and we are working on two budgets. Comm. Ivey stated that he spent some time in Raleigh and
talked with a lot of people. He relayed the following: Bill 899 passed on yesterday and it goes to
the Governor for his signature. Bill 474 takes us off the moratorium and it passed yesterday, and

Bills. The Governor’s Assistant stated that the Gove

Discussion of Single County Audit
County Manager stated that the commissioners can not vote today due to lack of a quorum but
they could discuss the audit. She stated that it is good practice to bid contracts out every few
years to get the most competitive price. Stating that we have to have a private firm to conduct the
Audit and we have been with this firm for the last 4-5 years. One of the faults is timeliness, but
some of the fault belongs to us. What has helped this year was having a Finance Director from
another county and he was questioning some of the things the auditors were asking us to do.
They may ask for a report from MUNIS and then want us to work on it in excel for them. She
has reached out to the LGC on what we were asked to do as well. It’s just a good time to bid out
for the single county audit. Vice Chair O”Neal stated that this is good competition, maybe do
bids in a 1-3 year cycle and this is just good business. He asked if there were specific
stipulations in the contracts or just fo
