Scott County approves $1.39 million in warrants after questions about law‑firm invoice detail
Summary
Supervisors approved warrants totaling $1,385,650.24 but several members requested more detail on two law‑firm invoices and asked that case captions or a follow‑up review be added to a future agenda for transparency.
The board moved to approve warrants totaling $1,385,650.24 and, after questions from multiple supervisors, approved the payment by roll call. Supervisor Sherman Maxwell and others raised concerns that invoices from Lane & Waterman ($17,132.33) and Bush, Motto, Crean, Cory & Halligan ($100,466.35) lacked caption or case-identifying detail in the warrants listing and requested that staff or the county attorney provide case captions or otherwise explain the work those invoices covered.
Board members said they were comfortable approving the payment amounts but wanted the public record to show the cases being billed. One member suggested a future agenda item to review the invoices with the county attorney and to ensure written minutes reflect the request. Staff (Mahesh) noted the request and appeared to take the follow-up note for future action; the warrants were then approved by roll call.
