Audit finds $53,000 in missed unemployment payments; commissioners direct reinstatement of employer deduction
Summary
Staff reported the 2024 audit identified about $53,000 in missed unemployment payments; commissioners directed Finance to reinstate an employer-side deduction (noted in the transcript as "O.loh") and asked staff to formalize that direction with a resolution on an upcoming agenda.
Andrew Yoder, a county staff member, briefed the BOCC on the unemployment fund, saying the 2024 Accountability Audit identified approximately $53,000 in missed payments. Yoder told commissioners the existing fund balance can absorb that amount.
Following the audit summary, the board directed Finance to reinstitute the employer-side deduction identified in the transcript as "O.loh." The board asked staff to prepare a resolution to formalize that direction for consideration at a future meeting; no formal resolution was adopted during the Feb. 19 study session.
The BOCC's action was directional: staff were told to bring back the formal resolution and implementing documentation for the board's review before any change is implemented.
