Finance Director will return to BOCC with the appropriate budgeting formality for this 2022 <br />amendment. <br />• PSA allows for mutual agreement to three one-year extensions beginning in 2023. <br />• Proposed future scope will be phased to include the following: <br />o Review, revision of chart of accounts for simplification and compliance with BARS <br />o Implementation of best practices; documentation of all processes <br />o Continued drafting of Financial Statements via scalable annual engagement which reflects <br />County’s internal capacity to complete this task <br />• Finance Director may proceed with “future scope” in 2022, depending on budget and progress with <br />initial scope. Director will provide regular updates during Finance Study Sessions. <br />• Prosecutor’s review of contract is pending as of the drafting of this agenda statement. If review is not <br />concluded prior to publishing deadline, staff will bring a revised version to June 7th BOCC meeting for <br />specific discussion of revisions. Finance Director appreciates BOCC and Prosecutor’s flexibility while <br />expediting this engagement. <br /> <br />Attachment: <br />• PSA Tara Dunford CPA
