In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the financial accountability of Grama County following an audit that revealed potential mismanagement of restricted funds. The conversation centered on the necessity for the county to repay improperly used funds, with officials emphasizing the importance of restoring these funds to their original state.

The dialogue highlighted a figure of $4 million in dispute, although specific details regarding the audit's findings were not disclosed. Officials confirmed that Grama County had not yet responded adequately to the audit, prompting a 60-day notice for corrective action. Until compliance is achieved, the county's tax funds are being withheld.

Mr. Adler and Mr. Walker, virtual participants in the meeting, confirmed that some funds had already been transferred in response to previous audit issues, although they clarified that the 60-day hold was also related to a late annual report submission by Grama County. They assured the committee that efforts to achieve compliance are ongoing, particularly as the county enters its budgeting season.

The meeting concluded without public comments, but officials expressed a commitment to resolving the financial discrepancies and ensuring proper management of funds moving forward.
