SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND .1USTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize relief of cash shortage of $100 . 00 in the Treasurer-Tax
Collector' s Office, as recommended by the District Attorney and the
Auditor-Controller.
BACKGROUND:
The Tax Collector' s Office sustained a $100 . 00 cash shortage in October.
On October 12 , 1987 , the shortage occurred during the normal course of that
business day. All records for the work done on that day have been
thoroughly checked, and it is apparent that the error must have been
committed in cash handling.
The following is a statement of the person suffering the cash shortage:
"On October 12 , 1987 , I started balancing Drawer #1 in
preparation for my deposit. In counting my cash payments, I
discovered I was out of balance by $100 . 00 . I immediately
contacted my immediate supervisor, Mrs . Nancy Webster, and she
arrived at the same figure. "
"I certify to the best of my knowledge that the declaration I
made is true and correct. Lee Ellingson" .
The matter was investigated by the District Attorney and the
Auditor-Controller. Having found no evidence of either fraud or
negligence, it is recommended that the Treasurer-Tax Collector be relieved
from the shortage and the amount be deemed a charge against the General
Fund.
