Re: Non -Audit Services Agreement
By and Between Olness and Associates, PC and the City of Laurel
Dear Olness and Associates:
On behalf of the City of Laurel, we are engaging the services of Olness and Associates, PC
(hereinafter "Olness") to assist with the Clerk -Treasurer transition by and between the former
Clerk -Treasurer and the Acting Clerk -Treasurer. We understand that, as part of the services
provided by Olness, Olness will bill the City of Laurel on an hourly professional basis at $175.00
per hour, to be invoiced on a monthly basis, until services are hereinafter discontinued.
As part of the transitional professional services provided by Olness, the City understands that
Olness will work directly with City Staff in the Finance Department of the City of Laurel to effect
training, assist with providing guidance regarding cash and monthly reconciliations, consult on
budget processes, and provide direction regarding processes and procedures previously unknown
to the Acting Clerk -Treasurer.
The City agrees and understands that Olness will not engage in posting any transactions directly to
the City's accounting records, as these will be handled by the Clerk -Treasurer. The City also
agrees and understands that the City of Laurel will be fully responsible for ensuring the accuracy
and reliability of any non -audit services through the City's normal review and approval processes.
Olness is providing its non -audit services solely on a consultation basis, to assist in training and
guidance for City staff during the transition in the Clerk -Treasurer position.
With Best Regards,
II ae, t,�_
Dave Waggoner
City of Laurel Mayor
