All - 

I received a call from Matt Hunt of CliftonLarsonAllen, our auditing firm, regarding a Single Audit for Fiscal 2013.  In the spring of 2014, they gave me a quote for conducting audits for Fiscal 2014 and 2015.  Later, we added Fiscal 2013 to the list following a recommendation from bond counsel and the DOR.  Neither they nor I knew that the Town had expended CDBG monies exceeding $500,000 in FY'13.  

We are required to do a Single Audit for FY'13, and this has added to the cost.  I recommend that we pay the additional cost from the $27,000 in surplus funds that is scheduled for transfer into the BoS expenses budget in the FY'16 Financial Transfer article.
