1/25/2011 Item 12.A.
Executive Summary
Recommendation to amend the Interlocal Agreement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court to Include
audit services in the defined scope of services to be provided and to provide funding for these
services for the remainder of FY11 in the amount of $263,300.
OBJECTIVE:
To amend the Interlocal Agreement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court to include audit services in
the defined scope of services and to obtain funding for the audit department.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 27, 2010, the Board and the Clerk entered into an Interlocal
agreement for services. $394,950 had been removed from the originally submitted Inter/ocal
Agreement based upon discussions with the County Manager regarding litigation. The DCA had
ruled in favor of the Clerk's audit authority on September 23, 2009, however the County had
pursued a Supreme Court Ruling that was pending. The signed agreement did not include services
or funding for the audit function of the Clerk due to pending litigation regarding the Clerk's ability
to audit. On November 10, 2010 the Supreme Court of Florida reaffirmed the right of the Clerk of
Courts to audit County funds.
FISCAL IMPACT: Additional funds are requested for the period February 1 through September 30,
2011 in the amount of $263,300. This is a prorated amount for services as outlined in Amendment
One (attached) to the Interlocal agreement and contemplates 4 FTE's as previously existed. Full
funding, pursuant to terms of the agreement for fiscal year 2012 will be submitted as part of the
Clerk's information provided to the Board on May 1, 2011. Funds are available from
$1,393,543.42 returned to the Board by the Clerk for FY2010.
lEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action and requires a simple
majority approval. - JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board authorize the Chairman to sign Amendment One to the
Inter/ocal Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and the Clerk of the Circuit
Court for Collier County, Florida, and approve a budget amendment in the amount of $263,300
for funding of audit services.
