Your cooperation wilt be appreciated and contribute towazds you request being addressed at the earliest opportunity. See Agenda Request Rules Adopted by Commissioners' Court. 9`~ August 2005 County Judge and Commissioners: In the Commissioners' Court meeting held on July 11, 2005 the County Treasurer reported a $538.381ate payment fee to TCDRS due to missing a reporting deadline in Apri12005. This issue surfaced when the County Judge received a copy of the notice of the fee assessment from TCDRS. In that meeting we also learned that late reporting fines and interest had been paid for the months of January, February and September of 2002. The 2002 expenditures were not reported to Commissioners' Court by the County Judge or the County Treasurer. The net result of these four transactions is that more than $2,000 in county funds were spent without Commissioners' Court knowledge or approval. These unauthorized expenditures may be an anomaly in accountability present only in the Treasurer's Office or it may be there is a potential for other Kerr County functions to make such unauthorized expenditures with out Commissioners' Court knowledge. I propose a court order requiring such expenditures to be reported to the Commissioners' Court. ~~)/j~~`''~ ~°- Dave Nicholson #g~i' V February 27, 2002 The Honorable Bazbaza Nemec Kerr County Treasurer 700 Main St Rm 118 Kerrville, TX 78028 Re: Penalty for Late Reporting Dear Ms. Nemec: TCDRS received Kerr County's report for the month of January 2002 on February 26, 2002.
