. DESCRIPTION: The independent auditors from the firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day &
Co., anticipate completion in the next few weeks, of the work required to publish the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the year ending June 30, 1997. In the past the City Council has established
an ad-hoc subcommittee to review the report with the Auditors. The subcommittee last year consisted of
Vice Mayor Burton and Councilmember Barnes.
In the past, Staff prepares an item for action by the entire City Council at a public meeting, after the
subcommittee has had an opportunity to review the report and discuss any issues with the Auditors,. Once
a subcommittee is designated Staff will coordinate potential meeting dates and times with the Auditors.
The final report will need to be issued by the second week in December in order to meet the deadline for
submittal to the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers. It would be desirable for the report to
be presented to the full City Council not later than the City Council meeting on December 2,1997.
Staff would recommend that two members of the City Council be designated as an ad-hoc subcommittee,
to meet with the City Auditors to review and discuss the report for the period ending June 30, 1997.
