A003 - CONTROLLER Controller Beharry stated that in connection with Act 76 of 1982 mandating the Controller to audit all magistrates annually, she met with the Board of Com- missioners in January to discuss her request for auditor positions and also other alternatives as requested by the Commissioners. She also stated that, as directed, she obtained quotes from outside auditors to perform that function. 94 SALARY MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY. PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R. MASCARA, DAVID L. GILMORE. EDWARD M. PALUSO, COMMISSIONERS Controller Beharry noted that her initial request was for an Audit Manager at an approximate salary of $20,000 and two Auditors at $14,339.78. She had anti- cipated that those three individuals would be working for an entire year, at least. for the first year of these audits to complete the work sufficiently. She noted that it is now June, but she is willing to take those positions for the remainder of the year at those rates to attempt to complete the audits and hopes to be able to assign a person in her office to work on those audits with them. She stated that the position of asking for auditors versus an outside contractor is one that she considers to be very important because the Controller's Office now has no auditors at all; and considering that the law makes her the auditor of all County funds, she feels that she is in a position where she can't really do her job. She noted that the row offices have not been audited in a decade, except for one, and that she has also had requests from offices such as Adult Probation, the Jail and Children and Youth to do some audit work and has not been able to comply with those requests. She also mentioned that she has had mid -year requests to do audits in some of the Magistrates' Offices due to certain circumstances. She further stated that there is no doubt in her mind that the law clearly says that the Con- troller shall audit and that it is a responsibility that she cannot allow to lie any longer. Commissioner Paluso questioned the amounts of the proposals submitted by the outside auditors. Miss Beharry answered that Main Hurdman's proposal was in the amount of $32,900 (plus o-u/t, of pocket expenses) and Arthur Young's proposal �K�' was in the amount of 1 (, . Some discussion followed! Moved by Miss Beharry to establish 1 position of Audit Manager at an annual salary of $20,000 and 2 positions of Auditors at an annual salary of $14,339.78. Motion died for lack of a second.

Controller Beharry questioned the entry level (base rate) for a Cashier I. Mrs. Pennline stated that the rate is 5.695. Ms. Beharry ques- tioned how we can pay Ms. Krivacek the rate of 6.675. Mrs. Pennline noted that the rate was requested by the Court. Mr. Gilmore stated that the Courts have al- ways taken the position to fill slots at the salary that has been vacated.

Controller Beharry noted that Ms. Krivacek is working but will not get a paycheck this week because the Controller's Office does not have any paperwork on her. Mr. Gilmore stated that he doesn't think at this poil;t that we have any choice but to honor what's been done. Miss Beharry brought up the matter of whether or not the Court employees are part of the collective bar- gaining agreement and stated that she feels that issue is still not resolved. More discussion followed. Miss Beharry stated that she sees a lot of unsolved problems and is not prepared to support this matter.
