Title
36. Approval of a One-Year Extension with Hancock Askew & Co., LLP, for the Audit of the 2021 Financials and Preparation of the 2021 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, in the amount of $53,125.
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Due to the unusual and unprecedented measures that have been taken to address the effects of the pandemic, staff is recommending to extend the 5-year agreement with our Auditor, Hancock Askew & Co., LLP, for one additional year. Hancock Askew has been heavily involved in all of the steps taken to provide rent relief to our tenants and are also very familiar with the multiple new grants that the Commission has received throughout the pandemic. It is critical to have an Auditor that is familiar with all of the rent relief amendments that have been approved and are continuing to be offered. Hancock Askew is also very familiar with the steps needed to assist in compiling the Commission’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which has become additionally complex due to growth, the COVID pandemic and elevated compliance reporting requirements.
