Finance director reports ARPA audit cleared; treasurer urges full-time staff and Commissioners authorize TAN process
Summary
The county’s ARPA audit had no findings and staff recommended updating procurement policy. Treasurer Beth Calhoun described staffing shortfalls and the Commissioners authorized initiation of a tax anticipation note process.
Finance Director Lindsay Kay told the Commissioners that the ARPA audit is complete with no findings; staff recommended updating the county procurement policy and Kay said she will prepare revisions for Commissioner review. "The ARPA audit is complete and there are no findings but there was suggestion to update the procurement policy," Kay said.
Treasurer Beth Calhoun described her office’s staffing as a finance director and a part-time temporary employee and urged creating a full-time position to handle workload and provide backup. Calhoun said the current Finance Director is covering payroll during absences because there is no replacement. Commissioners authorized Calhoun to begin the tax anticipation note (TAN) process; Commissioners and Calhoun discussed that treasurer salary should be attractive enough to engage qualified candidates given the office oversees the county budget.
