Scriba urged to tighten purchasing rules after audit
Albany OSC recommends stronger competition and tighter bidding after an audit of about 1.8 million dollars in Scriba purchases from Jan 2015 to Aug 2016. The report says 455,638 dollars across 23 vendors lacked competition and notes a town board member’s prohibited conflict of interest in roughly 2,500 dollars in contracts. Officials dispute the implications, citing professional services exemptions and unfamiliar bidding procedures.
