The Franklin Regional Retirement Board members met on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 to compare evaluation notes and voted to offer the contract to Powers & Sullivan because they not only had the most, relevant experience, but also the second lowest total cost.  The 7-year period will encompass seven annual financial audits (2019 – 2025).

Melanson Heath has been the Board’s auditor since 2007, and the Board greatly appreciates the fine work they have done over the years.
