Audit 11/12/25

The Wayne County Commission held an audit meeting on November 12, 2025, focusing primarily on contract management and procurement oversight issues. A key discussion centered on a revenue-generating contract for executive protection services that had expired without a formal renewal, despite payments continuing during the lapse. The commission addressed the outstanding payment of $9,447 related to this contract and discussed the need for improved contract tracking and management processes. The current contract management system (TCM) was noted to lack adequate alerts for expiring revenue contracts, and there was uncertainty about whether the new Oracle system would provide better contract oversight. The commission emphasized the importance of centralized contract documentation and standard operating procedures to prevent future lapses. A motion to receive and file the audit report was passed unanimously. Additionally, the meeting included a brief introduction of a new Office of Auditor General team member.
