Larry Burger, Clerk/Auditor, requested that the Finance Committee
authorize him to enter into an agreement with Carney, Alexander,
Marold and Company to perform the City's Audit for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1986 and also to approve an audit proposal for
Interstate Substitution Projects through June 30, 1986. He reported
that the City will now be required to comply with the Single Audit
Compliance Act of 1984 and that Carney is familiar with this
requirement. Carney has performed under contract the City's Audit
for the past three years. This contract would be merely an extension
of this agreement. Bidding procedures are not mandatory for
professional services such as this. It was moved by Seeber, seconded
by Miller that the firm of Carney, Alexander, Marold and Company be
employed to perform the FY86 Audit of the City of Waterloo and the

of the new highway construction projects. It was moved by Miller,
seconded by Seeber that this line item adjustment be authorized.

Plant to replace a roof on a blower building at the plant was
