Wakulla commissioners unanimously approve audit contract extension and $84,800 wastewater fee study
Summary
The board approved Amendment No. 2 to a continuing audit services agreement with James Moore & Company and a $84,800 continuing services agreement for a wastewater fee study; both motions passed unanimously and staff will proceed with contracting and the study.
Wakulla County commissioners voted unanimously during their meeting to extend the county's auditing contract and to hire a consultant to review sewer fees.
A staff presenter (speaker 12) told the board the audit committee recommended continuing the contract with James Moore & Company for fiscal years 2026 through 2029 to meet statutory requirements for an annual independent audit. The board moved and seconded the item and approved the amendment without discussion.
Staff also requested approval of a continuing services agreement with Raptillis Financial Consultants to perform a wastewater revenue sufficiency and connection fee review. "The estimated time for this study is 180 days, and the cost of this study is $84,800," the presenter said, adding the study would be supported from the sewer fund. Commissioners approved the agreement unanimously.
Both votes were recorded as passed unanimously in the meeting minutes. No individual vote tallies or roll‑call names are specified in the transcript.
What happens next: Staff will finalize contracts for the audit extension and initiate the 180‑day wastewater fee study; the presenter indicated staff support and recommended approval of both items.
