Mayor Herkner turned the gavel over to Councilman Granger and reported on the meeting with Mr. Uhlenberg which was also attended by City Manager Rolison and City Attorney Currie. After this discussion, it appeared � that the City has been recaiving a very favorable deal, it being apparent that the � auditing firm has been writing off an average of �500 per year for the past several years. The committee feels that due to long experience that the audits have proven valuable to the City and considerable time of the department heads has been saved in the past. The !�"" present increase of �300 appears reasonable in view of t he growth of t he City and the � additional work involved. Col. Louis Weiss again addressed the Council statin� that he had no objections to the Uhlenberg firm but was still of the opinion that other auditing firms should be invited to submit offers. Councilman Granger stated that in his opinion the �ity cou].d do no better due to the long experience of the firm under consideration. Councilman Britschgi stated that the matter should be further considered by the Auditing Committee, it being his opinion that very few firms could qualify. Councilman Britschgi
