Auditor and treasurer report operational updates; county posts DPW auction and overtime runs about $30,000 monthly
Summary
County auditor reported improvement in claims auditing and that a DPW auction of 31 lots will be posted soon; treasurer/assessor staff said deed counts are down and a 21,000‑sheet tax‑map scanning project is underway. Payroll reported roughly $30,000 per month difference in overtime calculations.
County staff delivered routine operational updates at the meeting.
Angela, speaking for county auditing operations, said the office is handling a five‑business‑day lag for general mail and continues to struggle with a high volume of daycare vouchers; she gave an example that one recent day brought 250 vouchers for auditing. Angela thanked the board for approving a new position and said the office is monitoring about 12,760 individuals or entities in its exclusion/vendor‑creation process. She also said the county’s DPW auction is nearly ready to go live with 31 lots and that asset reporting and vendor contract documents were recently submitted to auditors.
Chris reported that deed counts remain down from last year while subdivision activity is steady. He said the county’s tax‑map scanning project is underway, with about 21,000 sheets expected to be scanned in total; staff sent roughly 7,000 sheets out and said internal verification would be substantial once scans are returned. Chris also said he completed required annual training and that tentative rolls are out; grievance‑day timing varies by municipality, though it is typically in May.
Payroll/finance staff member Michelle presented overtime-related figures: for March, the difference between time‑and‑a‑half and double overtime across two pay periods was $31,453.81; for April, the difference was $30,031.18 — about $30,000 per month.
Ending: Staff urged departments and the public to watch for the DPW auction notice when published and said ongoing scanning and verification work on tax maps will continue in the coming weeks.
