Inventory audit finds ammunition and unit‑pricing issues; county to tighten controls
Summary
Baker Tilly’s countywide inventory review praised strong controls in fleet and community kitchen but found ammunition from range events stored overnight in a Rangemaster’s take‑home truck and unit-of-measure inconsistencies in jail inventory. Auditors recommended secure storage, consistent units/pricing and strengthened inventory controls; the committee accepted the report.
Chelsea Ritchie, managing director at Baker Tilly, presented the countywide inventory internal-audit results, which included on-site counts at five locations: the sheriff’s department (ammunition and jail), community kitchen, fleet, parks and the county fleet department. Auditors said fleet and the community kitchen demonstrated strong inventory practices but flagged two observations that merit correction.
"Leftover ammunition from departmental shooting events is being stored in the bed of the Rangemaster's take home truck rather than being returned to the sheriff's department armory," Ritchie said, recommending that ammunition be kept in secure, controlled locations with restricted access. She also noted that 6 of 12 sampled jail items were recorded as single units even though pricing in records was per dozen or per case; auditors recommended ensuring units of measure and prices are consistent in inventory records. Staff said the sheriff reported changing the practice so returned ammunition is now turned in after range events. The committee accepted the report and recommended it to the Board of County Commissioners.
