 Following this meeting to order at whatever time it is, two minutes, three minutes after four. I will second that nomination. I wanted to be chair of the other one. That's fine. Vice chair? You have to close. And then vote. Oh, are there any other nominations? You really want me to run this meeting. This is Ms. GOL. What do you think? So all those in favor of patting chair? That's it. You're supposed to vote for yourself. That's two to one. That's two to one. Pat voted against herself. All right, so should we vote? I nominate Dorothy for vice chair. All right, well, let's vote. We'll take a vote. We have two nominations. Would you like to speak? I don't think I'm appropriate, since I'm already a chair of one committee and the vice president. So I'm trying to pass it all around. You second. So all those in favor of Dorothy as vice chair? Dorothy. And I seconded that. What's your vote on you? You're against? Oh, abstaining. 2-0, I'm on. Me, not unanimous. 2-0, I abstained. Dorothy abstained. And that one thing is, what thing do we? What's the thing we have to do? Yeah, I think you have to get recommended to the council. We would vote to recommend to the council. Can I ask a few questions about the letter? It's addressed to you, Paul. Is it technically supposed to be addressed to the council because of the charter that the council shall, whatever the language is? OK, and that was going to be my next question, was who's supposed to sign the letter? Is that going to be after we vote the president, or? We can delegate it to Paul. Can I ask one more question on the, I'm just curious, as we get up, how long has Mallinson he been doing our audit in town just for background purposes? So we haven't been rotating. But you mentioned to me that the person changes. How often does that happen? Does the auditor have to come from, auditing firm have to come from Western Massachusetts? I've heard earlier today that there are only two possible auditing firms in Western Massachusetts. And if we said we'd like to bring in new eyes, are we allowed to get somebody from non-Western Massachusetts? The only thing that you need to keep aware of is that it'll cost you more money because of travel, because of their on-site days. And in general, from my experience of knowing auditors, looking in audit quotes, the Eastern Mass ones are more expensive anyway. We might be able to find somebody out of Worcester. I guess engage is the right word. Engage Mallinson Heath to provide the audit for the fiscal year 2019, the year end audit for fiscal year 2019, I guess, is the right word. The fiscal year, I don't know how to word it. The audit for year end fiscal year 19, it's not a good way to word it or say it. I call it the fiscal year 19 audit. OK. That's good. I will second that motion. The process for engaging. She gave me two dates, Thursday, April 25 from 11 to 12 or Friday, April 26 from 9 to 10. So Friday, the 26 works very well for me. Works less well, although I could do it like that. I cannot do it on Thursday. I'll be teaching. Is there any way to have her come a half an hour later? I'm sorry, what? Is there any way to have the auditor come a half an hour later, as long as JCPC would end on Thursday? On the Friday? On the 26th, yeah. Because I have to. Well, are you saying like 9 to 11? I mean 10 to 11? I'm supposed to be at the survival center of 11. 930 to 1030, is that better? OK. Sonya, you sent both of those out. Looking forward to it. I mean, the engagement letter was just a page-turner. Your husband is usually on the audit committee for the library. OK, so what's this? Why don't I care? That's my bottom line. What time does that one start? The parking meeting starts at 6. And the presentations and discussion, discussion of charge, engagement letter for FY 2020 audit. So that's an action items or acceptance of the audit recommendations to the town council for their acceptance. And we've done that in the recommendation to the town council to engage them to conduct the town of Henry's audit for FY 2020, which seems to me to be logical. So we voted it for 2019. That was the year-end audit for FY 2019. Oh, oh. OK. Did I just make the wrong motion? Sonya was asking for the end of the FY 2019 audit. Yeah. And so engaging an auditor. Question. It says we were engaging an engagement letter for the firm to put us on the calendar for October. What will be involved that involves the town council and this subcommittee in October? So then the next question is how involved should the process be and what do we need to do in order to come up with a better process for the next year? Do you have recommendations that you want to share with us? I would suggest in a similar vein that we look for the 20 auditor to be a different firm just for the demarcation of now it's the town council, a new charter, new everything, and relatively new town manager. So that's just my recommendation. We at least look into it. You probably want to just also, probably Melanson Heath will also bid. And you want to look at everything from their recommendations, possibly talk to other companies or towns that have used them. And we may be able to pick up somebody from out of the region, but then you're going to look at the comparison of cost. Yeah, that's interesting. Do they then recommend to the council? They would. You recommend your choice to the council. Keep turning it off. Just to clarify that last process. So this process of bids means that we have to come up with at least two or three different firms. OK, so there's no way we just stick with one. So we get several, and then we go through the qualifications and the price so that we have competing bids. When would we want to start the RFP process? Would that be like October, November? September, October? That leads me to another question. I am confused about the length of any of the committee appointments. And they may not all be the same. They may have different starting and ending points, or they may all have the similar ending point. July has been mentioned for the end or beginning of something. When does this committee finish its term, its one year term? That's a very good question. According to the charter, standing committees are only for one year, but the problem is all of our standing committees have been appointed at different times, except for the first ones. So let me think about it, but my initial thought is that sometime in December, we would throw them all back up again and say, anybody want to change? I think we have to do it at once, because otherwise, because people may say, I want to go off this one, but I'd like to go on this one. Because for this committee, we can choose another time. We would want to finish the bid process. Absolutely. And there has been one of the suggestions Andy made, who is the only counselor that has had experience with town audits, is that he thinks it's actually a good idea if the audit committee changes every year, because it's an opportunity to learn about the town finances. Now Paul's sitting there going, oh, yeah. It's a very good point, because our elections, I guess, are January. January? OK. Technically, the president. Technically, the president has the opportunity to change standing committees. So is there anything else that we need to do that we can figure out? Right, 26th of April, got it. All those in favor? That's unanimous. The only, oh no, there was two unanimous votes.
