Coffey County staff report auditors, invoices, payroll and safety-training updates
Summary
County staff told commissioners that auditors will be on site March 9–11, an asphalt invoice tied to a school cost-share has been forwarded to the district, vacation-balance guidance was sent to employees, and the county has received eight workers-comp claims this year; staff also noted options for safety training and Edison-portal access workarounds.
County staff delivered several routine operational updates to the Coffey County Commission, including auditor scheduling, invoices and personnel-administration guidance.
Staff said auditors are scheduled to be on site March 9–11 and reminded departments to prepare records. Staff also told commissioners an asphalt invoice tied to an USD 244 cost-share at the east side of a school (near the law enforcement center) was forwarded to the school superintendent for payment and the county expects to receive the check once the district processes it.
On payroll and benefits, staff reported they have handled employee-payroll corrections through Edison and cautioned employees about vacation-balance overages. An email was sent advising employees about timing and cutoff rules for using vacation balances; staff said the intent was to allow the period up to March 31 to clear balances and that April 1 would mark the reset.
Staff confirmed the county had updated driver reports for insurance and said the county has received eight workers-comp claims so far this year. They discussed safety-training options: Trust Point proposed a paid training product (Click Safety), and staff identified an alternative free program called Safe Me that Trust Point said they would consider honoring.
Finally, staff noted a technical issue with the Edison portal after a Chrome update and recommended employees use Firefox on county computers to access the portal in the interim. The meeting proceeded from these administrative items to other business and then adjourned.
