Board authorizes DEQ grant submission and approves $6,000 audit support contract with Robert Half
Summary
The board authorized staff to submit a DEQ non‑competitive letter grant (average award cited as roughly $80,000) for hazardous‑waste recycling and approved a one‑year, $6,000 engagement with Robert Half/McGladrey to complete the FY2025 cost‑allocation plan.
The Northumberland County Board of Supervisors on June 18 authorized county staff to submit a FY2027 DEQ non‑competitive letter grant application and approved a one‑year contract with Robert Half of McGladrey to complete the county’s FY2025 cost‑allocation plan at a cost of $6,000.
Grant authorization: the board authorized submission of the DEQ grant application (authorization only; no award acceptance or local match was approved at the meeting). A staff member said the DEQ award amount varies with county refuse tonnage and cited a recent average of about $80,000; the county typically uses those funds for hazardous‑waste recycling efforts. "The amount is calculated on...each ton of garbage that comes out around the county," county staff explained.
Audit and cost‑allocation contract: the board reviewed a proposal from Robert Half of McGladrey to complete the cost‑allocation plan for FY2025. Staff recommended approving a one‑year engagement at $6,000 rather than a multi‑year contract (three years for $15,000 was offered). A motion to proceed on an annual basis was approved by the board.
Procedure and next steps: the DEQ application must be submitted by the end of the month, according to staff. The contract with Robert Half will be managed through the county’s finance/audit coordination processes.
