, schools, special districts and successor agencies. The company's extensive property tax information systems allow us to perform tax audits and provide information and analysis from a city's property tax data to city staff quickly and accurately.
The firm’s staff have performed thousands of secured and unsecured property tax audits for client agencies over the past twenty-five years and recovered millions of dollars in misallocated property tax revenue. Our management team and staff pride themselves on being highly responsive to client needs and cordial in our contacts with county staff.
This philosophy has served our clients and the company well. This is evident by the fact that 65% of our property tax audit and information services clients have been using our services for more than 10 years and 55% of our clients have been under contract for more than 15 years.
HdLCC is a Corporate Partner of the Le ague of California Cities and Califor nia State Association of Counties and works extensively with the State Association of County Au ditors, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) anticipation and planning of programs to stre ngthen local government revenues, and monitoring of legislative actions which impact local governments.

SCOPE OF SERVICES V
A. Direct Assessment Administration and Information Services Using HdLCC's custom software, a data set of all parcels in the assessment area will be established. This data is prepared from the Los Angeles County Assessor Lien Date Ro lls that is purchased annually in July. HdLCC updates the original County roll with any transfers in ownership, which have occurred between th e lien date and the current month and updates the ownership information (name and mailing address), date of transfer, sale price, and document (deed) number monthly.

RE: PROPOSAL FOR DIRECT ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATION AND INFORMATION SERVICES
Dear Mr. Meza,
It appears that information supplied to City accounting/purchasing staff with the attached proposal resulted in the perception that the cost for this project would be based off an approximate assessment count of 5,000 parcels. This was the assessment count provided to HdL Coren & Cone by Lupe Gomez, who was our initial contact at the time that the proposal was created.
We have since been informed by City staff that the actual assessment count is approximately 17,000.
Both the proposal and our proposed contract language indicate that the cost for placing the assessment on the tax rolls will be $0.42 per assessed parcel. With an estimated count of 17,000, our fee estimate is calculated at $7,640 (including the one‐time project set up fee of $500). The actual invoiced fee amount will vary from this estimate to the extent that the number of parcels assessed increases or decreases from the 17,000 assessment estimate.
We are providing this updated information for the purpose of clarifying the estimated cost of the project, to allow the City to issue an appropriately modified purchase order for the project.
Please let us know if any additional clarification on this subject is required.
Best Regards,
Joel Hermann

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO A MULTI-YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR EADIE AND
PAYNE, LLP TO AUDIT THE CITY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($236,140)
SUMMARY
Adoption of the resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement between the City of Compton and Eadie and Payne LLP for audit services with two one-year renewal options, and establish a purchase order in the amount of Two-Hundred Thirty-Six-Thousand One-Hundred-Forty Dollars ($236,140.00).
BACKGROUND
Section 1419 of the City Charter of the City of Compton provides for the employment of a qualified accountant at the beginning of each Fiscal Year, who at such time or times as may be specified by the City Council shall examine the books, records, inventories and reports of all officers and employees who receive, handle or disburse public funds and of such other officers, employees and departments as the City Council may direct.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Municipal Code § 4-11.7(d) Exceptions to Competitive Bidding Requirements states
“Except as otherwise provided in Section 1409 of the City Charter, state or federal law, the competitive bidding requirements of this section shall not apply in the following circumstances:
(d) any contract for professional services; such as, but not limited to, attorneys, physicians, architects, engineers, consultants, accountants, specialized printers or other individual organizations possessing a high degree of professional, unique, specialized or technical skill or expertise.
Selection of professional services providers shall be on the basis of

June 27, 2023 Page 2
demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required at a fair and reasonable price.”
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is needed to conduct an independent Financial Statement and Single Audit of the City for the Fiscal Years ended June 30 2022, June 30 2023, and June 30 2024.
Although a permitted exception to competitive bidding requirements existed due to the need of the professional services of an accountant, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was still issued in order to expand the pool of possible candidates.
During the Audit Committee meeting on March 28, 2022, the Audit Committee (as approved by the City Council per resolution number 25,220), requested staff to publish a Request for Proposal for Certified Public Accountants to conduct an independent Financial Statement and Single Audit of the City for the Fiscal Years ended June 30 2022, June 30 2023 and June 30 2024. [The members of the Audit Committee per Resolution 25,220 are two (2) appointed members of the City Council, the City Controller, the City Manager, and one member/resident of the City of Compton]. The committee received only two responses to the request for proposal from: Eadie and Payne LLP and Badawi and Associates. Both candidates were invited for presentation and interview respectively. Thereafter, members of the Audit Committee rated the candidates based on their presentation and written proposals.
The rating was based on the following criteria:
1. Approach to Audit Quality
2. Team Knowledge and Experience
3. Unique Qualifications
4. Value Added Services
5. Scope of work and Pricing of the Engagement
The Audit Committee’s ranking score out of 100 points, as well as the Dollar Cost Bid for each firm are as follows:
Firm Name Audit Committee
Ranking
Fee Proposal
Eadie and Payne LLP 88 point $655,644.00
Badawi and Associates 76 points $556,510.00
Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Agreement
Eadie & Payne LLP / Audit Services
June 27, 2023 Page 3
The Audit Committee gave Eadie and Payne LLP the highest rating since it was deemed that Eadie and Payne LLP had a more responsive proposal. This was due to its significant experience with performing technically challenging audits with cities who have experienced State Controller and State Auditor Department audit findings.
Approval of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract between the City of Compton and Eadie and Payne LLP for the audit of the City’s Financial Statements, Single Audit, Public Finance Authority Audit, Successor Agency Audit, and Compton Housing Authority Audit.

oCommunication with the State Controller’s Office, State Auditor, and other agencies as required.
Eadie and Payne LLP is the existing Certified Public Accounting Firm conducting the Financial Statement and Single Audit of the City. Presently the firm is making every effort to help the City to resolve the State Controller and State Auditor findings. The firm is familiar with the City’s current financial and internal control position and has played a significant role in building the City’s existing relationship with the State Controller’s Office. Further, the firm’s staff have worked directly with City Staff to develop a very detailed action plan and their participation in monitoring the progress is also invaluable.
The cost for the agreement to audit the City’s Financial Statements for the Fiscal Years ended June 30 2022, June 30 2023, and June 30, 2024 with an option to extend the contract for each of the succeeding two Fiscal Years is Six-Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Six-Hundred Forty- Four dollars ($655,644.00).

AGREEMENT:
1. Services to be rendered by Independent Auditor. It is the mutual understanding of the parties that the Independent Auditor shall perform and be responsible for rendering the following professional auditing services Basic Financial Statements — audit of the City's basic financial statements for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022, for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2023 and for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024, to include audit of the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type Professional Services Agreement –Eadie & Payne, LLP

2 activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information with an option to extend for two more years. And for the years then ended, and the related notes which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements.
1. In addition will the Independent Auditor conduct compliance audit over major federal award programs for the periods ended June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024, with an options extend the contract for two more years.
2. Furthermore, the Auditor will perform agreed upon procedures pertaining to the City’s GANN limit, Measure P financial statements and compliance with Measure P requirements, and compliance with Bond Covenant requirements Audit shall be performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
3. Our audits will be conducted with the objectives of our expressing an opinion on each opinion unit and an opinion on compliance regarding the entity’s major federal award programs. The objectives of our audits of the financial statements are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and in accordance with Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
The objectives of our compliance audits are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to form an opinion and report at the level specified in the governmental audit requirement about whether the entity complied in all material respects with the applicable compliance requirements and identify audit and reporting requirements specified in the governmental audit requirement that are supplementary to GAAS and Government Auditing Standards , if any, and perform procedures to address those requirements.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (U.S. GAAP,) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) require that certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) and budgetary comparison information, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, who considers it to be an essential part of financial Professional Services Agreement –Eadie & Payne, LLP
City-wide Financial Auditing Services (Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024) City Controller/Resolution No_____________________
3 reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, (U.S. GAAS). These limited procedures will consist primarily of inquiries of management regarding their methods of measurement and presentation, and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries. We will not express an opinion or provide any form of assurance on the RSI. The following RSI is required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This RSI will be subjected to certain limited procedures but will not be audited:
•Management's Discussion and Analysis;
•Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios;
•Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension
Liability and Related Ratios; Schedule of Plan Contributions; •Schedule of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related
Ratios; Schedule of contributions – OPEB; and Notes to required supplementary information.
•General Fund and Major Fund Budgetary Comparison Schedules; Supplementary information other than RSI will accompany the City’s basic financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and perform certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the supplementary information to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with U.S. GAAS. We intend to provide an opinion on the following supplementary information in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole:
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Individual and combining fund financial statements.
Also, the document we submit to you will include the following other additional information that will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements:

Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We will subject the schedule of expenditures of federal awards to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the schedule to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We intend to provide an opinion on whether the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Financial and compliance audits in accordance with provisions of U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 (Single Audit of federal grants for six major programs) and related compliance supplements for Fiscal Years ending June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024.
Independent Auditor acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement, the City is relying on Independent Auditor's special skills and experience to do and perform the services in accordance with best standards of professional practice.
Independent Auditor services hereunder shall be performed in a good, workmanlike and professional manner. Independent Auditor shall be responsible for correcting and completing all errors and omissions related to the services provided by the Independent Auditor for this Agreement at no additional cost to the City. "Errors" and "Omissions" for purposes of this paragraph are defined to mean a failure by the Independent Auditor to meet the standards of its profession as set forth in the preceding paragraph. The acceptance of the services by City does not release Independent Auditor from these obligations.
Independent Auditor will be responsible for employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the services. All of Independent Auditor's staff will be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned tasks. Independent Auditor will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement by all of its employees and subcontractors, if any, and will keep the services under its control.
Data Collection Form
Prior to the completion of our engagement, we will complete the sections of the Data Collection Form that are our responsibility. The form will summarize our audit findings, amounts and conclusions. It is management’s responsibility to submit a reporting package including financial statements, schedule of expenditure of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings and corrective action plan along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. The financial reporting package must be text Professional Services Agreement –Eadie & Payne, LLP
City-wide Financial Auditing Services (Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024) City Controller/Resolution No_____________________
5 searchable, unencrypted, and unlocked. Otherwise, the reporting package will not be accepted by the federal audit clearinghouse. We will assist you in the electronic submission and certification. You may request from us copies of our report for you to include with the reporting package submitted to pass-through entities.
The Data Collection Form is required to be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of our auditors’ reports or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless specifically waived by a federal cognizant or oversight agency for audits. Data Collection Forms submitted untimely are one of the factors in assessing programs at a higher risk.
Audit of the Financial Statements
We will conduct our audits in accordance with GAAS, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). As part of an audit of financial statements in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.2 However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit. •Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. •Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Professional Services Agreement –Eadie & Payne, LLP
City-wide Financial Auditing Services (Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024) City Controller/Resolution No_____________________
6 Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected exists, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards of the Comptroller General of the United States of America. Please note that the determination of abuse is subjective and Government Auditing Standards does not require auditors to detect abuse.
Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any other periods.
We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the City’s basic financial statements. Our report will be addressed to the City Council. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph(s) to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from the engagement. If our opinions on the basic financial statements are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or to issue a report as a result of this engagement.
In accordance with the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, we will also issue a written report describing the scope of our testing over internal control over financial reporting and over compliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of grants and contracts, including the results of that testing. However, providing an opinion on internal control and compliance over financial reporting will not be an objective of the audit and, therefore, no such opinion will be expressed.
Audit of Major Program Compliance
Our audit of the City’s major federal award program(s) compliance will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Single Audit Act, as amended; and the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion on major federal award program compliance and to render the required reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion on compliance will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion or withdraw from the engagement.
The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major federal award programs, and the applicable compliance requirements occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the entity’s compliance based on the audit.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Professional Services Agreement –Eadie & Payne, LLP
City-wide Financial Auditing Services (Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022, 2023, 2024) City Controller/Resolution No_____________________
7 Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists.
The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the entity’s compliance with the requirements of the federal programs as a whole.
As part of a compliance audit in accordance with GAAS and in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Our procedures will consist of determining major federal programs and, performing the applicable procedures described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the entity’s major programs, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on the entity’s compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
Also, as required by the Uniform Guidance, we will obtain an understanding of the entity’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design and perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each of the entity’s major federal award programs. Our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report. However, we will communicate to you, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we have identified during the audit.
We will issue a report on compliance that will include an opinion or disclaimer of opinion regarding the entity’s major federal award programs, and a report on internal controls over compliance that will report any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses identified; however, such report will not express an opinion on internal control.

18 14.Termination. In the event of the Independent Auditor's failure to execute, deliver, or perform the services, after giving written notice of default and two (2) weeks to correct the same, then, in addition to any other remedies, City may terminate this Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Independent Auditor in writing. Independent Auditor has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement.

Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon any event that renders performance impossible. In such case, City shall be responsible for payment of compensation for the reasonable value of services rendered to the point at which this Agreement is terminated, but in no event to exceed the total lump sum fee payable under this Agreement.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY CONTROLLER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS
WITH AND TO ISSUE PURCHASE ORDERS TO BADAWI AND
ASSOCIATES ($240,000) AND WITH PRICE PAIGE AND COMPANY
($184,000) FOR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (C.P.A.) FIRM
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AND TO AUTHORIZE A BUDGET
AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CONTROLLER’S FY2022-2023
DEPARTMENT BUDGET.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute two agreements and to issue purchase orders to Badawi and Associates for Two-Hundred Forty-Thousand Dollars ($240,000), and to Price Paige and Company for One-Hundred- Eighty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($184,000) for Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) Firm Professional Services.
BACKGROUND
The State of California State Auditor’s Department issued an Audit report to the City in October of 2022. This report had findings and recommendations for various areas of improvement needed for the City. One of the recommendations included in this report was (on page 4 and 6 of the report) the following,
“By July 2023, direct the City Manager to make efforts to fully staff the human resources department and the City Controller’s office with qualified individuals to ensure that these departments can address Compton’s broader, chronic issues related to staffing and finances. The level of staffing in the departments should be sufficient for the successful performance of key tasks, including those listed in our recommendations”
“By July 2024, the City Council should ensure that the City has issued its audited financial statements for fiscal years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23. The Council should adopt a requirement that, for subsequent years, the City must issue complete audited financial statements by six months after the end of the fiscal year.
To ensure that it has the ability to meet this requirement, the City should consider
12.12.12.12.12. Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Badawi and Associates and Price Paige and Company
measure such as increasing staff in the City Controller’s office and training them on their responsibilities for preparing the financial statements.” “By December 2024, Compton should resolve all of the audit findings it has received that predate its fiscal year 2020-21 audited financial statements and any findings from subsequent audit reports, including findings related to improving financial controls.”
Prior to this, there were also audit findings and recommendations to enhance the ability for the City Controller’s department to meet its deliverables that were published in the City’s Single Audit Report and in the State Controller’s Audit Report of 2018. The audit findings from the State Controller’s Audit Report which were combined with the City’s external auditor (Eadie & Payne LLC)’s audit findings were stated in the Fiscal Year 2019- 2020 Single Audit report as follows. They display the urgent need to staff the City Controller’s department with sufficient and qualified staffing:
The City has received 8 findings from that State Controller’s office and from Eadie and Payne external audit firm during FY2018- FY2020 as follows:
o2014-074B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
o2014-064A-Lack of Adequate Staff Performing Critical Functions (MW) o2014-085B-Management Philosophy and Operating Style (SD) o2014-089B-Organizational Structure (MW)
o2014-091B-Organizational Structure (MW)
o2014-116B-Information (SD)
o2014-072B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
o2014-073B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
A Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) firm is a firm that provides professional accounting services which can assist in catch-up-work to perform the work necessary to complete the City’s delinquent audits as well as to assist with improvements to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Controller’s Department accounting and reporting operations.
Between Fiscal Year 2013-2014 and Fiscal Year 2016-2017 there were no annual audits performed for the City. Additionally, the position of City Controller, as well as other key positions in the City Controller’s Department had significant turnover in employment from this period through to the present. Lack of past timely audits, and frequent turn-over of staff have left the City with an on-going delay in its ability to catch-up on timely financial reporting of audited financial data.
These failures of the lack of past audits and the inability to get sufficient qualified staff have caused the City Controller’s department to delay significant deliverables, and has caused specifically, the City of Compton to be listed as number one high risk since the FY 2020-2021 Audit could not be completed.
Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget
Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Badawi and Associates and Price Paige and Company
Therefore, in order to comply with the State Auditor, State Controller, and External Auditor recommendations for catching up on all audits, the City Controller is requesting that an agreement with more than one C.P.A. firm be approved so that operations can be maintained and so that the City Controller’s office can catch up on the backlog of account reconciliations, audit preparation work, accounting and bookkeeping work that has been delayed. The catching up would directly affect the City Controller Department’s ability to adhere to the audit recommendations to catch up on all delayed audits and to implement all audit findings. The C.P.A. firms would be used only until all audits have been completed timely.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In order to remain in compliance with the State of California Auditor’s October 2022 recommendations as well as to remain in compliance with the State Controller Audit Report and External Auditor recommendations to fully catch up on all audits and implement all corrective actions to remove all audit findings, Controller staff has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CPA firms in order to search for the firm or firms that could provide the needed services at the best prices.
Additionally, an agreement with affected Bargaining Unit representatives has been reached on May 25, 2023, that all other routine avenues of staffing the department were exhausted and that a CPA firm would be the only avenue at this time to assist the Controller’s Department to catch up on its late audits.
It shall be of note that Section 4-11.7.d of the Municipal Code states the following in regards to competitive bidding requirements for accountants:
“Except as otherwise provided in Section 1409 of the City Charter, state, or federal law, the competitive bidding requirements of this section shall not apply in the following circumstances:
d. Any contract for professional services; such as, but not limited to, attorneys, physicians, architects, engineers, consultants, accountant, specialized printers or other individuals or organizations possessing a high degree of professional, unique, specialized or technical skill or expertise.
Selection of professional services providers shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required at a fair and reasonable price.”
Although, by the authority expressed in this section of the municipal code a request for proposal was not needed to be issued, it was still issued to search for the best prices and for availability of help. The scope of work of the RFP is as follows and is made up of a variety of different projects that are needed to be completed in order to catch-up on delinquent audits, to remove all audit findings, and to implement greater effective and Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget
Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Badawi and Associates and Price Paige and Company
efficient procedures in the City Controller’s office, including succession planning procedures to avoid the losses of information that occur when there is employee turn- over.
It should be of note that there is a C.P.A. shortage that is on-going in Los Angeles and throughout the country at this time. An RFP was issued for C.P.A. firm help by the City Controller’s Office a total of 5 times. Each time, the RFPs were listed on the City website, posted in the Compton Bulletin, and posted to the CSMFO website (a website frequently monitored by vendors who provide financial services to local government agencies). The first three times the RFP was issued (on May 18, 2022, on June 22, 2022, and on July 20, 2022), the RFP received zero qualified responses. The fourth RFP issued on December 7, 2022 received only two respondents. With the fifth RFP issuance on February 15, 2023, three firms responded as follows:
Firm Name Partner Bill Rate
Badawi and Associates $200/hr
Price Paige and company $350/hr
Lance Soll and Lunghard, LLP $495/hr
The amount of work needed to assist the City Controller’s Department to achieve its goals of fulfilling the auditing authority requirements will be a time intensive task. Therefore, agreements with two firms are being requested so that the City can take advantage of a greater number of C.P.A.’s to be able to complete the needed work in-time for the State Auditor’s recommended due date. In order to be on time for the State Auditor’s Recommended due date of July 2024, the Single Audit due date of March 31, 2024 must be achieved. This approach increases the opportunities for the City to achieve its objectives at the soonest possible time-frame.
Two Purchase Orders are being requested, one for each firm with a total-combined not- to-exceed-spending-amount of Four-Hundred Twenty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($424,000.00).
FISCAL IMPACT
Two Purchase Orders are being requested, one for each firm with a total-combined not- to-exceed-spending-amount of Four-Hundred Twenty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($424,000.00). This is made up of two purchase orders, one to Badawi and Associates for Two-Hundred Forty-Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00), and another to Price Paige and Company for One-Hundred-Eighty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($184,000.00) for Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) Firm Professional Services. These represent the estimated cost of performing the necessary functions that are needed to catch up on all audits and related audit findings my March 2024.

Once the Accounting catch-up is completed and proven to the various Audit Authorities, it will provide relevant and reliable financial information to City Stakeholders on a timely basis to help ensure the City’s future decision making and fiscal health. Further it will communicate to stakeholders of the City that the City is committed to the improvement and success of the City’s fiscal health. The achievement of timely production of financial information will provide guidance for financial decision making that will ultimately improve the City’s financial position, while simultaneously addressing related auditor findings and recommendations.

The City would continue to remain in a position of being behind and remaining out of compliance with auditor recommendations to provide for timely financial information, and these audit findings would likely continue to be repeated until an equally effective measure is adopted and implemented.

SERVICES, AND TO AUTHORIZE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CONTROLLER’S FY2022-2023 DEPARTMENT BUDGET.
WHEREAS, the State of California State Auditor’s Department issued an Audit report to the City in October of 2022. This report had findings and recommendations for various areas of improvement needed for the City. A few of the recommendations included in this report were (on page 4 and 6 of the report) stated that (1) the Controller’s Department needs to be fully staffed with qualified individuals by July 2023, (2) the City’s audits need to be done on time, and (3) the City should resolve all audit findings by December of 2024.
WHEREAS, prior to the State Auditor’s Report of October of 2022, there were also audit findings and recommendations to enhance the ability for the City Controller’s department to meet its deliverables that were published in the City’s Single Audit Report and in the State Controller’s Audit Report of 2018. The audit findings from the State Controller’s Audit Report which were combined with the City’s external auditor (Eadie & Payne LLC)’s audit findings were stated in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Single Audit report as follows. They display the urgent need to staff the City Controller’s department with sufficient and qualified staffing:
The City has received 8 findings from the State Controller’s office and from Eadie and Payne LLP external audit firm during FY2018- FY2020 with finding numbers as follows:
o2014-074B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
o2014-064A-Lack of Adequate Staff Performing Critical Functions (MW) o2014-085B-Management Philosophy and Operating Style (SD) o2014-089B-Organizational Structure (MW)
o2014-091B-Organizational Structure (MW)
o2014-116B-Information (SD)
o2014-072B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
o2014-073B-Commitment to Competence (SD)
WHEREAS, the City Controller’s Department is currently deficient in being fully staff with qualified staff. In order comply with the State Auditor, State Controller, and External Auditor recommendations for increases in qualified staffing in the department, and for catching up on all audits, the City Controller is requesting that an agreement with more than one C.P.A. firm be approved so that operations can be maintained and so that the City Controller’s office can catch up on the backlog of account reconciliations, audit preparation work, accounting and bookkeeping work that has been delayed. The catching up would directly affect the City Controller Department’s ability to adhere to the audit recommendations to catch up on all delayed audits and to implement all audit findings.
WHEREAS, an agreement with affected Bargaining Unit representatives has already been reached on May 25 th, 2023, that all other routine avenues of staffing the department were exhausted and that a CPA firm would be the only avenue at this time to assist the Controller’s Department to catch up on its late audits.
WHEREAS, Controller staff has issued an RFP for CPA firms in order to search for the firm or firms that could provide the needed services at the best prices.
WHEREAS, an RFP was issued for C.P.A. firm help by the City Controller’s Office a total of 5 times. The first three times the RFP was issued (on May 18, 2022, on June 22, 2022, on July 20, 2022, and on December 7, 2022), the RFP received zero qualified responses. The fourth RFP issued on February 15, 2023 received only two respondents.
Resolution No. __________
2 With the fifth RFP issuance, three firms responded. the amount of work needed to assist the City Controller’s Department to achieve its goals of fulfilling the auditing authority requirements will be a time intensive task. Therefore, agreements with two firms are being requested so that the City can take advantage of a greater number of C.P.A.’s to be able to complete the needed work in-time for the State Auditor’s recommended due date. This approach increases the opportunities for the City to achieve its objectives at the soonest possible time-frame.
WHEREAS, two Purchase Orders are being requested, one for each firm with a total- combined not-to-exceed-spending-amount of Four-Hundred Twenty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($424,000.00).
WHEREAS, the cost for these services is Four-Hundred Twenty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($424,000.00), which is made up of two purchase orders, one to Badawi and Associates for Two-Hundred Forty-Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00), and another to Price Paige and Company for One-Hundred-Eighty-Four-Thousand Dollars ($184,000.00) for Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.)

We will perform reconciliations of balance sheet and income statement balances, as listed on the attached schedule. We will also prepare audit schedules and function as a liaison with the City’s external auditor for all related schedules and any additional inquiries, as deemed necessary. 2) We will prepare bank and bond trustee reconciliations for all accounts listed in the attached schedule for the months of July 2021 through June 2023 and work with City personnel to prepare all journal entries necessary to ensure that the City’s trial balance reconciles to the June 2022 and June 2023 bank reconciliations.
3) We will assist the City in responding to all inquiries derived from its external auditor’s analytical procedures for June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 financial statement audits.

Electronic data that is confidential to the City may be transmitted or stored using these methods. We may use third-party service providers to store or transmit this data, such as providers of tax return preparation and document management software. In using these data communication and storage methods, our firm employs measures designed to maintain data security. We use reasonable efforts to keep such communications and data access secure in accordance with our obligations under applicable laws and professional standards. We also require all of our third-party vendors to do the same.

to our use of these electronic devices and applications and submission of confidential client information to third-party service providers during this engagement.
With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financial statements published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in these sites or to consider the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original document.
Engagement Administration, Fees and Other
We will schedule the engagement based in part on deadlines, working conditions, and the availability of your key personnel. We will plan the engagement based on the assumption that your personnel will cooperate and provide assistance by performing tasks such as preparing requested schedules, retrieving supporting documents, and preparing confirmations. If, for whatever reason, your personnel are unavailable to provide the necessary assistance in a timely manner, it may substantially increase the work we have to do to complete the engagement within the established deadlines, resulting in an increase in fees over our original fee estimate.
It is our policy to keep records related to this engagement for a minimum of seven years after the report release date.
Our fees for the above services are $184,000, which are based on the expected hours required to perform the service at our standard hourly rates. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your consulting engagement. Our billing rates are reviewed annually and, where appropriate, adjusted for any increases due to inflation and other factors. We will issue a monthly billing statement for the work completed in that month. Payments for services are due when rendered and interim billings may be submitted as work progresses and expenses are incurred. Our fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the services listed above. Cooperation from your staff includes timely responses to our inquiries and providing all requested documentation on or before the agreed-upon dates. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you before we incur additional costs. The fees for these services will be billed at the hourly billing rate for the individual involved, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
If any dispute pertaining to our work product arises among the parties hereto, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes before resorting to litigation.
The costs of any mediation proceeding shall be shared equally by all parties.
All work will be suspended if your account becomes 90 days past due. No work will be resumed until your account is fully paid. You acknowledge and agree that in the event we stop work or withdraw from this engagement as a result of your failure to pay on a timely basis for services rendered as required by this engagement letter, we shall not be liable for any damages that occur as a result of our ceasing to render services. Client and accountant both agree that any dispute over fees charged by the accountant to the client will be submitted for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be binding and final. IN AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, WE BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN THE
EVENT OF A DISPUTE OVER FEES CHARGED BY THE ACCOUNTANT, EACH OF US IS GIVING UP
THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE DISPUTE DECIDED IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND INSTEAD WE ARE ACCEPTING THE USE OF ARBITRATION FOR RESOLUTION.
If information becomes known that would make our continued involvement in this engagement inappropriate, or parties involved change, we reserve the right to withdraw from this engagement. In addition, we will refuse to perform any requested act that we deem a violation of law, public policy, or our professional ethical standards, and may, as a result, withdraw from the engagement without penalty.
May 31, 2023
In no event will our firm be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from our performance on this engagement, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
If these terms are in accordance with your understanding and meet with your approval, please return a signed copy via email or regular mail at your earliest convenience. This agreement will become effective when you return the signed copy to us.
If the need for additional services arises, our agreement with you will need to be revised. It is customary for us to describe these revisions in an addendum to this letter.
Sincerely,
Joshua Giosa, CPA

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY CONTROLLER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON RESCINDING RESOLUTION 23,970 WHICH ADOPTED THE REVISED
REPAYMENT SCHEDULE OF THE GENERAL FUND INTERNAL
BORROWING AND APPROVING A SECOND REVISED REPAYMENT
SCHEDULE OF THE GENERAL FUND INTERNAL BORROWING.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City Council rescind the repayment schedule of the General Fund Internal Borrowing adopted in Resolution 23,970 and approve the revised repayment schedule presented.
BACKGROUND
During Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the City’s audited financial statements recognized that the General Fund had borrowed cash from other funds to pay for General Fund expenditures in years where there were not enough revenues to adequately fund the General Fund expenditures. As of June 30, 2011, the General Fund owed a total of $41,921,071 to various internal funds of the City. This indebtedness effectively occurred when the General Fund had a negative balance in the pooled checking account which meant that the General Fund drew money from the pool over and above the General Fund revenues that were brought into the checking account. Several funds such as the Retirement Fund, Sewer Fund, and Water Fund had positive balances in the Pooled Checking account meaning that the funds brought more revenues into the Pooled Checking account than they actually spent in the past.
On December 20th, 2011, the City Council adopted resolution number 23,447 which approved a repayment schedule for this internal borrowing with an average of $4 million in annual installments, with an interest rate based on a 20-year mortgage rate of 3.5%.
On June 17th, 2014, the City Council adopted resolution number 23,970 which rescinded resolution number 23,447, including the repayment schedule, and adopted a revised repayment schedule. The revised repayment schedule adopted on June 17, 2014 had an average of $3.5 million in annual installments, and had an interest rate that was based on the (auditor-recommended) Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) average annual yield of 0.495% prevailing as of the end of 2010/2011 fiscal year when the 2011 repayment plan was formulated. Additionally, the number of years for repayment was reduced to 15 years from 20 years. The principal amount to be repaid remained at $41,901,757.
