At the February meeting of the Dade County Board of Commissioners; a representative of Henderson, Hutchison, and McCullough gave a lengthy presentation regarding the recent audit her company was hired to conduct.

The major findings were a 59% increase in county assets, a 17% in revenue, and only a 21% in expenditure— due to the county’s previous success, the overall revenue was positive.

Commissioner Lamar Lowery asked that the Commission table the Wayside Lane project, prepared and requested by the Dade County Water & Sewer Authority; as he felt the matter was “rushed” and “hadn’t been done due diligence.” The remainder of the commission agreed and the resolution was tabled.
The Commission adjourned to an executive session pertaining to real estate for roughly thirty minutes before adjournment. No votes were called for when they returned.
