2.1 GLSC & Company, PLLC
Pablo Llerena, CPA and Wilbert Santos, Senior Manager, gave a presentation, a copy of which is

Vice-Mayor Jones asked who with the firm would be directly involved and if interns would be
utilized.
Mr. Llerena said Mr. Santos and Sherri Walker, CPA, and he would be involved with the City
audit and any additional staff would not be interns.
In response to Vice-Mayor Jones' questions, Mr. Llerena and Mr. Santos explained the firm's
available manpower to meet the needs of their clients relative to the CAFR and GASB 67 & 68.
2.2 Harvey, Covington&Thomas of South Florida, LLC
Roderick Harvey, CPA, CVA, introduced Adam Segal, CPA, CFE, FCCA, Lewis Chazan, MBA,
JD, and Dana Pollitt, Governmental Affairs, and he and Mr. Segal gave a presentation, a copy of
which is attached to and incorporated in these minutes.
In response to Commissioner Grace's questions, Mr. Harvey said the firm has not had any
improprieties, summer interns would not work on the engagement, and the principals would be
available whenever needed.
Responding to Commissioner Brandimarte s questions, Mr. Harvey said the firm has performed
35-40 audits per year for the last 13-14 years and they have never been in litigation with any
clients.
In response to Vice-Mayor Jones, Mr. Harvey noted they will host a training symposium in
Dania Beach regarding changes to the GASB. Mr. Segal addressed workflow and technological
options available, if needed.
2.3 Nowlen Holt& Miner, P.A.
The Commission concurred that if no one from Nowlen Holt & Miner, P.A. shows up during the
workshop, the firm would be eliminated from the list.
2.4 S. Davis & Associates, P.A.
Shaun Davis, CPA, and Tanya Davis, Engagement Partner, gave a presentation, a copy of which
is attached to and incorporated in these minutes.
Responding to Vice-Mayor Jones, Ms. Davis said all auditing firms are trying to understand
GASB, her firm is abreast of all pronouncements coming forward, and they would be available
to help the City implement it. Mr. Davis confirmed the firm has had no criminal or disciplinary
activities.
3. Commission Discussion
Mark Bates, Finance Director, noted the Commission will rank the firms at the next Commission
meeting; how they do the ranking is up to them. He added there is no reason to believe the firms
are not qualified to do the work.
Commissioner Grace recommended that the Commission entertain only the three firms that were
present today and rank them as first, second, and third; the Commission concurred.
