Commissioners voice concern over long‑running payroll reconciliation problems as outside vendor is hired
Summary
Madison County commissioners said payroll reconciliation problems have persisted for years and urged coordination with the treasurer before outsourcing; one commissioner said payroll hasn't been done correctly for about 3.5 years.
Commissioners debated outsourcing payroll work to an external consultant while raising concerns about unresolved reconciliation issues in the treasurer's office. One commissioner urged the board to coordinate with the treasurer, saying the county should not "add to whatever has been... that she can't get her month end to numbers to match," and recommended talking to 'Shelley' in the treasurer's office before committing to long‑term outsourcing.
Another commissioner put the issue in historical context, saying on the record that, "Since I've been a commissioner, we have apparently never done payroll correctly" and noting the problem has persisted for more than three years. The commissioners said the board would use an outside vendor for August to clean up records and then reassess whether payroll should be brought back in‑house or remain outsourced.
