Committee demands Treasurer Tracey provide reconciliations under oath by June 9; audit date remains contingent
Summary
Citing missing bank reconciliations, the Committee agreed to require County Treasurer Tracey to file sworn reconciliations (Dec 2024–Apr 2026) and proof of BS&A uploads by June 9, 2026; the June audit is dependent on Manor reconciliation progress.
Finance Chair Jeff Sieting and Chair Kohn Fisher raised concerns about missing bank reconciliations from County Treasurer Tracey, saying the absence of reconciliations prevented audit preparation under MCL 46.11. Manor representatives reported reconciliation progress through April 2025 and noted a $3,000 discrepancy as of their most recent work; they said limited IT access is slowing progress.
The Committee reached consensus to place a motion on the May 20, 2026 Regular Meeting agenda, pursuant to MCL 46.11(k), requiring County Treasurer Tracey to submit under oath by close of business on June 9, 2026: (1) bank reconciliations for all accounts from December 2024 through April 2026, reconciled to zero or with documented explanations for unbalanced amounts, and (2) evidence that all bank statements have been uploaded into the BS&A software. No opposition was recorded at the Committee meeting; the June 8 audit date may still be postponed if reconciling work does not continue.
