Brown County accepts treasurer's December audit; new administrative hire announced
Brown County commissioners accepted the treasurer's audit report for December and recorded a personnel change in the treasurer's office during the meeting.

The treasurer (unnamed in the transcript) presented the audit outlining beginning and ending balances across 59 accounts, reporting a combined ending balance of $15,957,429.85. The chair moved and a second was recorded to accept the treasurer and auditor's report.

The treasurer also said they had appointed an administrative assistant, hiring Justin Smith, who had served part time in the elections office. The treasurer announced a starting annual salary of $38,000 effective with the second pay period.

Commissioners asked routine questions about whether the report needed to be recorded in full in the minutes; Jordan (the assistant district attorney presenting the SART report earlier) and the treasurer clarified that the fact the report was presented satisfied compliance and that the full SART report need not be reproduced in the minutes.

No roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript for the auditor/treasurer acceptance; the meeting shows the motion was made and seconded and proceeded without further recorded objection.
