Forensic audit RFP still open as sheriff collects bids; county clerk reports unsigned payroll checks
Summary
Commissioners heard that the sheriff is collecting responses to a forensic audit RFP after a publication delay. The county clerk reported unsigned payroll checks occurred during a payroll transition and will provide documents and follow up at the next meeting.
Commissioners were told the forensic audit RFP is still active and that the sheriff is collecting proposals after a publication delay that pushed back the timeline.
A commissioner asked for an update on the forensic audit; the transcript records that the sheriff is handling collection of RFPs and that publication of the RFP caused a delay in the schedule. Commissioners discussed whether a drop-dead date on RFPs exists and agreed there was flexibility because the RFP was not published when initially expected.
During department updates, the county clerk reported she had not received a copy of a previously passed resolution and will obtain it for the next meeting. The clerk also clarified licensing items discussed earlier in the year (G1 and G3 licenses related to moving to a .gov domain versus Adobe licensing) and raised that unsigned payroll checks occurred in her office during a transition; the clerk said she will follow up and provide the missing documents.
Why it matters: A forensic audit and the procurement process for it can have implications for county transparency and potential changes to internal controls. The county clerk’s report about unsigned payroll checks indicates an administrative error during a transition that the clerk plans to address.
Next steps: Sheriff to continue collecting RFP responses; county clerk to retrieve the missing resolution copy and investigate the unsigned payroll checks and report back at the next meeting.
