Amendment #1 to Professional Services Agreement with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP for Financial Auditing Services Council Member Henderson .provided some history on the length of time the City's previous auditor served. Council Member Henderson commented on how difficult it can be to potentially give up a professional and successful work relationship, but in terms of financial management procedures that the City Council adopted in 2014 and affirmed and amended in 2016, it might be appropriate to shorten the, time frame for the extension or at least discuss at some point in time in the future whether or not an Request for Proposal for audit services should be issued in the next few years or so. Mayor McNaboe asked if the Council could extend the agreement for fewer than three years. Cynthia Fortune, Assistant City Manager explained that the original contract's term of agreement stated the agreement could be extended with a supplemental agreement with no restraints on how many years or how long the contract extension should be. Mayor McNaboe asked the City Attorney if Council acted on the item and extended for three (3) years, would that make it difficult to come back and shorten. Adrian Guerra, City Attorney stated Council could terminate the contract if they wanted, however he suggested the item be brought back if Council wanted to consider a shorter time period with no extensions and have the ability to go out to Request for Proposal sooner rather than later. City of Grand Terrace Page 2 Minutes Grand Terrace City Council and Successor Agency October 23, 2018 Council Member Henderson moved approval for the item with .the proposed three (3) year extension but eliminating the additional two (2) year extension. The motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Pro Tern Sylvia Robles asked how long the auditors have been in place.
