Madison County treasurer describes months-long balancing backlog, asks board for help

Treasurer Kiley gave a detailed status report on efforts to balance fiscal months, describing system 'double warrants,' a large unintended set of handwritten claims (described in the transcript as about "15,000 pages") and staff turnover that created sustained delays. She said balancing efforts began in earnest last year, she worked through multiple months and reopened the year-end to correct problems, and that she has been working long hours to bring accounts current.
