The board feels like it is good practice to begin doing and taking a look at all our offerings annually as well. Appendix A will need to be created as well. This will be the form that any parties will fill out when there is interest in the addition of any co-oped sports. Many of the surveyed schools do not have a formal policy. |

Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
This cost will total about $30,000. This is not inconsistent with what our current billings have been from Shaw Hull Navarrette over the past couple of years. $10,000 of the $30,000 would be if a single audit is needed. If not needed, that will drop these costs. There is also an engagement letter for fees that will occur for all the initial audit work, reconciliations, and AFR work. Most of these costs are consistent, they are just being more upfront with costs.
