Board approves consent items; audit fee and payment to Ingram's Concrete questioned

The Board accepted the consent agenda on March 19, including the February expenditures report. Supervisor Daphne V. Norton asked about a seemingly substantial $47,000 payment to Robinson Farmer Cox for the county's annual audit; she was told by staff that this is a standard rate for auditing services. Norton also inquired about a payment to Ingram's Concrete Finishing related to bowling alley facilities; Administrator Bowen said the payment was for an improvement (a grease trap pad) identified during negotiations and therefore was appropriate.
