Oxnard-- The Finance and Governance Committee, Nov 10, recommend that the Oxnard City Council approve a $25,000 contract for on-call internal auditing services with Vasquez & Company LLP. Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima presented the item to the
committee, and she noted that city management recommended they needed a comprehensive internal auditing contact. “At this time, we don’t have the funding for that,” she said. “We’re going ahead, just until the end of 2021, with a contract for oncall internal auditing services for $25,000. At some time in 2021, we can revisit this concept of a comprehensive internal auditing
program.” She acknowledged the agreement was late, but they reviewed “a lot of proposals and conducted a couple of interviews.” “We wanted to give them the time, but this will not be late coming to council,” she said. “With your approval, this will go to the council next week.” n On-call, see page 7
