The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday, is expected to discuss a report from the State Auditor’s Office, with regard to the travel expenses of the County Employees. Their meeting in the Supervisor’s Board Room at the Court House, begins at 8:30-a.m.

Late last month, the State Auditor’s Office issued a report on employee travel expenses for Cass County personnel and elected officials determined some officials used County credit cards improperly and a county employee was doing non-beneficial work on County time.  The review was for the period of July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016 and was conducted as a result of citizen concerns regarding the frequency of County Treasurer Tracey Marshall’s travel and certain purchases made using a County credit card.

The review determined County-issued credit cards were used to purchase items not related to County business. The County credit card policy specifies that County cards may not be used for purposes other than County expenses such as fuel, meals during overnight travel, lodging, and equipment purchases.  The review also determined that supporting documentation is not always provided or required for employee travel expenses submitted for reimbursement.
