Probate Judge authorized to retain $3,500 buffer for bad-check fees
Summary
Following an audit finding, Chairman Seay requested and the commission approved allowing the Probate Office to retain a $3,500 balance to cover fees from bad checks until they can be recouped; motion passed 4-0.
Chairman Toby Seay reported that a recent audit of the Probate Office identified no formal provision for handling bad-check fees. Because the office historically had sufficient excess funds to cover such fees, the auditor recommended a buffer be maintained going forward.
Seay requested authority for the Probate Office to retain $3,500 in its account to cover occurrences of bad-check fees until the funds can be recouped.
