Joel Miller, County Auditor, stated that it has been 81 days since he turned over the laptop computer regarding the financial misconduct. On May 23rd he provided the Board with a written report which he was required to complete within 20 days or be removed from office. He has talked with Supervisors Oleson and Harris with regard to this, noting that there has been ample time in his opinion for this issue to be closed. Miller is concerned that the Board will allow this to be drug through the next campaign season. He stated that this was politically motivated and still believes that it is now. He thinks the Board is aware of the findings and has been briefed by legal counsel and the Financial Advisor. Miller asked the Board what the delay was and why aren’t they making this an urgent matter to come to closure. He will forward the letter to Supervisor Harris that confidentiality was not considered or guaranteed. Miller stated that the Compliance Officer reports to them and it needs to be finished.
The Board received and placed on file the following correspondence:
Email from Rich Patterson re: complimenting seal coating on Bertram Road.
