John Link said that he has a reason to believe there would be substantially more <br />information from an audit, but he would defer to Blackman and Sloop about this. <br />A representative from Blackman and Sloop said that the information they used in the <br />report came from the Sportsplex books and records. She did not look at documentation to <br />substantiate anything. There could be changes in allocations of costs. <br />Commissioner Gordan thinks the results of an audit would provide information that the <br />County needs in order to make the best decision. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about the cost of an audit and it was answered $20,000. <br />Chair Carey said that since they have not done an audit in ten years, that it would have <br />to be reconstructed. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested asking Eaton Vance to take the cost of an audit off the <br />price of the purchase. <br />There was no second to the amendment to the motion. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />b.
