Commission rejects proposed audit contract with The SpyGlass Group
Summary
Benton County commissioners voted down a proposed contract with The SpyGlass Group, LLC to audit county service costs; the roll-call result was recorded as 0 Ayes, 13 No, 5 Absent.
A proposal by County Mayor Mark Ward to contract with The SpyGlass Group, LLC for a service-cost reduction audit failed at the Feb. 18 meeting after a roll‑call vote showed no affirmative votes.
The resolution (20250218-12) sought authority for the mayor to enter into an agreement with the private audit firm to identify potential county service cost reductions. Commissioners debated and voted; the minutes record the motion failing on a 0–13 roll call (with five commissioners absent). No amendment or substitute motion was adopted in its place.
Because the motion failed, the county will not enter into the proposed contract unless it is reintroduced and approved at a future meeting.
