TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to amend Contract No. 33203 with KPMG LLP, of Irvine, CA, for annual audit services, to increase the contract amount by $978,625, for a revised contract amount not to exceed $10,110,101 and extend the term of the contract to June 30, 2024.
