Audit flags deficits in two county funds, ARPA reporting issues noted

Elko County Commission · April 2, 2025

Summary

The county audit identified statutory noncompliance and fund deficits (Lehi fund ~$107,000; ambulance fund ~$75,000) and found mismatches in ARPA reporting and two federal grants missing from the schedule; auditors said corrective actions will be filed with the state.

During the audit presentation, Terry Gage (S6) described compliance testing under Nevada law and said auditors found noncompliance in several areas. "You had 1 budget over expenditure where your expenses exceeded what you had budgeted," Gage said, citing a Local Emergency Planning Commission (Lehi) fund overexpenditure of about $107,000 and an ambulance fund deficit of about $75,000 where the required interfund loan approval was not documented.

Gage also said auditors identified two grants that were omitted from the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and corrected them during the audit: an ARPA amount of $883,000 and a Forestry Service Title I grant of $338,000. He emphasized the county spent ARPA funds correctly but that some ARPA reports did not match supporting documentation because of staffing and documentation changes; corrective actions will be presented to the board for state review.
