The Dunn County Committee on Administration reviewed two sets of vouchers covering Aug. 1 through Sept. 30 and approved them after staff answered questions about several line items.

Supervisors asked about multiple items, including a line described as 'stop loss' paid to Allegiance, apparent duplicate charges for cell phone and Internet service, charges to Quick Trip listed under 'patrol operating supplies,' and multiple motor-vehicle repair line items to Geotab USA. Finance staff and other county staff explained that Allegiance serves as the county's third-party administrator for health insurance and that stop-loss and claim payments appear on monthly statements; they said amounts vary with membership census. Staff said some duplicate or out-of-sequence invoice entries were being researched and that finance would follow up where a vendor had changed or a bill was entered in error.

On vendor coding and internet charges, staff said WiscNet is the internet provider while a Chippewa-area consortium (listed through a cooperative educational services broker) also appears on bills as a financial broker for a fiber consortium; that listing reflects an interagency membership and not a misapplied charge. Regarding fleet devices, staff explained Geotab provides vehicle telematics devices that produce periodic billing for devices and services.

After the voucher discussion, Supervisor Bachand moved to note/review the vouchers; Supervisor Sheila Story seconded the motion and the committee approved it by voice vote.

Separately, the committee considered a resolution canceling uncashed checks aged more than two years. Corp. Counsel Jim explained that if a payee later presents a canceled check, the county can reissue payment; common claims fall within statutory limitation periods and the office would address valid late claims. Sheila Story moved approval of the check-cancellation resolution; Supervisor Bachand seconded and the committee approved it by voice vote.

Staff said they are working through specific vendor issues identified in the discussion and will return with clarifications as needed.
