BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 8, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: James D. Curry
SUBJECT: Response to the Auditor General's Report
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board is requested to review, provide direction and authorize
the Chairman to transmit the County’s response/corrective action plan to the Auditor General’s
preliminary and tentative audit findings and recommendations dated December 18, 2012 and
amended December 28, 2012.
BACKGROUND: For the past several months, county and clerk staff has been working closely
with the Auditor General’s Office (AGO) during an audit of the board’s oversight of the Tourist
Development Council and use of tourist development taxes and funds received from British
Petroleum resulting from the unauthorized expenditures and theft of funds by the former tourist
development executive director. The Auditor General’s preliminary and tentative audit findings
and recommendations were received on December 18, 2012 and the Board’s response is due
within 30 days. The responses were still being finalized at the time of the agenda preparation but
will be transmitted to the board prior to Tuesday's meeting in order to provide time for your
review and facilitate meaningful discussion during the meeting.
Since most of the AGO’s findings cross jurisdictional responsibilities between the Board of
County Commissioners and the Clerk of Circuit Court, the draft responses have been a
collaborative effort between staff of both offices. As a result, the proposed transmittal letter
would be executed by both the Board Chairman and the Clerk of Circuit Court.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Provide direction and authorization for the Chairman to transmit the
County’s response/corrective action plan to the Auditor General’s preliminary and tentative audit
findings and recommendations dated December 18, 2012 and amended December 28, 2012.
