F.AX(503)6B4-7523 Cost Quote for City of Ashland (and Parks) 2009-2010 Audit Our not-to-exceed fee, including all out-of-pocket expenses, for the 2009-2010 audits is' $43.120. This does not include the single audit fee, which is quoted separately in the table above. This assumes tbe cooperation of the City's (and Parks) staff and thaI the books are closed, balanced and reconciled, and that no unexpected circumstances will be encoun1ered during our audit. The sc4edules we request the City to prepare are those that would normally be required to prepare a good, well documented, hard close at year- end. We anticipate they would not be more tban you are currently producing. We will not exceed the audit fee, even if expenses incurred exceed our estima1e, unless services outside the scope of the engagement are requested. YEAR '. City Parks Audit : Single ". . . '.'

This includes, full preparatiOli of the CAFR's, and the emailing oflead sheets and accoun1 backup before the auditors arrive on site. Rates for Additional Professional Services Pauly, Rogers & Co., P.c. can provide the City with a variety of services in addition to the annual audit. Special reports, projecls, or other work undertaken at the request of the client is billed at the following rates per hour for 2009: Partner $100-$140, Staff Accountant $80-$90, and Clerical $45. At the time of the request, we would make an estimate of the fee to be charged and would seek written approval of that fee. If, in the course of the audit, we determine that work is necessary beyond the original scope of the audit as defined by the City's request for proposals, we would seek approval before proceeding and would provide an es1imate of the additional fees. Such work might include additionally agreed upon procedures, reconcilia1ions, and/or adjustments 'needed to bring financial statements into conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Again, appropria1e approval for. the extra fee would be ob1ained from your. management. We execute a formal "change order" if additional work is ueeded. . In both cases, billings would be issued as the work progresses and bills would be submitted monthly. Sincerely, 1[("" .... '-".' . ..
