Welcome

I
will
have
roll
call.
B
I
will
now
go
through

introduce
all
committee
members
who
are
present
are
participating.
Virtually
we
have
amy
kemp
our

We
have
susan
darnell,
we
have
andrew
emery
and
gwen
whistler
and

I
am
scott
powell,
please

sure
to
mute
your

if
you

not
speaking

unmuted
unmute
your
microphone,
please
remember
to
mute
your
phone
after
you
are
done
speaking
committee
members,
as
I've
already
called
your
name.
Please
just
say
a
quick
hello.
B
D
B
So
I
guess
we
will
start
with
our
committee
agenda
items
correct
patricia.
B
I
think
those
minutes
were
out
on
our
website
as
well,
as
all
members
have
had
those
minutes,
so
I
would
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
amendment.
The
minutes
as
presented.
B
All
in
favor
a
signal
by
hand
or
do
we
need
to
say
each
one
has
to
communicate.
A
B
F
Yeah
well
thanks
chairman
powell,
good
afternoon
good
afternoon,
good
afternoon,
committee,
members,
tony
mcdowell,
city,
finance,
department
and
yeah.
The
my
agenda
item
is
an
update
on
the
audit,
but
I'm
actually
going
to
start
with
an
introduction
and
I'm
using
air
quotes
here
and
an
introduction
to
a
new
staff.
Member
and
the
reason
I'm
using
air
quotes
is
because
it's
not
really
a
new
staff
member.
It's
someone
who
was
with
us
previously
in
a
different
role.
F
She
left
us
for
about
a
year
but
she's
back
with
us
now
as
of
last
monday,
and
it's
becky,
king
and
I'll.
Let
becky
introduce
herself
here
in
a
moment,
but
becky
is
our
new
assistant
finance
director
and
she
will
be
the
lead
person
on
the
audit
from
the
finance
department
side,
she's,
going
to
be
supervising
the
treasury
and
financial
operations
section
of
accounting
and
also
the
financial
reporting
section
of
accounting
as
well.
D
Thanks
tony
good
afternoon,
this
is
becky
king
assistant
finance,
director.
So,
as
tony
said,
I
actually
worked
for
the
city
of
asheville
for
about
four
four
years
prior,
I
started
as
an
accountant
and
then
held
the
role
of
controller
I
did
leave
for
a
year.
I
actually
went
to
work
for
buncombe
county
as
their
accounting
and
reporting
manager,
and
now
I
am
back
and
I'm
super
happy
to
be
back
and
working
with
the
finance
department.
D
So
an
update
on
audit,
like
tony
mentioned,
I
am
on
I
think,
day
seven,
so
I
am
trying
to
get
caught
up
on
everything
audit
related,
but
where
we
are
right
now,
the
big
thing
that
we're
trying
to
do
right
now
is
we
are
closing
the
year
in
our
financial
software.
That
will
actually
happen
tomorrow
evening.
After
close
we've
done
some
testing
this
week.
Everything
seems
good,
so
we
are
on
schedule
to
do
that.
D
Once
that
is
completed,
we'll
really
be
able
to
do
our
reconciliations
and
work
on
the
work
papers.
For
the
auditors,
we
have
a
couple
of
outstanding
items
from
preliminary
field,
work
that
I
we
will
be
getting
to
them.
The
end
of
this
week,
beginning
of
next
week,
and
then
we
do
have
a
pbc
list
for
final
field
work.
So
we
are
starting
to
just
go
down
the
list
of
things.
The
auditors
will
be
on
site
the
weeks
of
september
20th
and
27th.
D
We
are
aiming
to
get
a
trial
balance
to
them
the
first
part
of
september.
That
is
my
goal.
I
have
spoken
with
the
auditors
about
some
of
the
findings
and
issues
that
we
had.
Last
year,
we've
talked
through
some
of
our
pain
points
that
we
had
and
I
will
be
keeping
a
very
close
eye
on
those
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
don't
have
them
again.
D
This
year
we
are
still
working
with
jps
they're
kind
of
doing
some
consulting
for
us
just
to
kind
of
help
us
through
some
of
those
pain
points,
and
we
have
hired
a
temp
employee
to
help
with
workload
on
both
the
treasury
and
operation
side
and
the
financial
reporting.
D
As
most
of
you
probably
understand,
there
are
a
lot
of
hurdles
to
jump
before
then,
but
that
is
my
goal
and
we
will
stick
to
that
as
best
as
we
can
and
of
course,
if
anything
differs,
we
will
always
give
you
guys
updates
so,
but
and
the
auditors
are
on
track,
you
know
I've
had
like.
I
said
I
had
a
conversation
with
them
and
they
don't
see
any
reason
that
we
cannot
meet
our
october
31st
deadline
either.
So
any
questions.
B
Well,
thank
you
tony
and
becky
and
becky
glad
you're
back
on
board.
Again,
hopefully,
that'll
be
a
long
relationship,
and
this
ought
to
get
through
this
year's
audit,
as
well
as
future
audits
to
come.
Thank.
D
B
A
Yes,
thank
you
scott.
So
I
had
mentioned
in
our
last
audit
committee
meeting
that
we
are
working
through
the
findings
from
the
contracts
management
audit
that
was
performed
mostly
in
fy,
19
and
20..
A
So
we've
implemented
changes
for
our
contract,
close
out
procedures
and
we're
now
working
through
change
orders,
which
was
a
major
finding
in
that
audit,
and
we
are
outlining
the
different
types
of
change
orders
when
they
apply
and
trying
to
provide
clear
standards
and
procedures
so
that
it
becomes
standardized
across
the
city,
which
was,
I
think,
one
of
the
one
of
the
key
elements
of
the
finding
in
the
audit.
A
So
I
expect
that,
as
part
of
the
pro
as
part
of
that
process
of
outlining
the
procedures,
we're
really
walking
through
the
contracts
process
from
start
to
finish
so,
starting
with
the
contracts
and
procurement
policy
which
frank
is
going
to
talk
about
here
in
a
minute
and
then
getting
us
all
the
way
through
closeout,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
where
or
where,
where
we
are
maybe
lacking
some
some
standards.
A
And
we
know
that
different
departments
have
different
forms
and
documents
that
they
use
for
for
change,
order
procedures
and
so
we're
looking
to
standardize
those.
So
comparing
departments,
departments
figuring
out
what
is
what
our
best
practices
are
and
so
we're
working
through
that
it
will
probably
we're
likely
looking
at
a
several
month,
long
project
to
get
that
outlined
and
then
we'll
start
pushing
that
out
to
the
city.
B
All
right
so
patricia.
B
Do
you
think
after
you
go
through
that
you
said
you
know
a
couple
months
process
and
going
through
that
that
you
can
just
update
us
as
to
you
know
where
we
stand
in
that
and
what
what?
What
the
best
practices
inside
the
city
is
in
relation
to
addressing
the
the
change
orders
and
and
how
y'all
got
to
work
collaboratively
to
address
the
issues
that
that
particular
finding.
A
B
Our
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
procurement
purchasing
and
contracting
policy,
and,
I
think,
frank
mcgowan.
Hopefully
I
stated
his
name
correctly
from
finance
and
strategic
services,
who
is
the
finance
and
strategic
services
manager?
Frank?
B
G
G
The
her
I
supervised
the
purchasing
manager
and
and
subsequently
the
purchasing
division
within
finance
and
the
one
piece
you
may
not
be
aware
of
is
within
our
community
and
economic
development
department.
We
have
a
asheville
business
inclusion
office,
the
asheville
business
inclusion
office
developed
a
actual
business
inclusion
policy
which
speaks
to
how
we
do
outreach
to
minority
and
women
owned
businesses,
and
that
policy
was
adopted
was
presented
and
adopted
by
council
in
the
previous
fiscal
year.
G
G
We
needed
to
make
updates
to
the
purchasing
and
contracting
policy
to
support
the
abi
policy.
So
there
were
specific
items
in
terms
of
outreach,
number
of
required
quotes
or
bids
that
sort
of
thing
that
needed
to
be
reviewed
and
updated.
The
purchasing
and
contracting
policy
had
last
been
updated
in
20.
G
G
G
The
other
things
that
were
included
in
the
policy
was
just
making
sure
that
we're
consistent
with
state
federal
and
other
city
policies,
obviously
promoting
competitive
procurement
across
the
board
and,
as
I
mentioned,
supporting
the
implementation
of
the
of
the
business
inclusion
policy.
G
So
we
simply
wanted
to
make
you
aware
that
these
that
this
policy
had
been
updated
and
unless
there
are
any
questions
that
that's
really
all.
I
have.
B
So
frank:
what
did
the
business
inclusion
that
was
per
that
was
approved
by
the
board?
How
did
that
impact
the
policy?
You
know
a
50
000
foot
level.
G
So
some
of
the
items
that
were
updated
previously,
you
were
only
required
to
get
two
two
bids
or
quotes
on
particular
on
particular
procurements.
G
G
B
Well,
seeing
now
the
last
item
on
our
agenda,
or
not
the
last
but
second
to
the
last,
is
the
audit
committee
secretary
election
amy
has
been
doing
a
wonderful
job
as
our
secretary
since
its
inception,
I
think
she
has
communicated
that
she
would
like
to
take
a
more
active
role
and
and
doing
minutes,
and
especially
during
minutes
in
in
today's
environment,
is,
is
a
little
difficult
and
we
would
like
to
have
someone
else
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
take
over
that
role
as
a
secretary.
C
Well,
thanks
for
doing
it,
susan,
I
just
my
mind,
is
so
fractured
a
lot
of
times
when
I'm
trying
to
take
the
minutes
and
listen
and
I
feel,
like
you
know,
I'd
like
to
take
a
break
and
just
participate.
So
thank
you
very
much
sure.
B
So
I
would
take
it
now.
We
need
to
do
a
roll
call
vote
as
to
the
nominations.
Second,
for
susan
darnell
to
be
our
secretary
elect
so
gwen
whistler,
hi,
hi,
amy,
kemp,.
C
F
B
And
now
the
last
item
is
an
informal
discussion
or
future
meeting
agendas.
So
at
this
time
patricia,
I
know
we
have
our
meeting
in
november.
Is
there
anything
else?
The
committee
would
like
to
see
in
future
meetings
as
far
as
added
to
the
agenda
or
something
that
we
could
look
at
to
probably
age
you,
as
internal
auditor,.
A
A
We
have
in
the
past,
with
the
only
exception
being
last
year
because
of
the
virtual
nature,
and
I
think
at
the
time
the
council
committees
were
being
reshuffled
and
finance
wasn't
fully
formed,
but
we'll
look
to
invite
them
again.
E
Great,
I
would
just
like
to
propose
that
so
that
the
auditors
don't
have
to
go
through
the
same
thing
twice.
If
we
can
and
the
the
finance
committee
has
locked
and
loaded
on
a
a
time
and
date.
So
maybe
for
the
november
meeting
we
can
have
a
joint
meeting.
A
Okay,
yes
I'll
coordinate
with
oh,
is
beth
beagle
still
the
admin
for
the
finance
committee.
E
Well
for
a
while,
sarah
gross
should
be
able
to
help
you
out
with.
E
Yet,
just
if
you
have
any
updates
on
the
purchasing,
but
I
mean
that
should
be
just
pretty
quickly
and
and
scott,
can
I
ask
another
question:
do
we
not
normally
open
it
up
for
public
comment?
I
can't
remember.
E
A
We
have
not
been
taking
public
comment
at
these
meetings,
we've
been
opening
up,
people
can
comment
prior
and
we
didn't
receive
anything.
B
Well,
thank
you,
patricia
and
and
all
the
staff
over
at
city
of
asheville
for
all
the
hard
work
and
and
all
the
committee
members
for
a
wonderful
meeting
today.
I
guess
at
this
point
in
time
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting.
B
B
Y'all
have
a
wonderful
day
and
try
to
stay
dry
today
I
know
two
days
ago
probably
a
few
of
us
was
under
water.
I
know
I
had
a
good
three
inches
rolling
down
the
street
and
a
half
an
inch
in
the
basement
so
good
times.
