Auditing contract with HBK approved; Commissioner McGonigle votes no
Summary
The Board approved a multi‑year auditing services proposal with Hill, Barth & King (HBK) for several county offices; the vote was 2–1 with Commissioner McGonigle dissenting.
Resolution #2026-271 authorized HBK CPAs & Consultants to perform internal audits for multiple county offices with not‑to‑exceed amounts for FY 2025–2027. The motion passed with Commissioners Finley and Coleman voting in favor and Commissioner McGonigle opposed.
The minutes list the scope and caps: internal audits FY 2025 not to exceed $60,000; FY 2026 not to exceed $61,000; FY 2027 not to exceed $62,000 for the listed county units. The board’s roll call shows a 2–1 split: "No‑Mr. McGonigle; Yes‑Mr. Finley; Yes‑Dr. Coleman." Commissioner McGonigle raised concerns during public comment later about outsourcing of audits, but the board proceeded with the contract approval at this meeting.
The minutes do not include detailed briefing materials or the rationale for the caps in the resolution text; the County Controller or audit committee may hold vendor proposals and evaluation details not reproduced in the minutes.
