Board orders treasurer to file sworn bank reconciliations and upload statements by Aug. 10
Summary
The board unanimously required County Treasurer Tracey to submit sworn bank reconciliations for Jan. 1–June 30, 2026 and proof that bank statements are uploaded into the county's BS&A software by end of business on Aug. 10, 2026; the motion passed 6–0 with one absence.
During open session on July 23, the Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners passed a motion under MCL 46.11(k) requiring County Treasurer Tracey to produce a sworn report by Aug. 10, 2026. The motion, made by Commissioner Robert Baldwin and supported by Commissioner Jeff Sieting, directs the treasurer to deliver: (1) bank reconciliations on all accounts covering Jan. 1, 2026 through June 2026 that must reconcile to zero or include correct explanations for any unbalanced amounts; and (2) evidence that bank statements for all accounts are uploaded into the BS&A software associated with those accounts by the Aug. 10 deadline.
The motion was adopted by roll call: Baldwin, yes; Sieting, yes; Comai, yes; Matley, yes; Persons, yes; Fisher, yes; Bicum absent (6 yeas, 0 nays, 1 absent). The motion's text appears verbatim in the minutes: "Bank Reconciliations on all accounts, which must be accurately balanced to zero or unbalanced amounts shall include correct and accurate explanation of the unbalanced amounts, from January 1, 2026 through June 2026" and requires uploads "by August 10, 2026, end of business day." The action imposes a statutory reporting expectation but does not itself impose criminal or civil penalties; the board later pursued a separate request to the governor regarding removal under MCL 168.207.
