DATE: July 13, 1993 �- `-_ "� County
SUBJECT: Relief of Cash Shortages - Health Services Dept. Cafeteria Receipts
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Relieve Health Services Department Cafeteria of cash shortage in the amount of $290.00 pursuant
to Government Code Section 29390 as recommended by the Auditor-Controller.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On February 19, 1993, the Health Services Department was informed that the evening cafeteria
receipts for February 18, 1993 were missing. All appropriate procedures and precautions were
followed by the cashier. The deposit drop was witnessed by a lead person. When the Nutrition
Services Director went to make the deposit, she discovered the money bag was not in the safe.
Hospital Security was called right away. They immediately contacted the Martinez Police and an
investigation was done. The shortage was determined to have been caused by theft by a person or
persons unknown.
So far as can be determined, the theft was not caused by negligence or fraud. All possible efforts to
ascertain the amount of the shortage have been exhausted. New procedures have been implemented
to avoid the occurrence of a similar incident.
The Auditor-Controller has reviewed the documentation as to how the shortage occurred and has
recommended that relief of the shortage be granted.
