Residents press supervisors on forensic audit, transparency, data centers and service gaps

During the public-comment period the board heard sustained criticism and requests for transparency from residents and community groups. Speakers urged the board to release supporting invoices and to reconstruct missing financial records the forensic auditor could not obtain; some called for accountability measures tied to any taxpayer-funded reimbursement of supervisors' legal fees. "When you accept a senior position of responsibility, litigation can unfortunately come with it... But there was another side to my experience. I had to answer questions. I had to produce records," one commenter said, pressing the board to require documentation as a condition of reimbursement.
