RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a third amendment (Attachment 1) to the agreement
for audit services with Badawi and Associates to extend the term of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the Town of Los Gatos issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified independent
certified public accounting firms to audit the Town’s financial statements for three fiscal years,
with an option to extend the agreement an additional two years with Town Council approval.
A review committee selected Badawi and Associates, Certified Public Accountants as the firm to
provide the Town auditing and other optional services. In 2020, the Council approved a first
amendment to exercise the option to extend the agreement for an additional two fiscal years
and in 2022 the Council approved a second amendment for additional services of reviewing
Measure G revenues and expenditures (Attachment 2).
DISCUSSION:
For the past five years, Badawi and Associates has provided the following services for the Town:
• The annual audit of the basic financial statements in accordance with Governmental
Accounting Standards and preparation of the Town’s Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report;
