Dear Danny:
Thanks for taking the time to talk with 'me a couple of weeks ago to discuss the possibility of extending
our audit contract for two additional years. As discussed on the call we would like to officially request
that the County extend our contract to include the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. If the
County elects to extend this contract CB&H agrees to freeze our audit fee for both years at the current
September 30, 2009 level.
We believe that we have 'had a great working relationship with the County and the Constitutional
Officers. have been responsive to your needs. provided good service. and been an asset to the County
to warrant this extension and lo~k forward to continuing this relationship.
If you haVE' any questions please feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely:
CHERRY. BEKAERT & HOLLAND, L.L.P. ,
