County amends audit contract after federal spending exceeds $750,000
Summary
The County Commission approved an amended audit contract for July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025, converting a nonfederal audit to a federal audit and setting the fee at $41,190 after federal expenditures exceeded $750,000, largely from an airport project.
The County Commission approved an amendment to its auditing contract on Aug. 20, 2025, changing the audit scope from a nonfederal audit to a federal single audit for the fiscal year covering July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. The commission voted to set the audit fee at $41,190.
The change was made because the county’s federal expenditures for the fiscal year exceeded $750,000, which the commissioners said was driven mostly by an airport project. A commission member introduced the amendment and a second commissioner supported the motion; the vote passed without a recorded roll-call tally.
Commission discussion focused on the reason for the amendment and the auditor selection. The commission said it had already determined to use Next to CPA Group to perform the audit and that the firm would amend the contract to reflect the federal audit scope.
The commission did not provide a roll-call vote or name the members who moved and seconded the motion in the public record. No additional conditions or implementation dates for the audit were announced at the meeting.
The change means the county will be required to meet federal single-audit reporting and testing standards for the fiscal year in question; the commission did not cite a specific federal regulation by name during the discussion.
The item was introduced during the contracts and agreements portion of the meeting and voted on as part of routine business.
