Oversight committee approves performance audit of sheriff—s office and EMS
Summary
The committee approved a performance and efficiency audit of the sheriff—s office and the county—s EMS to examine staffing models and resource allocation, and asked staff to help scope the RFP under procurement rules.
Greenville County—s Oversight Committee approved a motion to pursue a performance and efficiency audit of the sheriff—s office and the county EMS, directing staff to identify particulars for an RFP such as staffing levels and how assignments are determined.
"What I would be looking for is staffing, how do they staff...Is it geographical? Is it the amount of homes that are being built or is it the amount budgeted?" Speaker 4 said while describing topics the audit should examine.
Speaker 4 moved the audit; Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. Committee members emphasized starting with a focused scope — sheriff—s office plus EMS — rather than attempting numerous simultaneous audits. The chair said the work could inform the next budget cycle.
The county attorney reiterated that an independent auditor selected by the committee would be subject to the county procurement ordinance and that the committee must ensure FOIA and agenda-notice requirements are met when finalizing the scope.
Next steps: staff and administration will draft an RFP with specific audit particulars (staffing models, salary study option, and other metrics) to solicit a third-party firm; the committee will report a recommended contractor and scope to the full county council for approval.
