Chair opens advisory group to scope audit RFP on shared sales tax; committee to fast‑track RFP development
Summary
Chair Johnston said she will open an advisory work group to develop the audit RFP related to the shared sales tax intergovernmental agreement amendment adopted earlier. The advisory group will draft scope quickly; the RFP will follow standard county procurement rules and go to the county board when ready.
Chair Johnston announced Aug. 11 that she intends to open an advisory committee — a work group she likened to prior "blue ribbon" panels — to develop and clarify the scope of a request for proposals (RFP) for an audit related to the shared sales tax intergovernmental agreement amendment.
Johnston said all three governing bodies had already approved the audit amendment to the shared sales tax IGA and that the advisory group’s purpose is to improve communication and define the RFP so it answers the questions each governing body has. She said the advisory group would work quickly to create channels of communication; after the RFP is drafted it will follow standard county procurement rules and come before the county board as usual.
No formal vote was recorded to create the advisory group at the Executive Committee meeting; Johnston said the committee chair has the authority to open such an advisory group and will move forward with formation and RFP drafting.
Johnston scheduled the next Executive Committee meeting for Sept. 8, 2025.
