Board rejects motion to ask local prosecutor to investigate maintenance department
Summary
A motion to request the local prosecuting attorney investigate the district maintenance department and related financial transactions failed after a roll-call of board members.
A board motion asking the local prosecuting attorney to investigate the district—s maintenance department and any related financial transactions was proposed during new-business debate and failed on a board vote.
A board member moved that the local prosecuting attorney be asked to investigate the maintenance department and any current or former staff. The motion was seconded, discussed briefly and then put to a roll-call-style sequence of individual yes/no responses by board members. After the sequence, the chair announced, "No's have it," and the motion did not pass.
Board members discussed the issue during the meeting; one member noted the legislative audit committee was set to consider the same matter the following Thursday and observed that legislative audit and local prosecuting offices can investigate concurrently.
The motion appears on the record as failed; the board did not direct any further immediate action related to the maintenance department at that meeting.
