Brighton City Council has selected eight Brighton water customers to serve on a committee to help select an independent firm to conduct a forensic audit of the City’s Utilities funds dating back to 2008. City Council members selected two water customers from their respective ward to serve on this committee. The committee members include: Rodney Rexwinkle and Kevin Wieland for ward 1; Jim Snyder and Tiffany Teller for ward 2; Brian Engle and Tracie Morris for ward 3; and James Tuggle and Judi Hulvey for ward 4. 

The committee will work together to review submittals received for the city’s Request for Proposal (RFP) for an independent firm to conduct a forensic audit and, subsequently, make a recommendation to City Council. The committee’s first meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 3. 

On July 2, City Council voted to authorize city staff to pursue hiring an outside, independent firm to conduct a forensic audit of the Utilities funds. For questions concerning the forensic audit, please contact Interim Finance Director Maria Ostrom at 303-655-2130 or mostrom@brightonco.gov.
