Committee amends procurement-audit resolution, raises minimum audits for vendor pools to three annually

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY

At a Miami-Dade County Government Efficiency & Transparency Committee meeting, commissioners approved sponsor amendments to a procurement-related resolution that increase the commission auditor's minimum reviews of vendor/prequalification pools and set a timeline for the first required status report.

The committee accepted an amendment from Commissioner Rebeca Sosa Regalado to item 2e clarifying that subsequent status reports called for in section 4 of the resolution "shall initially be provided within 365 days of the effective date of the resolution, and then every year thereafter." Regalado also moved an amendment to item 2f that changes the minimum number of commission-auditor reviews of prequalification pulls from "no less than 1 review per fiscal year" to "no less than 3 reviews per fiscal year," and that requires the commission auditor to disclose to the board within 30 days of the resolution how many reviews it can perform annually, with a floor of three.

The amendments were introduced during the agenda-setting portion of the meeting and carried forward with no recorded objection; the chair noted the record should reflect the setting-of-agenda approvals were unanimous by voice vote.
