Taylor County approves audit contract, hears engineering RFQs and small HHRP change orders
Summary
At its Jan. 5 meeting the Taylor County commission approved awarding auditing services to James Moore & Company, reviewed engineering qualifications for continuing contracts, and approved two small HHRP change orders for homeowner repairs totaling modest amounts.
Taylor County commissioners voted Jan. 5 to award professional auditing and accounting services to James Moore & Company after the auditor selection committee ranked proposals and recommended the firm. County staff said the board will execute an engagement letter now and return later with a full contract for signature; a representative named Kendrick was present for questions.
During the same agenda block, staff introduced statements of qualifications for continuing county engineering services; the submissions included North Florida Professional Services Inc. (Lake City) and a second firm led by John Lleier of Live Oak. Staff advised the board that the county prefers to maintain contracts with two firms to avoid conflicts on ongoing projects and to allow task orders to be issued as needs arise.
The board also approved two HHRP program change orders presented by staff: $1,588 for work at the home of Kathy Miller and $2,367 for work at the home of Joy Le. Staff said there are sufficient HHRP funds to cover both changes and that these approvals will not interfere with other housing projects.
Motions to award the audit bid and to approve the HHRP change orders were made and seconded during the meeting; the transcript records the motions as approved but does not include detailed vote tallies. Staff said they will return with a finalized audit contract for execution.
