Budget committee approves hiring a CPA to monitor budget process
Summary
Houston County budget committee members voted to engage a CPA to assist with the budget process after a motion and discussion about timing and fiscal constraints; the motion passed by hand vote.
Members of the Houston County budget committee voted to engage a certified public accountant to monitor and assist with the county budget process.
During discussion, members debated the timing and cost of bringing in outside accounting support, with one member urging caution about spending before the committee sees the full budget. After a motion to hire a CPA was made and seconded, the chair put the question to members; the rapport indicated hands or voices in favor and the speaker concluded, "Okay, motion pass."
No formal roll-call vote or dollar amount for the CPA engagement was recorded in the transcript; members said they would review budget numbers at upcoming sessions and the committee scheduled additional meetings beginning March 24 at 6 p.m. The committee then moved to adjourn.
The committee did not record a detailed contract, scope of work, or timeline for the CPA engagement in the transcript; those details will need to be clarified in subsequent meetings.
