Emergency Communications District approves audit contract with Baker Tilly US LLP

The Emergency Communications District adopted Resolution ECD 20 six-one to authorize an agreement with Baker Tilly US LLP for financial and compliance audit services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

The chair introduced the resolution and noted the firm is the same group that has provided audit services previously under a different name and that financial staff recommended the contract. A motion to approve was made from the floor (SEG 256) and the board approved the resolution by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or explicitly name the mover and seconder in a way that uniquely identifies them.

"Make the observation that it's a new name, same company," the chair said, noting prior experience with the firm. Commissioners voiced no objections during the discussion; the chair called for the ayes and the resolution passed.

Why it matters: The agreement secures the district's external financial and compliance audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The resolution was presented as a routine procurement recommended by staff; no amendments or contingency conditions were recorded in the meeting.

Details the transcript does not provide include the contract amount, start date within the fiscal year, and the exact motion authorship; those items were not read into the record during the meeting.
