Director .of General Services Costa
DATE: February 15, 1.990 Camey
SUBJECT: Relief of Cash` Shortage in General Services Department
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND .JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE relief of a cash shortage in the amount of $118.34 ,
as recommended by the County Auditor-Controller.
BACKGROUND:
On Monday, February 5, 1990, it was discovered by Tom Mathis,
Fleet Materials `'Manager and custodian of the Revolving Fund for
the Fleet Division of the General Services Department, that
$64. 34 in cash and two bridge toll books ($27 each) had been
stolen along with the locked cash box from his locked office.
The theft occurred sometime between five P.M. on Thursday,
February. 1, and,,`, the time of discovery on the morning of Monday,
February 5. The Fleet Division is closed on Fridays.
The Martinez Police were called, and a . report taken. I do not
believe that negligence contributed to the theft, since the
office was locked, the building was locked, and the alarm was
set. We will attempt to ascertain who may have gained access
to the building using the alarm code. The cash box will be
relocated as well.
Meantime, we request thatthe stolen funds and the amount of
the toll books, a total of $118. 34, be replaced as soon as
possible.
The case has been investigated by the Auditor-Controller and the
District Attorney' s Office and no evidence of either fraud or
negligence was found. Both Departments recommend that relief be
granted for theloss.
