How is the state audit at the Village of Ferrelview going I often get this question as Im out and about trying to avoid thinking about Ferrelview. Bainbridge Intellectual Property 9Th Edition more. Heres what I know so far. The state auditors began with the municipal court portion of the examination. Im sure this has been an interesting situation, as part of this process is dealing with the tickets issued by the police department, which means dealing with the villages controversial police chief, Daniel Clayton. Word on the street is that Clayton has not exactly been easy for the auditors to communicate with, which comes as no surprise. A meeting between the auditors and Clayton is scheduled for this week, as the auditors try to get their hands on all the traffic tickets, etc. Meanwhile, some watchful eyes tell me the auditors have been carrying boxes of items out and loading them in their cars, which is a sign the audit team is grabbing the information it needs and doing most of its work off site. Facebook announced today that it sold 100,000 worth of ads to a sketchy network of fake Russian accounts between June 2015 to May 2017, a period spanning the 2016. Even more Account Options.

Probably a good idea for the auditors to be away from potential chaotic interruptions at Ferrelview City Hall while studying documents. Its likely the boxes auditors have retrieved contain items such as bank statements, meeting minutes, etc. My guess is theyll be hitting it hard soon, now that the municipal court portion of the audit is about completed. From my firsthand observations over the past couple of years I have no doubt there are many procedural issues inside the citys operation that will be identified and mentioned as concerns by state auditors. Whether they find financial mismanagement remains to be seen, of course. If I were a betting person wait, Im not I know which side would be getting my money. Of course keep in mind financial mismanagement doesnt necessarily mean criminal activity, there is a difference. Regardless, the final report by the auditor will be an interesting read, will it notIn the meantime, youll recall from a Landmark story printed Aug. February that will deal with allegations against the Ferrelview police chief.

Not a great week of news for music fans of my era. First, the sad news of the death of Tom Petty, one of my favorite artists.

Taxpayers at Parkville, open your wallets. The City of Parkville recently had a comprehensive compensation and benefits study performed to determine appropriate salary rates for all positions within the city. Ive never seen one of these self serving studies come back with the conclusion that, hey, the level of pay for your government staff is spot on, no increases are suggested. Or hey, your people are overpaid. Have you A representative from the group that conducted the study for Parkville recently provided some findings to city officials. The Austin Peters Group I almost typed Austin Powers says the citys pay ranges were in the 4. And the group recommends the city adjust the ranges every year per different indexes, which is code for saying give the city employees raises every year just because we have turned 1. This kind of governing is entertaining to watch because it is out of touch with what happens in the real world. And by real world I mean in privately owned businesses. Remember back in the day when Platte County would give cost of living increases of around three percent or more even in years when economic indicators showed there was basically zero increase in the cost of livingThose were funny days. As I recall the last time my Between the Lines team of examiners took a look at salaries in the City of Parkville there were around five city workers making more than 8. That doesnt sound undercompensated for a city with a population of around 6,0. Its the talk of the internet. Or something.

TubePROSECUTOR ZAHND HAS FILED AN ETHICS COMPLAINT AGAINST JOHN OCONNOR Written 92. Welcome back to Between the Lines. Lets get rolling as we wonder whether this weekend during the national anthem the NFL players will sit, dance, cry, or use their smartphones to check on their millions. Because I mention it every year, longtime readers know of my infatuation with fall. Actually its more than an infatuation. Finally some recent late summervery early fall hot temperatures are gone. Leap Office 2000 For Windows 7 64 Bit. On Tuesday, temperatures more in line with what were supposed to have this time of year arrived and as we head to press Wednesday the air temperature is a fantastic 5. I have the doors open. Bring it on. Just for fun Im going to pumpkin spice the rest of this column. Let me know how it tastes. I want to take a minute to say how refreshing it is to see a group of county commissioners not afraid to get their fingernails dirty and dig into ways to make things better for taxpayers. It would have been easy for Ron Schieber, Dagmar Wood and John Elliott to simply accept another 2. Instead, the commissions reaction has been one of pursuing a better course of action. The employee benefits consultant is getting canned because, as Schieber puts it, the status quo isnt good enough. Theyll search for a better solution than simply accepting drastic rate increases and claiming its too late, our hands are tied, thats the condition of the health insurance market right now, blah blah blah. As Elliott said Monday The days of blindly paying rising costs and higher premiums without consideration of other options are over. As a taxpayer, youve got to love that attitude. A working county commission. What a concept. A refreshing change. I sat in on a court hearing Tuesday in which this little news nugget came to life Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd and assistant prosecutor Chris Seufert have filed an ethics complaint against John OConnor, the criminal attorney who previously filed an ethics complaint against Zahnd that is making its way through the system. Zahnds ethics complaint against OConnor prompted OConnor once again to attempt to get Zahnds office removed as prosecutor in the Grayden Denham murder case. As we talked about here last week, OConnors initial attempt at this failed when Judge Glen Dietrich ruled against OConnor.
