End

PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
No previous Board Action taken.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Government Code section 26909(c)(1) allows a special district to have an annual financial review performed, rather than a yearly audit, providing the district's annual revenues do not exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) and the district's board unanimously requests the annual review.

On January 11, 2026, the Trustees for the Hopland Cemetery District requested that the Board of Supervisors unanimously approve of a yearly financial review in lieu of an annual audit.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not approve resolution, thereby leaving the annual audit requirement in place.
