Summary of Request:
On May 6, 2025, Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector (ACTTC), Chamise Cubbison, presented to the Board during item 4a Acceptance of Informational Report(s) from the various elected and non-elected Department Heads. After presenting about the status of tax sale auctions, Ms. Cubbison informed the Board that she will not be able to close the year-end books with year-end balance entries for the County’s outside audit firm, Clifton Larson Allen, to begin their outside audit in September, unless the Board directs Sara Pierce to work directly for Ms. Cubbison and her staff beginning July 15, 2025 through the issuance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Ms. Cubbison also stated that she would like the Board to require Ms. Pierce, who is an Executive Office employee, to sign the ACFR and Management Representation Letter, both of which are among the responsibilities of the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector, the officer in charge of financial records for the county, pursuant to Government Code section 53891(a). The Chair submits the attached response, that has been provided, to Ms. Cubbison, which addresses the reasons why Ms. Cubbison’s requests are not feasible and summarizes the support that has been provided and continues to be available to Ms. Cubbison and the department, and the various tools the ACTTC and staff have available. The Board remains committed to assisting Ms. Cubbison in achieving statutory mandates but is unable to compel an employee to work directly for her or for any department.
