Flagler County commissioners asked legal staff to review the county's contract with the Flagler Humane Society and to bring options for oversight or alternate models after board members described troubling reports and rising public concern about shelter operations.

The school board approved a resolution directing an independent review of contracts executed since March 21, 2024 and instituting a temporary dual-signature requirement (superintendent plus deputy superintendent) for district contracts until July 31, 2027, citing operational accountability.

Board members raised concerns that the district appears to be paying more under its solar PPA for the high school and middle school and asked administration and counsel to review procurement and contract terms; counsel recommended holding contested bills until the administration provides a report.

Trumbull County commissioners debated whether to authorize payment beyond a previously cited $10,000 cap for outside counsel after the county passed a later resolution that omitted the cap. Prosecutor Phil Danzo advised caution, and commissioners discussed tabling, reviewing signed contracts or settling to avoid litigation.

A NSW parliamentary inquiry has condemned Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service for fostering a wilful disregard for safety, systemic sexism, bullying, and harassment, threatening its $500 million taxpayer-funded contract. The bipartisan committee found the service's failures to be 'inexcusable' in a high-risk healthcare environment, citing whistleblower allegations of a 'culture of fear' that endangered staff and patients. Investigations revealed backdated training certificates, non-disclosure agreements silencing dissent, and incidents like Borat-style mankinis being thrown at women's desks. Staff reported being overlooked for promotions in favour of senior staff's friends, with one whistleblower claiming 'the books were cooked.' The inquiry criticized Westpac Rescue's internal review as lacking independence and demanded an unredacted report. NSW Ambulance argues it cannot investigate the private operator, while Health Minister Ryan Park insists on transparency. The contract, set to expire in May, faces potential termination unless safety standards are met. The inquiry also highlighted failures in private-public healthcare partnerships, urging the government to secure alternative providers.

Procurement staff recommended an RFI to survey the custodial market and an RFP for substitute‑teacher services; staff warned transitions could take 6–12 months and urged performance KPIs and clear procurement language to prevent vendor capture.
