ROLL CALL: The following members were present:

Bob E. White, Vice President
John T. Martin, Councilman
Floyd Oliver, Councilman
Bob Martin, Councilman
Also present: Mr. A . J. Lorie and Mr. Dennis Woodroof of
Stone, Gray and Company; 2 members of the press; and
secretary, Bev Thomas.
PERFORMANCE AUDIT OF ROAD AND BRIDGE: Nancy Clark presented a brief outline
of the history of the County's Road and Bridge Division and then
opened the meeting for discussion. The discussion was aimed at
giving Mr. Woodroof and Mr. Lorie ideas about what the Council
wanted to learn from the performance audit.
Nancy said that while there is a plan of organization for the
division on paper, the Council 's concern is whether this
organization is working in practice. She pointed out that there
is an excessive number of complaints about Road and Bridge. Also,
the Council had discussed the audit with the County Commissioners
and they are amiable to the performance audit.
The Council members expressed hearsay-problems that concerned them
and that they wanted to be included in a performance audit. . Nancy
stated that it had proved difficult for the Council to have the time
and knowledge to get answers to their questions. She added that the
Council felt they needed persons with expertise to aid them and to
make recommendations for improvement.
Bob Martin and John Martin answered Mr. Lorie's question regarding
the source of the complaints. They said that they had heard most
of the complaints from the rank and file workers in the Road and
Bridge Division.
Mr. Lorie explained that he and Mr. Woodroof would have to begin
by reading available information regarding what authority is
assigned to Road and Bridge. They would want to look at the
budget, the cost accounting system, purchasing policies, personnel
policies, and papers used routinely in Road and Bridge. At a
later date they would need to interview personnel in the division
and go over the work sheets of the firm who has audited the County
previously.
