APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Auditor-Controller, or designee, to execute a contract for fiscal years
2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016 with Wallace Rowe and Associates for annual audits of certain grants,
including the County Metropolitan Transportation Fund, certain Transportation and Development Act projects, and
other miscellaneous projects as identified and directed by the Auditor-Controller, not to exceed $50,000 in total for
any fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Generally the audit fees are reimbursed by the grant or program.
BACKGROUND:
Certain grants and other funds and projects require annual independent certified financial audits. The number and
type of grants and projects varies year to year and are difficult to anticipate. Although the fee for most grant audits
and the Metropolitan Transportation Fund can be agreed to in advance, certain audit projects have unique
circumstances and the fee cannot reasonably be negotiated until those circumstances are known. It is beneficial to the
County to

additional penalties.
