Board pauses staffing changes while Single Source accounting problems are probed

The Shelby Town Board spent a large portion of its meeting examining problems arising from its new Single Source accounting arrangement and the town payroll/time-clock system. Board members and employees described repeated automatic punch-outs, manual corrections and uncertainty about who is responsible for printing checks and producing vouchers under the contract. The board agreed to give the contractor one month to resolve the issues before deciding whether to increase the clerk's hours or make the position full-time.
