Warren County supervisors adopt resolution to form working group on ACH fraud

The Warren County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution creating a working group to develop recommendations to the board on automated clearing house (ACH) fraud.

Chair (speaker S1) opened the item after the board first voted to waive the rules so the resolution could be read. The chair said the motion to waive the rules was made by Supervisor Wells and seconded by Supervisor Goodspeed; the board proceeded by voice vote with no opposition recorded.

A staff member read the text of the resolution, describing it as “a resolution authorizing the creation of a working group to add on recommendations advised by the Warren County Board of Supervisors regarding ACH fraud” (speaker S2). The chair then solicited someone to introduce the resolution; the chair named Supervisor Bruno and Supervisor Etu as the introducers. The chair called for discussion, then asked for those in favor to say "aye." The chair announced the measure carried.

The resolution and the working group’s membership, charge, and timeline were not specified in detail on the record. The board provided no additional discussion about the working group's scope during the meeting, and no vote tally beyond the chair’s voice announcement was recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: the resolution passed by voice vote and the board will proceed under the authority of that resolution; the transcript does not specify who will staff the working group, the deadline for its report, or when the working group will meet.
