Auditors flag procurement and levy-sheet inconsistencies; county staff to respond
Summary
Auditors are documenting findings that include equipment purchases lacking formal bids (thresholds exceeded when combined purchases were treated as single orders) and mismatches between levy worksheets and published levy numbers. County staff said they'll perform a second-party review and reply to auditors.
County staff told commissioners that recent audit work produced several findings the office must address, including procurement documentation for equipment purchases and differences between budget appropriations and published tax-levy sheets.
A commissioner flagged one finding as "you guys not doing the bid process" after staff described two belly-dump purchases whose combined trade-in and net cost exceeded informal thresholds. The clerk said she has already prepared responses to the new findings and will run a second-party review on levy worksheets to reconcile amounts.
Commissioners asked staff to ensure the county corrects records and to present the formal audit response at the next meeting. No enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the board recorded staff follow-up steps.
