KLC Renews A Contract Despite Audit Conclusion
KENTUCKY...
A newspaper report says an association that represents Kentucky cities renewed a contract without competitive bidding despite an audit recommendation. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Wednesday that the Kentucky League of Cities extended its contract with Collins and Co., an insurance claims company, less than a month after state Auditor Crit Luallen issued the recommendation. The audit was done after stories in the Herald-Leader detailed excessive spending and conflicts of interest in the agency. Member cities pay dues to the league for services including lobbying, financing and insurance. League spokeswoman Terri Johnson said the new contract was signed to include the addition of the Kentucky School Boards Insurance Trust.
