Commissioners authorize Spyglass telecom audit agreement with contingency fee
Summary
The board authorized an agreement with Spyglass to audit two months of county telecommunications billings at no upfront cost; the vendor would take 50% of any recovered overpayments or a first-year savings fee if projected savings are realized.
Commissioners reviewed an audit proposal from Spyglass to examine county telecommunications billings and connections. A county staff speaker said the last audit of telecom systems by this company occurred in 2013 and that Spyglass will review two months of billings at no cost to the county. "If we recover overpayments, they will receive 50% of that as their fee," the staff member explained, and Spyglass would charge a one-year savings fee if they identify future savings.
Commissioner Jerry Wendell moved that the county authorize the agreement and give Carl the authority to sign; the motion was seconded and carried. Commissioners described the arrangement as having no upfront cost and potentially realizing recoveries or ongoing savings as identified by the auditor; specifics of the audit scope beyond two months were not recorded on the public transcript.
