ENGAGE BOOKKEEPER TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE STATEMENT OF AUDITING STANDARDS (“SAS”) NO. 115

Mr. Barner explained that the District has historically engaged MAC to perform a review of the District’s financials in order to comply with SAS 115 in order to eliminate any financial reporting weaknesses that could be noted by the District’s auditor as a result of the District lacking an internal financial review control independent of the Bookkeeper, as is the case with most all municipal utility districts. Director Moravec requested that going forward, MAC provide the engagement letter for such review prior to performance of the work, which is conducted prior to the Board’s acceptance of the District’s audit.

Upon a motion by Director Barlow, seconded by Director White, after full discussion and with all Directors present voting aye, the Board authorized the execution of the MAC engagement letter.

Mr. Murphy then reminded the Board that the 2026 Stormwater Line Inspection Report identified several outfalls for such lines that need repair. Mr. Murphy informed the Board that due to the Lift Station Phase II (“LS Phase II”) bids coming in below the amount budgeted for this fiscal year, Quiddity recommends the District include rehabilitation of Stormwater Line Outfalls (“Outfalls”) Nos. 10 and 58 as part of this year’s outfall rehabilitation project. Mr. Murphy stated that Quiddity is finalizing the LS Phase II design to be presented at the June Board meeting and requested authorization from the Board to solicit bids for the rehabilitation of Outfalls Nos. 10 and 58.

Upon a motion by Director Barlow, seconded by Director White, after full discussion and with all Directors present voting aye, the Board approved the Engineer’s Report, including: 1) awarding McDonald the contract for LS Phase II in the amount of 647,206.00 with a term of 250 calendar days; and 2) solicit bids for the Outfalls Nos. 10 and 58.
