City Council Approves Nicholas, Collie, and Associates for Fiscal Year 2026 Independent Audit Services
The city council considered proposals for independent audit services for fiscal year 2026. The CFO recommended Nicholas and Collie and Associates based on qualifications, responsiveness, preparation, and overall value. The council voted to approve authorizing the mayor to execute an engagement letter with Nicholas, Collie, and Associates for $48,000. This firm was chosen over Maldens and Jenkins because they could begin on July 6th, while Maldens and Jenkins could not start until September.
Council Discusses Downtown Equipment Needs, Mosquito Control, and Small Business Support Initiatives
Councilman Burden (District 3) requested renewed consideration for a man lift for downtown events, citing its utility for crowd oversight and enhancing the city's image. He also inquired about the city's practice of spraying for mosquitoes, drawing a parallel to issues faced in Savannah, and suggested looking into tree management. Councilwoman Hignus was recognized for her recent training initiative that helped approximately 25-40 citizens trademark their brands, get certified to start businesses, and navigate Georgia's procurement systems for bids. The Mayor and other council members attended this training.
