RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH THE ACCOUNTING FIRM
OF CALDERON, JAHAM & OSBORN (CJO) TO PROVIDE
AUDITING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Section 1017 of the Chula Vista Charter requires an annual independent
audit of the City and the current three-year agreement with Moreland & Associates terminated
with completion of the June 30, 1997 audit report; and
WHEREAS, a Request for Proposals to provide auditing services for the City,
Redevelopment Agency, and Bayfront Conservancy Trust was sent to 20 auditing firms; and
WHEREAS, six proposals were received and evaluated by a Selection Committee
appointed by the City Manager composed of the Director of Finance, the Senior Accountant,
and the Principal Revenue Analyst; and
WHEREAS, the top two rated firms, CJO and Caporicci & Larson, who were rated
significantly higher than any of the other firms, were then interviewed by the Selection
Committee; and
WHEREAS, both finalists were rated very highly in all areas, and were also the most
reasonably priced, with Caporicci & Larson at $37,800 and CJO at $38,500; and
WHEREAS, following this process, the Committee performed extensive reference
checks and finally unanimously agreed to recommend the selection of CJO to the City Council
based on the fact that the committee felt that the references for CJO were better overall than
those for the other firm, and that CJO would be more in tune with local issues and be more
accessible having an office in San Diego as opposed to the other firm located in Irvine.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby approve the Agreement with the accounting firm of Calderon, Jaham & Osborn to
provide auditing services for fiscal years 1997-98, 1998-99, and 1999-00, with a option to
extend for two additional years, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the office of the City
Clerk as Document No. CO98-072.
