New Auditor for Freehold Borough

Freehold Borough has a new auditor for 2012.

At the Jan. 17 , all five council members, voted yes to a resolution that named Suplee, Clooney and Company as Freehold Borough’s auditor for 2012. Councilman John Newman was not present at the Jan. 17 meeting.

 “We interviewed a number of firms for this position and they were the ones that were most impressive out of the four we interviewed. We felt that way here in the borough because when Brookdale Community College had its mess, the county hired an independent auditor to audit Brookdale and this was the firm that they hired,” said Councilman George Schnurr. “They come very highly recommended and have a proven track record. They are the type of firm we need here.”

According to the resolution, the Borough's Chief Financial Officer will certify the availability of funds (as it is needed) if the Borough ends up needing Suplee, Clooney and Company's services. The resolution also states that cost of this contract could cost more than $17,500.
