RE Jail Renovation Project

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

RE Jail Renovation Project

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

RE Jail Renovation Project

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

RE Jail Renovation Project

The County jail is comprised of various housing wings that were constructed over the past 56 years Over the course of time numerous concerns have been identified and discussed wi(h Facilities and Operations staff In an effort to be proactive priorities have been identified If not addressed these issues will increase our potential for liability and may necessitate further intervention by regulatory authorities (up to and including decommissioning of jail bed space)

As you are aware in 2005 the Board approved the schematic design for a jail addition and renovations project The project was tabled however pending funding As conditions here have deteriorated and certain components are beyond their useful life a plan of action was discussed with F amp O Wakely Associates was contacted and asked to review the 2005 schematic design and facility evaluation We requested that a cost estimate be updated reflecting improvements which would extend the life of the facility

Three (3) estimates are attached for your review (see Attachment A B amp C) Dominic Abbate (of Wakely Associates Inc) will give a brief presentation and assist us in responding to the Boards questions and concerns

As a result of the aforementioned it is respectfully requested that the Board authorize Wakely Associates to proceed with the development of Bid Specifications for the improvements identified in Option C

Sincerely

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

J The Macomb County Circuit Court is embarking on the implementation of e-filing as part of its initiative to expand the use

of technology to improve Court services Rather than focusing on vendor-driven sales sessions this conference

I presented by the National Center for State Courts brings together Court and Information Technology experts to present

sessions focused on court re-engineering projects e-filing judicial workflow challenges security and control Sessions

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

Salary Paid and Lean Accumulatiltm for the Executive Director

A summary of amounts paid as salary to the Executive Director for the period October i ~007

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

The following items were noted in the review of comrensatioll paid

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

Salary Paid and Lean Accumulatiltm for the Executive Director

A summary of amounts paid as salary to the Executive Director for the period October i ~007

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

The following items were noted in the review of comrensatioll paid

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Overview of the Districts Development

In the 1930s as the Dust Bowl swept across the nation relocating an estimated 300 million tons of soil Americans realized the devastating effects of soil erosion Legislation began to take shape to better manage and conserve the nations soi1 In the 1930s aboutyj of the land was in the hands ofprivate owners Congress felt that to be successful it would need the help of the landowners so the focus was on rural America The point was to assist fanners and ranchers in conservation measures to prevent soil from blowing and washing away Its goal was to work at the Jocallevel rather than from Capitol Hill

Today land is continuously being divided This creates new landowners with little or no knowledge of land management It is clear that the part the Conservation Districts plays has changed to include new and expanding rolls while eontinuing to serve its agricultural base However it is important to remember our roots and why conservation districts camc into being in the tirst place

The Macomb Conservation District is a local unit of State Government established in 1950 We have in the past provided the following programs or assistance -- Groundwater Stewardship Program -- Forestry Assistance -- Pond Worltshops -- Purchase of Development Rights Program -- Urban Wildlife Management Assistance -- Conservation Education for all ages -- Native Plant Selection and more

We have partnered with numerous organizations throughout this and neighboring counties to provide service and support to the community We network through the Michigan Association of Conservation District along with Michigan State Universitys Extension Service and other like~minded organizations Over the years we have provided a wealth of information to the pUblic Our goal is to continue to do so in the future

Until 2006 Macomb Conservation District had on staffan Office Manager Assistant Office Manager a Clerk a Forester and a Ground Water Technician With State funding dwindling until it was totally removed in 2009 the district had 10 repeatedly take action to decrease operational costs Employment at the district was steadily reduced along with other cost cutting measures At present the district operates with one office person working three days per week Additional hours may be added for our bi-annual tree sale andor participation in community based outreach projects

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

Salary Paid and Lean Accumulatiltm for the Executive Director

A summary of amounts paid as salary to the Executive Director for the period October i ~007

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

The following items were noted in the review of comrensatioll paid

In 44 pay periods the Executive Director accrued annual time tNaling 264 hours contrary to the provisions of the work agreement with the District This amounted to $456240 in Compemation paid to the Director as annual tine

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

(continued)

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

A summary of amounts paid as salary to the Executive Director for the period October i ~007

through Decenber 3 2009 (date final payroll check cashed) follows as Schedule C in this report Earnings regular hours vacation and personal hours used and accrued were summarized for the period

The following items were noted in the review of comrensatioll paid

Macomb Conservation District Results of the Examination

(continued)

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Disbursements Examination Findings

All checks which were issued and cleared the Districts bank account for the period October 12007 through March 31 20 10 were reviewed payees identified and amourts were verified with sllpporting docurrentation All checks -hich cleared the bank account were identitled ard accounted for No check recipient payees were found which were different than supported by the appropriate documentation Additionally all checks were issued ir the appropriate amount as supportec by the documentation

Check nwnber 4771 payahle to Jennifer Patterson in tlll amOUnl of $39980 cleared the bank on February 182009 The signature of the Executie Director Alane Rowley is the only authorizing signature on his check Ms Pattersun has made admlssons to the District Directors that she in fact signed Ms Rowleys authorizing signature to this check See Exhibit A

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Known personal items charged to the Districts credit card inchded the following items

$77500 RYC CR MEMB LLC Card 5106 $71817 Zehnders Card 4510 $41895 Americas Best (glasses) Card 5106 $14088 SEMCO Energy Card 4510 $43100 Riverview Campground Card 4510

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Each month MOST checks were issued with only one imthorizing signature This violates internaL controls board policy and potentially conDicts with procedures agreed upon with the Districts surety bOild company Additionally sole signata checks were issued for many Chase Ca-d Services payments which did not have the approprlate supporting documentatiol to support the paymenl

Review of Board Minutes

Minutes should be filed in a bound book with numbered pages to allow for an easily followed chronological review of District B08rd authorized transactions Cunently minutes are kept n file folders for respective calendar years With minutes kept in this manner there is rio assurance that all actions authorized by he board are properly uucumented For example boa-d action at the March 262008 meeting restored and authorized back pay for hours previously reduced by board action on August 152007 In the copy of the March 26 2008 mirutes provided for my review there was no mention of this board action because the minute copies were incomplete When searching the office for other documents a completed copy (ith the Execu(ve Directors signature) of the v1arch 26 2008 miwtes vere found which vere C-nmplelCd in detail and which supported the nstoring of the wages for the Executive Direcror

The official board actions of the District must be documented with appropriate correspondence attaehed sllpponing boal J ltKtions cnd sfould be signed by the District Chairman t1inues kept in detaiL in a bound book with proper documentation should support every official action taen by the District Board

Credit Card Usage and Payments Findings

Ir accordance with Public Ad 106 of 1995 the District adopteJ the statutorily required credit card policy for local units ofgovernment on September 212005 To comply with state statue any credit cards issued and used by the District must be in the Districts name No documents supporting the application for and establishmg this credit card in the Districts name were found Additionally no informatioll which identified the mailing address for the credit card bill was found in the records of the District In most instances all payment am()lJnt~ posted to [he card ere made entirdy from funds of the District In those instances where perona1 items were paici for a District check was purportedly accompanied by a personal checkmoney orderelectronic check Use ofa personal credit card for municipality Or personal expenditures charged [0 the Districlll1ay violate the State Constitution state statutes and creiltcs potential saes tax related Issues

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

The credit card was used for personal business unrelated to the Conservation District Documentation detailing all goods and services purchased was not provided The Execut~ve Director d~d not report negligcnee of the cards use to t~e Directors All credit card invoices were not approved prior to payment Written notations on a credit card bil regarding t3e purpose or reason for au expenditure is not appropriate supporting documentatioll as required by statute The Executive Director was the only authorizing signature on 21 of 23 checks issued to Chase Card Services for payment

Base upon the results of the examin(ltion I find that theres evidence to support the conclusion [hat unsupported credit card charges totaling $750] 92 were paid to Chase Card Services for purchases made on he Districts two credit cards durillg the period October 12007 through March J 12010 Schedule A is a summary of monthly charges and the payment history for the credit card Sclledule B is a $urrmary ofmonthly charges made on each card and the supporting documentation vi~ich vas available to support those charges As noted above 21 of the checks paic to Chae Card Services were signed only by the Executive Director Alane Rowley

Personal checksmoney orderselectronic checks from the Executive Directorand Jennifer Patterson were included with lhe District check payments for the above items although this could not be completely verified by available documentation A rersonal check from Jennifer Patterson for the last two items ($57188) was not honored by the bank when it waS presented with the Conservation District check for payment by the creCil card company An electronic check was posttd to the credit card activily on 092309 for the payment oflbe $57188 and the District incurred a $39 check charge all the credit card

Many expenditures charged to the credit card were not supported by appropriate documentation found with tht credit card information More than seven thousands of dollars of purciases charged to the Chase Card remain without documentation (contrary to statutory requirements) to support the purchases There was no supporting cocumertalion to Sllpport check number 4933 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount 01$78493 in October 2009

Additionally on Fehfllary 162010 check number 4975 issued to Chase Card Services in the amount of$1 86139 cleared the Districts bank account The credit card statement ard credit card receipts identifying items purchased were not found prior to payment Receipts from retailers which appear to be itcms purchased were provided as supporting documentation although no credit card statement was found to verify items purchased District ofticials have irdicated that the items purchased and billed from that statement are in the possession of the Conservatim District No payments or disbursements should ever be made without supp0l1ing documentation to support the checks issued

With the issuance of check 4576 the leave balance~ as shoYffi by the Districts software increased annual leave by 12 hours and personal leave by 4 hours No doc_umentation was found to supporl the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The Executive Director was given the responsibility of enforcing the credit card policy Inslal1ces of non compliallce ilh the Slate 12 and the boarci adopted policy were noted as follovs

An additional eight hours of annual leave accrual occurred with the issuance of check number 4619 No documentation was found to support the increase of these hours which resulted in negative leave balances used

Changes in the above noted leave balances resulted in excess leave usage and negative leave balances

Several time-sheets submitted by the Executive Director Juring the time period under examination did 110t have an authorizing signature of one of the Directormiddots

Payroll checks ofthe Execuive Director were issued with only the Executive Director as the authorizing signature

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Cash Receipts Review

Prior to the examination receipts were not wntten for ALL collections received Tn most instances receipts were writlen only for cash collections and not for checks received ~ow the District uses a three-part receipt for CASH collections only Chccks received are nOl officially receipted All coUections ~ust be documented by the issuance of an official Conservation District receipt All receipt numbers should be slrictly cantroUed all oided receipts (wilh aU copies intact) sllo11d be accounted for and deposits should be made intact

To assure that IIll revenues of thc District are accounted for the District must enforce a change in poEey requiring that al revenues be receipted require that bank deposits occur intact and accourt for all voided receipts Revenues collected during tree sale activities can be receipted into a cash register type system which nurrerically controls receipts which controls voided transactions and which can provide daily totals for collection The daily tree sale collection totals are then receipted in the accounting sy~ltllI lith the issuance of a middotmiddotsundry persons receipts With thiS procedure in place all revenues can be deposited intact and a more complete audit trail for all District collections witt be in place

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

J The Macomb County Circuit Court is embarking on the implementation of e-filing as part of its initiative to expand the use

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The benefit to Macomb County from travel of the above-named individuals) is detailed below

J The Macomb County Circuit Court is embarking on the implementation of e-filing as part of its initiative to expand the use

I

of technology to improve Court services Rather than focusing on vendor-driven sales sessions this conference

I presented by the National Center for State Courts brings together Court and Information Technology experts to present

sessions focused on court re-engineering projects e-filing judicial workflow challenges security and control Sessions

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

larder to facilitate and enhance Our own implementation of this technology

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

MACOMB CONSERVATION DISTRICT 72955 Van Dyke Ave Bruce Township Michigan 48065

Email macombcdyahoocom MACOMt

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

J The Macomb County Circuit Court is embarking on the implementation of e-filing as part of its initiative to expand the use

I

of technology to improve Court services Rather than focusing on vendor-driven sales sessions this conference

I presented by the National Center for State Courts brings together Court and Information Technology experts to present

sessions focused on court re-engineering projects e-filing judicial workflow challenges security and control Sessions

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

larder to facilitate and enhance Our own implementation of this technology

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

The mission of the Macomb Conservation District (MeD) is to ert5ure that land water forest and wildlife and all natural resourCes of the county are managed for

sustained use for future generations

Dear Alane

The board has had an opportunity to review the fraud examination report prepared by John

Bengel dated May 28 2010 and to hear his presentation at the last board meeting We recognize

that there were shortcomings in a number of areas in the period from October 12007 through

March 31 2009 These include improper personal use of the Districts credit card improper

payroll calculations incomplete receipting of collections and missing receipts for credit card

purchases One signature checks and filing of hoard minutes were also an issue

Neither Mr Bengel nor our board find any evidence to support the idea that you are guilty of any

willful disregard for the best interest of the Macomb Conservation District There was a lack of

oversight on the part of the board that would havc helped you in eompliance matters but until

these issues arose we were unaware that there were problematic procedures being followed

However because oferrors in the annual and personal leave computation the board has voted to

request that you contact the board chair wilhin thirty days of the receipt of this letler to make

compensatory payment arrangements

By majority vote of the Macomb County Conservation District Board of Direclor~

Paul Vermeesch Chairman MCD Originally crealed Wednesday June 23 2010

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Alane R Rowley 33841 School Section Road Richmond MI 48062

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Contract language

Article II

Section 1 Vacation (Annual Leave) Employee shall be entitled to 6 hrs Annual Leave for every 80 hours worked Annual leave may be used on an individual hour basis with pennission from the supervisor Not over 80 hours of vacation time shall be earried over into the next year Employee may eonvert up to Y2 of their annual vacation to cash

Upon termination of employment the employee shall be entitled To any earned unused annual leave pay which will be included on the employees final check Annual leave pay will be made at the employees normal rate of pay excluding overtime

When Mr Bengel caleulated the amount of repayment no credit was given for

hours worked less than 80 hours per two weeks This is a different interpretation

of the contract which clearly states 6 hours per every 80 hours worked

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Dear Alane

Per your request in your letter dated August 30 2010 following is the breakdown of the amended total of vacation and sick leave owed by you to the Macomb Conservation District The board is also in receipt of your explanations ofthe credit card charges as well as the spreadsheet supplied to you by Hannah Stevens

The total amount owing for personal time (sick leave) accumulated remains the same as reported in the forensic audit prepared by John Bengel This total owing is $134830

The total amount owing for leave accumulated differs from the amount reported in the forensic audit The method of calculating the leave hours in the audit gave credit according the employment contract only if 80 hours were worked in a single pay period The board determined at its regular board meeting on August 4 2010 that the total hours worked should be credited in their entirety which would change the amount owing This revised figure as was calculated as follows

311 hours paid during the reviewed period -210 hours credited per board decision

101 hours owedover paid 101 houm x $1735 per hour ~ $1 75235

Please remit payment in the amount of $31 0065 within 10 days of receipt of this letter If you wish to make payment arrangements you must do so immediately and payment must be received by the tenth day from when you receive this letter Time is of the essence in responding to this matter

We appreciate your cooperation and have determined by motion oflhe MCD board that this matter will be elosed upon payment in full ofllie amount owing No further action will be taken by the Macomb Conservation District in relation to this forensic audit upon satisfaction oflhe $310065 owed

Sincerely 24

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

Improvements in MCD Operations

Computer software training Colleen Reynolds EA of Garry Associates Inc Richland Michigan was recommended to us by Kip Miller (Michigan Department of Agriculture) and Nancy Szikszay (Michigan Association ofConservation Districts) as an expert in Quick Books She is aware of the special needs of conservation districts Her help will be vital as we become familiar with Quick book accounting needs and requirements She has worked with many other Conservation Districts across Michigan

Credit card Policies for keeping and using the credit card must be improved The credit card should be kept in a secured place in the office It should not be carried as a personal card It should only be used with the permission of the Board of Directors in situations where it is needed for approved purchases

Income Receipts Outdated 2 copy receipts were being used for income in the office and at tree sales We will now be using a 3 copy numbered receipt for all transactions

Expenditure receipts The Board needs to be more diligent in verify all receipts A system needs to be developed where the board members review receipts before or during each monthly meeting

Single signature checks All checks require 2 signatures

Filing of minutes Minutes will be indexed and filed with numbered pages in each month

25

The Macomb Conservation District regrets that these problems took place We have made a sincere effort to resolve this situation We have found this to be a learning experience that will improve our district

We are satisfied that this is a positive outcome It will allow us to move forward in our efforts to serve the community and further our cause to help others make wise choices about the use of our natural resources Our hope is to move forward with activities such as workshops and educational events including pond management poster contest for elementary tree selection and maintenance students envirothon for teenagers bi-annual tree sale

WHIP to serve property owners who wish to improve wildlife habitat EQIP with technical service through NRCS providing cost-share As well as providing information and referrals to the general public

J The Macomb County Circuit Court is embarking on the implementation of e-filing as part of its initiative to expand the use

sessions focused on court re-engineering projects e-filing judicial workflow challenges security and control Sessions

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in

I are led by personnel fro the Courts Clerks Office and Information Technology Departments at many of the entities who

Iare leading the way in implementing this new technology This in the trenches approach is an excellent opJXJrtunity for

I Macomb County to gain invaluable knowledge of the processes and methods used by other IT and judicial entities in
