[00:01:29] All right. And authorizing the execution of FY25 CRA audit engagement letters. [00:01:41] The request before you this evening is for the CRA board to authorize execution of the community redevelopment agency audit engagement letters for fiscal year 24 with Mulden Jenkins, [00:01:56] who we have worked with and Ms. Dunn will represent to you the reason that this recommendation is being advanced to you. [00:02:05] This agenda item is consistent with an agenda item that was presented to city council on April 1st. [00:02:10] And due to the nature of this item and the establishment of a CRA board, this is required to be presented as a separate item. [00:02:17] And on December 7th, 2021, the city council approved Resolution 2022-03, [00:02:23] which established an auditor selection committee and a committee chair in accordance with Florida Statute 218.391. [00:02:30] The resolution states that the committee shall have the primary purpose of assisting the city council in the selection of an auditor to conduct the city's annual financial audit. [00:02:39] The committee consisted of all five current city council members with the mayor appointed as the chair of the committee. [00:02:45] Then on February 15th, 2022, the city council awarded RFP number 2022-001, [00:02:53] independent audit services to Mulden and Jenkins for three audit years consisting of fiscal year 21 through fiscal year 23 with engagement letters for audit services executed each fiscal year. [00:03:05] Mulden and Jenkins is listed as the state's master services agreement to perform the financial and performance audits [00:03:12] under the Department of Management Services contract number 84111600-20-1 with an effective period of March 1st, 2021 through February 28th, 2027. [00:03:25] Then on April 1st, 2025, the city council authorized management to piggyback on the state contract [00:03:31] and move forward with the execution of the 2024 audit engagement letters authorizing Mulden and Jenkins to perform the external financial audit for the city of New Port Richey. [00:03:41] Staff recommends the CRA board authorize the execution of the Mulden and Jenkins engagement letters for audit services related to fiscal year September 30th, 2024. [00:03:53] Funds have been budgeted in the redevelopment fund for fiscal year 24-25 in the amount of $5,500 for costs related to the audit of the CRA's financial statements covering the period ending September 30th, 2024. [00:04:06] I'm prepared to answer any questions that you might have. [00:04:09] Do we have any public comment? Seeing no one come forward, bring it back for discussion and vote. [00:04:15] I move approval of the request to extend the contract as provided. [00:04:22] Second. [00:04:23] All right, Tim Aker? [00:04:24] No, sir. [00:04:25] Second. [00:04:26] I'll get it. [00:04:28] All in favor signify by aye. [00:04:30] Aye. [00:04:31] Those opposed? [00:04:32] None. [00:04:34] Have communication, so adjournment. [00:04:39] Thank you.
