   1:01:58Mr. Steinwater. Uh Mr. Chairman M You approved C twenty nine this morning, the appointment of the audit selection committee. I I wanted to make it clear to both the board and the and the more importantly, the constitutionals. This is based on a very strange statute which requires the elected officials to serve. So while the motion that was passed said or designees, the statute really says that it's

   1:02:29the electeds that have to that have to perform that duty unless they designate a non-employee to serve on their behalf. I don't know why the legislature feels that A deputy clerk is not as good as a non- but that's what it says. So I'm just just throwing that out there for clarification that that it's unfortunately it's the the Elected officials that serve on

   1:02:59that audit selection committee, and it's something that's statutorily required.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:03:05Is there some change that we need to approve or

   Christina Fitzpatrick

   1:03:07I Technically the motion follows the statute. It's just that because it says or designee, I wanted to make and the the memo is clear. It says that it can't be an employee, but I just felt it was necessary to re-emphasize that

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:03:23right

   Christina Fitzpatrick

   1:03:23that because it is it is normal for The sheriff to send it to the right-of-way. a colonel or a major or the you know So Um not in this case.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:03:37Right. Mr. Steinsnyder, I read the statute too. And um there is a provision that you know provides or designee. And then there's another provision, I think it's subsection C, that says the county cannot have. a um an employee as their designee. It doesn't say the constitutionals. However, when I looked at GFOA's best practice, their best practice, even though it's not a mandate, provides that to have the elected

   1:04:07official or a designee that is a non-employee.

   Christina Fitzpatrick

   1:04:11Yeah. Unfortunately we got guidance from the legislature, legislative staff that it it applied to both the elected both the constitutionals and the Board of County Commissioners. So that's

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:04:22not with a little closet, but okay.

   Christina Fitzpatrick

   1:04:25At all?

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:04:26That's it. All right. Thank you. Madam Clerk.
