The Honorable Danny L. Kolhage
Clerk of the Circuit Court
RE: Audit Report of Monroe County Technical
Services Department Purchasing Practices
Dear Mr. Kolhage:
The Clerk's Internal Audit Department has completed the audit of the Technical Services
Department Purchasing Practices. The purpose of the audit was to assess compliance with state
and local laws and contracts, whether policies and procedures are followed and properly
document the system and whether internal controls have been established and are being followed.
We would like to thank the Technical Services Department for their cooperation while conducting
the audit.
The County Administrator requested the Clerk's Office to perform the audit after issues were
reported to County Management by Technical Services staff that purchasing policies and
procedures were being circumvented. The staff's knowledge of internal control and correct
purchasing procedure within the Department brought the problem to the attention of
management. Due to the complexity of the constantly changing technology industry and the
substantial expenditures involved, internal controls need to be continuously monitored and
improved.
The audit was conducted by Patricia Sutton, Internal Auditor.
The accompanying audit report is provided for your information. Additional copies of the report
will be provided upon your request.
Sincerely,
} ( --fl,

III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Technical Services Department Function
The Technical Services Department is responsible for Public Broadcast Facilities,
Telecommunications and Computer Services for Monroe County. The Technical Services
Department was the responsibility of the County Administrator until late December 2002. At that
time, the Technical Services Department became the responsibility of the Division Director of
Management Services. The Technical Services Department had twelve employees during the audit
period.
The Computer Services Function has the responsibility to have the knowledge and ability to
analyze, design, plan and oversee all local and wide area network installations, providing technical
specifications and development of technical standards. Computer Services also analyzes requests
for new computer hardware, software and provides information to County departments on
purchases and vendors.
Channel 16 is the Public Broadcast media for Monroe County. Their primary responsibility is to
televise County meetings. Meetings of the Board of County Commissioners, Planning
Commission, Code Enforcement, Monroe County School Board, Annual Budget Hearings, as well
as the Marathon City Council and other specially scheduled County meetings are broadcast live.
When not broadcasting County meetings, Channel 16 airs a video bulletin board and NOAA
weather.
Financial Information
The Technical Services adopted budget for fiscal year 2003 was $1,467,817, The Capital Outlay
Expenditure Budget for the Technical Services Department for fiscal year 2003 was $49,892.
According to Administrative Instruction 4404.1, County Computer and Internet Usage,
"Information Systems has the sole responsibility for the approval of Purchase Orders and ordering
of All computer hardware, application software, software licenses, copiers or multifunction devices
and all other technology related purchases. Information Systems has the sole authority and
responsibility to install, modify, or delete technological equipment, computer operating systems and
applications software. No other County employee is authorized, without specific advance written
approval from Information Systems, to install, delete, or modify in any way County computer
equipment or software".
The former Director of Technical Services had direct control of the Technical Services Budget of
$1,467,817, but also recommended and contracted for all County department technology
expenditures. In addition to established vendors being used, the former Director of Technical
Services added twenty-six new vendors. The total expenditures for the new vendors from June
2002 through August 2003 was $452,863.78.

IV. Audit Conclusions:
AI. The County paid $26,640 to Innovative Web and Video Design (lWVD) for 111 Citrix
Xpe licenses. The President of IWVD issued a check totaling $9,155 to the former
Director of Technical Services to obtain some of the licenses for the County. Three other
checks totaling $816 were issued by IWVD to the former Director of Technical Services
and appears to be approximately 5% profit on the purchase of Citrix licenses from IWVD.
A2. During the audit, we were unable to locate, identify and determine whether and if all the
176 licenses the County paid for had actually been received. This is because of incomplete
information regarding license numbers and/or serial numbers of the licenses paid for. It is
possible the County is still due 51 licenses.
A3. County departments were approving purchases of Citrix Xpe licenses not used in their
departments, The departments purchased a total of 176 licenses at an approximate cost of
$49,500 at the direction of the Technical Services Department and only 20 of these
licenses have been activated.
BI. A contract for $49,040 for Internet Services executed by the former Director of Technical
Services is in violation of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners Purchasing
Policies, Chapter 2 - Authorities and Duties.
B2. A contract for $15,076 for unnecessary Internet Services at the Marathon Government
Center was executed by the former Director of Technical Services. This contract was also
in violation of Monroe County Commissioners Purchasing Policies, Chapter 2 -
Authorities and Duties. The services would not work properly for the facility and the
service should have been discontinued in late December 2002.
B3. BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement and BellSouth Letter of Agency were
executed by the former Director of Technical Services. The Agreements allowed the
former Director to obtain additional County services based on his sole discretion.
C1. The dedicated BellSouth Technician was not used in cabling projects resulting In
unnecessary labor expenses paid of$5,382.
C2. The Technical Services Department approved the Request to Purchase, issued to
Crosspoint Solutions, Inc., in the amount of$9,985.72 for cabling at the County Attorney's
Office. This purchase order was subsequently voided by the Purchasing Department
because a second quote wasn't received. A second quote was then provided by BellSouth
for $5,926.49 and then inflated per instructions by the former Director of Technical
Services. The second quote was inflated to $9,550.17 as the former Director instructed.
Equipment totaling $1,875.01 was bought and charged to the County Attorney's Office
which was not installed or intended for use in their office. The equipment was purchased
4
for Technical Services and is installed in the computer room.
DI. Adjustments and corrections to the audio visual equipment project for the Marathon EOC
contract approved by BOCC on February 19, 2003 in the amount of $47,670.03 was
returned to the April 16, 2003 BOCC meeting for approval. The contract resubmitted had
significant changes, although it was submitted giving the appearance of the original
contract.
D2. The original contract amount for the audio visual equipment after implementation was
reduced by $12,782.71 and would have been an additional savings for the County. The
former Director of Technical Services changed the scope of the project and added an
additional unauthorized amount of$12,782.71 to the audio visual equipment project.
E. The former Director of Technical Services established an asset account, Inventory -
Equipment & Supplies, to purchase items in larger quantities for volume savings and/or to
have common items available in stock to service work orders. The Technical Service
Department did not provide the Clerk's Finance Department timely or accurate billings for
the inventory.
FI. Equipment purchased for the Storage Area Network was expected to be $29,323. The
former Director of Technical Services split these equipment costs over several purchase
orders and created the part description "HP Storage Unit 10GB". He instructed the vendor
to use the part description with a price of $300 each for a quantity of 45 on three invoices
instead of listing the actual equipment costs.
G. The former Director of Technical Services supplied documentation to County
Administration regarding contributions made to the Christmas Party provided for the
Technical Services staff. This documentation did not include a $200 gift from Richard
Spencer of Comark/Insight Inc.
HI. A check payable to Monroe County for $806.25 from SBC Datacomm was returned to
SBC and the former Director of Technical Services requested that a credit memo be issued
in its place. The former Director requested the purchase of an item and enough quantity to
use the entire credit.
H2. The auditors reviewed detail reports provided by MoreDirect, Inc. The report had several
credit memos that were not entered into the Clerk's finance records. A balance of $100 is
due Monroe County.
I. During the period of September 2002 to August 2003, the County purchased 74 new
desktop computers and 9 notebook computers for approximately $141,000. Howard
Computers established special pricing guidelines based on a projected purchase of 200
new desktop computers. Expenditures of this magnitude should be carefully planned,
documented and approved.
5
J. The Social Services Department had upgraded their computer system and had eleven
computers that the Director of Social Services wanted to delete from the fixed assets
inventory, transfer to the Technical Services Department and ultimately donate to the
Senior Citizen Centers. The former Director of Technical Services requested maintenance
personnel to dispose of the computers in the dumpsters before following procedures for
disposal of surplus equipment.
K. It was determined from e-mails between SDD Systems and the former Director of
Technical Services that he was working on a consulting basis for SDD Systems during
County working hours.

v. Audit Findings
A. Citrix Licenses
1. Employee doing business with their own governmental agency
Findin~:
The County paid for 111 Citrix Xpe licenses for various County departments at $240 per
license from a new vendor, Innovative Web and Video Design (IWVD), based on the
recommendation of the former Director of Technical Services. Another vendor,
Solarcom, LLC, agreed to provide Citrix licenses at the same price, although this quote
was not submitted to the Purchasing Department. The licenses were for the
implementation of a cost efficient and standardized network system for the County.
The County paid a total amount of $26,640 to IWVD for the 111 licenses invoiced from
IWVD. The owner of IWVD and the former Director of Technical Services were both
employees at Hawk's Cay Resort until the former Director joined the County in June
2002. According to interviews with the President of IWVD, the former Director
requested the licenses be invoiced in small increments and IWVD anticipated a 5% profit.
IWVD billed the County on August 9, 2002 for 40 Citrix licenses totaling $9,600 on
invoice #102. The invoice was approved by the Growth Management Director and the
Coordinator of Budget and Personnel. On September 10, 2002, the County check was
deposited in IWVD's checking account. On September 13, 2003, IWVD kept $445 as
profit and issued a check for $9,155 to Todd Erickson, former Director of Technical
Services. According to interviews with the President of IWVD, the former Director of
Technical Services was to supply licenses to the County with the $9,155 payment issued
to the former Director.
IWVD received another two payments from the County in September 2003, totaling
$6,000 for 25 licenses invoiced (check #072984 for $3,120 pertaining to licenses, and
check #073364 for $2,880). After receipt of the payment, IWVD issued check #2015
totaling $300 to Todd Erickson for what appears to be a 5% profit on these purchases.
In October 2003, IWVD received another three payments from the County totaling
$10,320 for 43 licenses invoiced. After receipt of payment, IWVD issued two additional
checks to Todd Erickson, check #2017 for $204 (5% profit on County checks #203739 for
$240 and #073705 for $3,840) and check #2017 for $312 (5% profit on County check
#203843 for $6,240). See Exhibit A - Analysis of Citrix License Transactions and
Checks Issued to Former Director of Technical Services.
Section 112.313 (3), Florida Statutes, prohibits public employees from selling goods to
their own agency and Section 112.313 (4), Florida Statutes, prohibits employees from
accepting payment when such employee knows it was given to influence an action in
7
which the employee was expected to participate in his or her official capacity. This
matter was referred to the State Attorney's Office.
Recommendation(s):
1. County Management should pursue restitution.
County Administrator's Response:
1. The issue of the Citrix licenses is quite complicated. It does appear, based upon
research, that the County did not receive all that it paid for. County management will
develop, in conjunction with the County Attorney's office, a demand letter seeking
restitution and will aggressively follow-up to be sure that restitution occurs.
8
2. Unaccounted for Citrix licenses purchased
Findin~:
During the audit, we were unable to locate, identify and determine where and if the 176
licenses the County had paid for had actually been received. In September 2003, the
Momoe County Sheriff s technical staff conducted a physical search for the Citrix
licenses. They were able to physically locate 105 in the Technical Services Department in
Key West and they were informed another 15 were in the Marathon office. Technical
Services staff in Marathon informed the auditors they did not have Citrix licenses in the
Marathon office. As of September 2003, of the 176 licenses purchased by the County, 20
licenses had been activated, although the license number for the 20 was not one of the
packages located in the physical search. It was determined that 65 licenses of the 105
were purchased from Howard Computers in packages of 5 and were properly accounted
for and received.
IWVD indicated they had invoiced Momoe County for 105 licenses when they actually
invoiced and were paid for III licenses. See Exhibit A - Analysis of Citrix License
Transactions and Checks Issued to Former Director of Technical Services. IWVD
informed the auditors that IWVD paid for 60 licenses that were purchased through
InsightlComark and IWVD stated the former Director of Technical Services was to supply
45 licenses to the County. This matter was referred to the State Attorney's Office.
Review of the vendor report from InsightlComark indicated 60 licenses had been billed
and shipped to Momoe County and paid for by IWVD and the former Director of
Technical Services. IWVD paid $10,082.08 for 40 licenses on invoice #92244873 and
the former Director paid $4,994.00 for 20 licenses on invoice #9210437. See Exhibit B -
Comark Invoices and Payment Information for Momoe County.
IWVD informed the auditors that another 20 licenses were purchased for Momoe County
and IWVD paid $5,396.31, which included sales tax of $374.48. However,
InsightlComark had billed and shipped the licenses to Hawk's Cay Resort. See Exhibit C
_ Comark Invoice and Payment Information for Hawk's Cay Resort.
The former Director of Technical Services provided a listing of license numbers
belonging to the County. The list contained license numbers for 3 packages of 20
licenses, for a total of 60. The auditors were able to determine that 20 of the licenses
were identified in the physical search, 20 licenses were activated and were not found in
the physical search and 20 of the licenses could not be identified.
Because of incomplete information regarding license numbers and/or serial numbers of
the licenses paid for, the auditors were unable to determine the actual licenses owned by
the County. There appears to be a discrepancy in the number of licenses paid for by the
County and it is possible the County is still due 51 licenses. However, due to the complex
nature of software licensing the information is inconclusive.
9
Recommendation( s ):
1. County Management should perform an audit of all licensed software installed on
County computers to ensure that the County is in compliance with Federal Copyright
Laws.
2. Adequate records for software and license purchases must be maintained to properly
account for licensed software and software inventory.
3. County Management should seek reimbursement for licenses not received.
County Administrator's Response:
1. The Administration is aware of the issue of missing Citrix licenses. It will certainly
be a primary goal to identify which licenses are actually in the County's possession
and which ones either never arrived or have been misplaced. The Administration will
request the assistance of the Sheriff s technical section in tracking down such
problems. There will be an aggressive campaign, as identified in the last response, to
seek appropriate reimbursement. Policies and procedures will be developed to be sure
that such a void does not occur again.
10
3. County departments approving purchase of Citrix licenses not used in department
Findine::
The Technical Services Department issued a memo informing County departments that all
new computer purchases required the purchase of certain software. See Exhibit D -
Software Requirements. The departments issued purchase orders for the Citrix licenses,
which is referred to as Xpe for $240.00 in the software requirements memo. The County
departments purchased a total of 176 Citrix licenses at an approximate cost of $49,500
(111 licenses from IWVD and 65 from Howard Computers). Technical Services provided
a listing of the departmental purchases to the auditors for the 111 licenses from IWVD.
See Exhibit E - Citrix Xpe Purchases.
Citrix licenses have not been implemented for usage in all departments. One example
occurred in the Growth Management Department. The department had been invoiced for
40 Citrix Licenses and paid $9,600 to IWVD. See Exhibit F - IWVD Invoice for Growth
Management for Citrix License Purchase. The purchase was for use with the
implementation of the Pentamation program, however the Technical Services staff
informed the auditors that Growth Management was using Ataman software rather than
Citrix to provide the same technical needs.
It was determined of the 176 Citrix licenses the County was invoiced and paid for, only
20 licenses had been activated. In October 2003, the Technical Service staff informed the
auditors the only departments utilizing the Citrix licenses were Social Services, the
County Administrator's Office, and the Key West Library.
According to Momoe County Administrative Instruction 4404.1, "All departments are
required to purchase the appropriate software licenses that are necessary for use by their
employees. Technical Services will determine and account for all software licenses in
keeping with Federal Copyright Laws". Licensed software purchases should include
verification of the license number and/or serial number before the purchase is approved
for payment.
Recommendation(s):
1. Technical Services should develop procedures to account for all licensed software.
2. Technical Services should develop and have approved a long range plan to avoid
unnecessary expenditures.
County Administrator's Response:
1. After Technical Services audits all County equipment for licenses and software; we
will develop a procedure for keeping track of all additional licenses and software
purchased. No purchase orders should be paid for licenses without the license number
appearing on the invoice.
2. County Management is aware that a long-range plan is needed. During the time when
we had an acting Director, a plan was prepared but was put on hold when we sought
11
to hire a permanent Director. That was an assignment given to the new Director and it
was never finalized for presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. County
Management will prepare a long-range plan for Board of County Commissioner
approval during 2004.
12
B. BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement
1. Contract for $49,040 for Internet Services executed by the former Director of
Technical Service in violation of the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners Purchasing Policies
Findin~:
The former Director of Technical Services executed the BellSouth Business Services
Master Agreement on September 20, 2002 for Internet Services. According to an e-mail
from BellSouth personnel, the BellSouth Business Service Master Agreement (BBMSA)
is an umbrella agreement for all services purchased from BellSouth. The monthly
recurring charge was $751 per month ($18,024 per contract) plus an installation charge of
$800. The contract term was for twenty-four months.
On 11/19/02 before activation of the contact described above, the former Director of
Technical Services upgraded the internet access speed from 512 Kbps to 3 Mbps (PVC
Option). The monthly recurring charges increased to $2,010 per month and a total of
$48,240 for the contract. The order was signed by the former Director of Technical
Services on the line which states "Agreed to by Monroe County BOCC". See Exhibit G -
BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement and 9/23/02 and 11/19/02 Order
Summaries.
This contract and the related upgrade were executed in violation of the Monroe County
Purchasing Policy, Chapter 2 - Authority & Duties. Section A. Board of County
Commissioners states the following:
The Procurement Policy Office consists of the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners which is hereinafter referred to as the BOCe.
2. The BOCC shall decide all matters of policy including those referred to it by the Chief
Procurement Officer.
2. No contract in excess of $1,000 for goods or services may be awarded without the
approval of the Policy Office.
The contract and the related upgrade were also in violation of Monroe County Purchasing
Policy, Chapter 3 - Competitive Bid Process as follows:
Any purchase or contract estimated to cost $25,000.01 or greater shall be awarded by
competitive sealed bid.
Section F. Award of Bid Contract
The Mayor, when authorized by majority vote of the BOCC, shall execute formal
contracts having a binding effect upon the County.
Recommendation:
13
1. The Technical Services Department should follow the Momoe County Purchasing
Policy.
2. County Management should refer this contract to the County Attorney's Office for
reVIew.
County Administrator's Response:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit
was requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about
violations of our policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the
violations discovered in this audit. The policy and our internal procedures are being
examined for necessary changes to improve our control over purchasing. It is
apparent that the former Director of Technical Services signed the Master Agreement
in clear violation of County policy.
2. The Master Agreement is a mechanism where changes can be made to facilitate the
smooth operation of phone systems and equipment for the county. Having a contact
person to authorize additions and subtractions to this contract of a minor nature is one
way to facilitate phone service within the County. The policy will be reviewed for
additional clarification and procedures to prevent changes in total dollar amount that
exceed signature authority. This contract will be referred to the County Attorney to
see what action needs to be taken to conform to the Purchasing Policy.
14
2. Contract for $15,076 for unnecessary Internet Services in Marathon executed by the
former Director of Technical Service
Findin~:
The former Director of Technical Services executed an order form for Internet Services at
the Marathon Government Center. The monthly recurring charge is $599 per month
($14,376 per contract) plus an additional installation charge of $800. The contract term is
for twenty-four months. See Exhibit H - Order Form for Marathon Internet Services.
It was determined the services would not work properly and the service should have been
disconnected in late December 2002. In an e-mail from Technical Services staff in July
2003, the charge was questioned and a credit was requested for the last five billings at $599
per month. In an e-mail from the former Director of Technical Services to BellSouth he
indicated that it was to be turned off with no contract penalty. The e-mail indicated that the
former Director was aware a contract had been created and executed.
This contract and the related upgrade were executed in violation of the Monroe County
Purchasing Policy, Chapter 2 - Authority & Duties. Section A. Board of County
Commissioners states the following:
The Procurement Policy Office consists of the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners which is hereinafter referred to as the BOCC.
1. The BOCC shall decide all matters of policy including those referred to it by the Chief
Procurement Officer.
2. No contract in excess of $1,000 for goods or services may be awarded without the
approval of the Policy Office.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow the Monroe County Purchasing
Policy.
2. County Management should ensure the service is removed and the credit is received
from BellSouth.
County Administrator's Response:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit
was requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about
violations of our policies. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the
violations discovered in this audit. The policy and our internal procedures are being
examined for necessary changes to improve our control over purchasing. It is
apparent that the former Director of Technical Services signed the order form in clear
violation of County policy.
2. Service has been turned off and we will check with County Attorney to see if we are
able to obtain restitution for service that did not have proper authorization.

3. The former Director of Technical Services designated himself as Agent for Monroe
County BOCC to add services to BellSouth contracts
Findine:
BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement is an instrument used as an umbrella
agreement for additional purchase contracts from BellSouth to reduce the amount of
paperwork involved when ordering additional services. The former Director of Technical
Services established the agreement in September 2002 and was provided the opportunity
to order additional County services based on his sole discretion. The former Director
obtained a contract for Internet Service in the amount of $49,040 in Key West, Internet
Service in the amount of $15,076 in Marathon and a Virtual Personal Network (VPN)
contract in the amount of $28,646.
During negotiations for the services from BellSouth and also changes in the monthly
billings, the Technical Services staff inquired about the authorization of the additional
services from BellSouth. It was determined the former Director executed the agreement
in the name of Monroe County BOCC without the BOCC approval. See Exhibit G -
BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement.
In addition to signing the Master Agreement, the former Director provided BellSouth a
Letter of Agency that authorized him to place and coordinate orders for communications
services and facilities and/or otherwise deal with and perform all ancillary and related
matters. The document was provided to BellSouth on County letterhead signed by the
former Director of Technical Services designating himself as the Authorized Agent for
the Monroe County BOCC. See Exhibit I - Letter of Agency/Authorization.
Recommendation:
1. County Management should monitor manager's and employee's activities for
compliance with Monroe County policies and procedures.
2. County Management should refer this contract to the County Attorney's Office for
reVIew.
County Administrator's Response:
1. When the monitoring process was beginning to reveal potential discrepancies, the
County Administrator requested the audit to get to the full of extent of violations. The
former Director of Technical Services intentionally signed this Agreement and took
subsequent actions in violation of County policies and procedures.
2. The Master Agreement is a mechanism where changes can be made to facilitate the
smooth operation of phone systems and equipment for the county. Having a contact
person to authorize additions and subtractions to this contract of a minor nature is one
way to facilitate phone service within the county. The policy will be reviewed for
additional clarification and procedures to prevent changes in total dollar amount that
exceed our signature authority. This contract will be referred to the County Attorney
to see what action needs to be taken to conform to the Purchasing Policy.

C. Cabling Projects
1. Dedicated BellSouth Technician not used in cabling projects resulting
in unnecessary labor expenses paid of $5,382.
Findin~:
The County has a contract in the amount of $163,200 with BellSouth Communication
Systems, LLC for a Dedicated Technician to work on the County's telephone lines. The
contract states "The Dedicated Technician shall be primarily to provide the system
warranty/maintentance work and secondarily, with time permitting, to provide incidental
labor for moves, adds and changes". Traditionally, cable installation for Monroe County
has been performed by the BellSouth Dedicated Technician.
A new vendor, Crosspoint Solutions, Inc., was chosen by the former Director of Technical
Services to provide cable installation for several different projects within the County
beginning in March 2003. See Exhibit J - Memo From Former Director of Technical
Service on Change in Computer Cabling Procedure. The President of Crosspoint
Solutions, Inc., informed the auditors he had performed work at Hawk's Cay Resort and
was referred to the County by Innovative Web and Video Design. The former Director of
Technical Services and the owner of Innovative Web and Video Design worked together
as employees of Hawk's Cay Resort. The vendor was paid $9,981.97 for labor and
materials. Of the total paid $5,382 was labor to install the cable lines. The Dedicated
Technician stated he would have performed the cable installations at no additional labor
cost to the County. See Exhibit K - Letters from BellSouth Dedicated Technician.
Recommendation( s ):
1. County Management should confirm the necessity for private contractors before
approving their use.
County Administrator's Response:
1. The contract with BellSouth Communication states that "The dedicated Technician
shall be primarily to provide system warranty/maintenance work and secondarily, with
time permitting, to provide incidental labor for moves, adds and changes". This
wording leaves open the option of having this work done by other contractors. This
letter, Exhibit J, clearly indicates that the intention was to hire additional contractors
to complete the necessary wiring. When questioned by management about this
practice, it was explained by the department head that it should help accomplish the
wiring at an accelerated pace to complete long-overdue projects. Management is
always trying to get the best service at the lowest prices, but sometimes service is the
guiding priority and not price. Hiring outside labor is not uncommon for county
projects. It is, and should continue to be, a management prerogative within
purchasing guidelines, to secure the services needed. However, in this case, there
appears to be a relationship between the former Director of Technical Services and
vendors utilized which lead to inappropriate business decisions.
17
2. Second quote originally not provided for cable project and then inflated per
instructions from the former Director of Technical Services
Findin~:
The Technical Services Department approved the Request to Purchase, issued to
Crosspoint Solutions, Inc., in the amount of $9,985.72 for cabling at the County
Attorney's Office. Purchase order 238545 was subsequently voided by the Purchasing
Department because a second quote wasn't received. See Exhibit L - Purchase Order
238545, Request to Purchase and Quote. Monroe County BOCC Purchasing Policies,
Chapter 2 - requires purchasing amounts from $5,000 to $10,000 to have two or more
written quotes.
The former Director was informed that a second quote was necessary by the Purchasing
Department and he then requested the BellSouth Dedicated Technician to quote the
project. The original quote from the BellSouth Dedicated Technician was for a total of
$5,926.49. Crosspoint's quote included $3,268 of labor to install, the quote from the
Technician included no labor charges. The Technician stated he was instructed by the
former Director of Technical Services to issue a higher quote because the County
Attorney was willing to spend $10,000 on the project. The next quote to the former
Director was for $7,368.17. Again, the Technician was told to increase the quote. The
final quote given to the former Director was $7,930.17 for listed materials, $1,500 in
miscellaneous materials and $120 for shipping. The quote totaled $9,550.17 and the work
was performed by BellSouth. See Exhibit K - Letters from BellSouth Dedicated
Technician.
The Technician was later told by the former Director to order a black box switch part
#KV6112FA for $1,875.01 using the funds for miscellaneous material. The black box
was not used by the County Attorney's Office and was installed in the computer room at
1200 Truman Avenue for use by the Technical Services Department. Vendors should not
be instructed to inflate their quotes or purchase material that is not needed for the project.
Fixed assets become the responsibility of the department purchasing. The Clerk's
Finance Department needs accurate information to record fixed assets and their location.
Recommendation(s):
1. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing
Policies.
2. The fixed assets charged to the County Attorney's Office should be transferred to the
Technical Services Department.
County Administrator's Response:
1. It is critical that all departments follow our policies to uphold the public trust. The
audit was requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about
violations of policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations
18
discovered in this audit. The policy and our internal procedures are being examined
for necessary changes to improve our control over purchasing. This is another
example of the former Director intentionally ignoring County policy, appropriate
procedures and good business practice.
2. Management concurs with the audit's recommendation.
19
D. Audio Visual Innovations Contract
1. Adjustments to Audio Visual Innovations contract
Findine:
The former Director of Technical Services submitted a contract to the Monroe County
BOCC on February 19, 2003 to replace the existing visual control system at Marathon
EOC for a total project cost of $47,670.03 stating it was an emergency. The contract was
approved as Agenda Item D40. See Exhibit M - BOCC Agenda Item Summary D40,
February 19, 2003. The Assistant County Attorney returned the contract to Technical
Services stating "Please be advised that the Insight Global Finance, Inc. Contract placed
before the County Commission at the February 19, 2003 meeting is not the same as the
documents which were submitted to the Clerk of Court for execution". See Exhibit N -
March 7, 2003 Memorandum.
A new quote for equipment costs of $43,495.37 was received because the original quote
was nearly a year old. See Exhibit 0 - Revised March 9, 2003 Proposal. The auditors
were informed that the former Director of Technical Services instructed his staff to
contact Audio Visual Innovations and have them include a line item for a contingency
amount of $4,174.66 and maintain the amount originally approved by the BOCC of
$47,670.03. See Exhibit P - E-mail to Audio Visual Innovations and March 9, 2003
Adjusted Proposal Summary by Former Director of Technical Services. It was the former
Director's intention of utilizing all funds available for the project. The changed proposal
was resubmitted to the BOCC on April 16, 2003 and created the appearance the original
contract had remained the same, except for an additional $10,678.17 due to interest
expense for leasing. The resubmitted contract was approved for $58,348.20. See Exhibit
Q - BOCC Agenda Item C27, April 16, 2003.
Vendors should not be instructed to change quotes and add a contingency amount. A
thorough review by management is required for all agenda items. According to Monroe
County Administrative Instruction 1007.4 (2), Purpose - The Administrative Instruction is
to define and promulgate the direct responsibilities of the Division Directors regarding the
preparation, submission, and presentation of the MCBOCC agenda items falling within
their purview to insure that said agenda items are complete, comprehensive, accurate,
properly formatted and timely submitted.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing
Policies.
County Administrator's Response:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit
was requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about
violations of policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations
discovered in this audit. The policy and our internal procedures are being examined
20
for necessary changes to improve our control over purchasing. Once again, the former
Director of Technical Services was violating County policy and procedure to achieve
whatever he viewed to be his call. In that effort, he apparently sought to misrepresent
facts to the County Commission.
21
2. Change orders for Audio Visual Innovations contract
Findine:
On June 5, 2003, the audio visual project was completed and accepted by Monroe County
Technical Services staff. See Exhibit R - Limited Warranty Policy Sign Off Agreement.
The completed cost was $34,739.69 and included change order #1 for $200.00. The
actual equipment installed was completed at a cost of $21,013.31 as compared to the
original equipment cost of$30,181.43. See Exhibit S - Equipment Lists. The auditor was
informed by Odie Mills, Regional Director of Audio Visual Innovations, that the project
was substantially less expensive than anticipated due to equipment the County was
currently utilizing and capable of interfacing with the new equipment. Therefore, the
scope of the contract was reduced and provided Monroe County a savings of$12,782.71.
The former Director of Technical Services subsequently added an additional $12,782.71
for assets not related to the original scope of the contract. Audio Visual Innovations
provided a change order summary on June 18,2003. See Exhibit T - E-mail From Audio
Visual Innovations and Change Order Summary. He requested the purchase of five
additional cameras and various other equipment. Several of these items are located in the
Key West Technical Services Department and are not currently being used.
The Final Acceptance of Installation and Sign Off was accepted on July 24, 2003 by the
former Director of Technical Services and included change order #2 in the amount of
$12,782.71. See Exhibit U - Limited Warranty Policy Sign Off Agreement, Change Order
#2. The final invoice for the project of $47,522.00 had the appearance of the original
contract and was completed within the original approved amount. See Exhibit V - Final
Invoice From Audio Visual Innovation. The auditor was informed by Audio Visual
Innovations that the change orders were included in the final invoice, again giving the
appearance of the original contract.
Monroe County Code of Ordinance, Sec. 2-9-1 ( d)( e), states if a change order results in a
decrease in the contract price (either the original contract price or the contract after prior
change orders), the amount of that decrease may not be utilized by employees, agents or
contractors of the county to fund a subsequent change order, contract amendment or any
other alteration of the original scope of work without following the procedures set forth in
this section. The procedures in the section requires the appropriate approval by the
County Administrator or the BOCC, as well as numerous other requirements regarding
change orders.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Code of
Ordinances.
2. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing
Policies.
22
County Administrator's Response:
1. The Monroe County Purchasing Policies will be reviewed for adequate references for
ordinances that impact purchasing. When work comes in at less than original
contract, it should be finalized without adding additional items/services to the
contract. Any additional equipment should be purchased under purchasing rules.
2. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit
was requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about
violations of our policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the
violations discovered in this audit. The policy and our internal procedures are being
examined for necessary changes to improve our control over purchasing. Once again,
it is apparent that the former Director of Technical Services intentionally violated
Monroe County's Code of Ordinances and Purchasing Policies.
23
E. Inventory Account for Technical Services Department
Findine:
The former Director of Technical Services established an asset account, 141003 -
Inventory-Equipment & Supplies, in December 2002 to purchase items in larger quantities
for volume savings and/or to have common items available in stock to service work
orders. The inventory was initially set up with a ceiling of $50,000. See Exhibit W -
Memorandum From Former Director of Technical Services. As of September 30, 2003,
the balance of the inventory account according to the Clerk's Finance Department was
$57,638.38.
As inventory purchases were received, the Technical Services staff would enter the items
into the inventory database with a markup cost averaging 10%. Theoretically, as work
orders were processed and if they required items that were maintained in the inventory,
the system would automatically be updated and the inventory released. When the work
order was closed an e-mail was sent to the person to confirm the parts were received.
Quarterly, the Technical Services Department was to generate billing statements to the
Clerk's Finance Department and charge the expense to the appropriate department for the
inventory used. The system had also been designed to bill the County departments for
storage and backup space.
The Technical Services Department did not provide the Clerk's Finance Department
timely or accurate billings for the inventory. During the 10 month period, the Finance
Department received billings in the amount of $7,190.76. A physical inventory was
conducted in the Technical Services Department and it was determined the items
available in inventory had a value of $46,144.05. If the former Director of Technical
Services included a 10% markup on the items entered in the Inventory Management
System, the actual amount of the inventory value would be adjusted to $41,949.14. This
represents a discrepancy of approximately $15,000.00 compared to the Finance
Department general ledger records.
The following example of the markup applied to the inventory for billing departments
demonstrates inconsistency in the former Director's procedure:

Tourist Development Council (TDC) questioned the Technical Services Department on
the charge of a keyfob issued and billed to their department for $217.89. See Exhibit X -
E-mail From TDC. An analysis of the inventory value for the keyfob indicated items
were not valued as described by the former Director in his memo. The invoice from
24
Insight Corporate Solutions in June 2003 for the keyfobs also includes the per seat
software license in the total price.
A thorough review of vendor invoices compared to the Technical Services Department
inventory would be necessary to reconcile the inventory account. Inventory parts that
have been used in County departments to repair computer equipment should be billed
directly to those departments.
During the physical inventory, several items were discovered that should have been
tagged as capital assets. The Clerk's Finance Department was unable to identify the
assets due to split purchase orders and incorrect invoice descriptions. As of September
30, 2003, $36,204.70 in the Technical Services Department inventory account was
identified as capital assets and tagged during the audit.
Review of the inventory account, accounting procedures and the general processes to
maintain the account by the Clerk's Finance Department determined the account was
maintained improperly and as of October 2, 2003 the account is on freeze. See Exhibit Y
- Memorandum From Finance Director.
Recommendation(s):
1. Technical Services should review the inventory management records and bill County
departments for parts used.
2. Inventory items need to be adjusted to actual cost by the Technical Services
Department.
County Administrator's Response:
1. The billing of county departments is currently on hold, until a procedure is worked out
to successfully accomplish that action. Inventory accounts should not be set up
without assurance that the procedure is in place to bill individual using department.
The Management Services Division has been limiting and eliminating inventory
accounts and procedures will be put in place to control the growth of inventory
accounts.
2. Inventory has been verified at cost plus shipping and sent to Finance Director on
November 2, 2003 with instructions for unaccounted for items to be billed to Technical
Services as part of the close-out of FY 2003.
25
F. Solarcom, LLC Instructed To Change Invoice Descriptions
Findine:
The former Director of Technical Services was restructuring the billing charges to the
County departments for storage and backup of data. In an e-mail to the Division Directors
and Department Heads, the former Director of Technical Services explained that each
department would be billed $300.00 per 10 gigabytes of storage capacity. He explains the
purchase of a larger unit rather than dozens of individual purchases as being a more
complete solution. See Exhibit Z - E-mail to Division DirectorslDepartment Heads.
The former Director was working with Janice Long, Senior Account Executive of
Solarcom, LLC to purchase the equipment for a larger storage solution. In a letter from
Janice Long to the auditors, she indicated the total project cost for the Storage Area
Network was expected to be $29,323.00. She states the former Director explained he
would be preparing a method to purchase the Storage Area Network, which requires a
housing device, disk drives and tape backup equipment and he created the description
"HP Storage Unit 1 OGB" to be billed at $300 each on the invoice. The former Director
explained the request was to ultimately charge back disk space to each County department
that requested additional disk or storage space on the network. Solarcom agreed to
produce misleading descriptions on the invoices to the County as requested by the former
Director of Technical Services. See Exhibit AA - Letter From Solarcom.
The equipment was split on several purchase orders with the exception of purchase order
#233986. According to Monroe County Code of Ordinance #032-1998, Competitive
Bidding Procedures, Section 5.(a), a contract may not be split into multiple contracts for
services, goods or public improvements for the purpose of evading the requirements of
this Ordinance. The remaining three purchase orders were billed as 15 each of 10GB
Storage and misrepresented the fact that the purchases were capital equipment. See
Exhibit AB - Solarcom Invoices. Following is the fixed asset purchases and
corresponding purchase orders:

26
Monroe County BOCC Purchasing Policies, Chapter 2 - requires purchasing amounts
from $5,000 to $10,000 to have two or more written quotes and a signature by the
Division Director. In addition, equipment purchases greater than $25,000.01 requires
BOCC approval.
The equipment was not considered a capital purchase because the invoices indicated the
purchase of (15)10GB Storage Units at $300.00. Florida Statute 272.02 requires
nonconsumable purchases of $750.00 with a normal expected usage greater than one year
to be captured and recorded as capital assets. During the audit, the items were identified
and properly accounted for as capital assets,
Recommendation( s):
1. Purchase orders should not be split to avoid purchasing limits to circumvent County
policies.
2. County personnel should not authorize payment of invoices, if verification of goods
received is not complete and accurate.
3. Vague or inconsistent documentation should be questioned by the Technical Service
Department staff.
4. Clerk's Finance Department should require packing slips and/or receiving reports that
have been reconciled to the invoice prior to payment.
County Administrator's Response:
1. Our policy prohibits splitting purchase orders. This was a clear violation of our
policy. Had all purchase orders been combined into one purchase order, it still would
not have been elevated to the amount that would have required a formal bid process.
It could have been approved by the County Administrator with two written quotes as
documentation. The apparent manipulation of the total purchases and price appears to
be an attempt to avoid policy control and oversight.
2. The Administration agrees with recommendation 2 and will look for ways to enhance
our policies and procedures to prevent it from happening again.
3. The Administration agrees with recommendation 3 and will look for ways to enhance
our policies and procedures to prevent it from happening again.
4. The Administration agrees with recommendation 4 and thought that the Clerk's
Finance Department was requiring packing slips and/or receiving reports currently.
County Administrator requests the Clerk's Finance Department not to pay for any
item without proper supporting documentation.
Finance Department Response:
1. Proper supporting documentation does not necessarily include packing slips and/or
receiving reports. The County's procedure is for an authorized employee to sign the
invoices verifying that the goods are received and that the invoice is approved for
payment. This finding was not identified by the Finance Department due to vendor
collusion. The invoice had been amended according to the instructions of the
authorized employee's request. Likewise, the vendor could have revised the
27
information on the packing slips and/or receiving reports. As the Finance Department
is continuously reviewing accounting internal controls, we will reconsider
implementing this suggested control.
28
G. Catered Christmas Party
Findin~:
The Technical Services staff informed the auditors that the Sales Representative of
Howard Computers, Maggie McGee, had helped cater the Christmas Party hosted by the
former Director of Technical Services. Maggie McGee stated she had used her Howard
Computer expense account and paid $300.00 to Great Events as a contribution to the
Christmas Party. County Administration counseled the former Director in February 2003
on the receipt of gifts over $25 and requested documentation on the contributions from
the vendors for the Christmas Party. In his documentation to County Administration, the
former Director mentioned a $100 contribution from Solarcom and a contribution from
Howard Computers of approximately $250. See Exhibit AC - Documentation on
Christmas Party.
During the audit, it was revealed that Richard Spencer from ComarklInsight had also paid
$200 to Great Events for the Christmas Party. The former Director did not mention this
contribution to County Administration when documenting the contributions.
Recommendation(s):
1. County Administration should refer this to the County Attorney's Office for review of
statutory requirements.
County Administrator's Response:
1. County Administrator will forward this information to the County Attorney for
necessary action. Prior to the audit, the County Administrator had received
information in reference to the possibility that the Christmas party was at least partially
under-written by vendors. The County Administrator discussed this with the former
Director of Technical Services and was assured that there was a lack of understanding
of public policy, that it would not happen again, and that the amounts involved were
not substantial. The amounts identified in the audit are significantly higher than
represented to the Administrator by the former Director of Technical Services.
29
H. Credit Memos From Vendors
1. Refund check returned to SBC for credit
Findine:
The Technical Services Department received a check for $806.25 from SBC Datacomm.
The check was issued to Monroe County in July 2003 for an outstanding credit memo
dated January 31,2000. Technical Service staff informed the auditors the former Director
of Technical Services requested the check be returned and a credit be issued to Monroe
County to purchase additional supplies.
SBC sent an e-mail to the former Director asking for additional information regarding the
credit, the former Director replied that a check had been issued for approximately $800
and was returned because there was no way for the County to receive money. The former
Director requested the purchase of an item and enough quantity to use the entire credit.
See Exhibit AD - E-mail Correspondence Between Former Director of Technical Service
and SBC. The items were ordered and shipped to Monroe County.
The auditors requested the Clerk's Finance Department to research the original credit
memo and the August 18, 2003 invoice. The Finance Department did not have either
document recorded in the system. All invoices and credit memos are to be forwarded to
the Finance Department in order to maintain adequate accounting records.
It is clear the credit memo was generated prior to the former Director's employment with
the County and proper procedures in 2000 would have curtailed the manipulation of
purchases. Stronger internal controls require procedures to detect receipt of invoices and
credit memo.
Recommendation(s):
1. Good internal accounting controls require all invoices and credit memos be forwarded
to the Clerk's Finance Department to maintain adequate accounting records.
County Administrator's Response:
1. Instructions on how to process credits will be issued to make this part of our
Purchasing Policies & Procedures.
30
2. Credits due from MoreDirect, Inc.
Findin2:
The auditors reviewed detail reports provided by all new vendors established by the
former Director of Technical Services. One vendor, MoreDirect, Inc., had several credit
memos that were not entered in the Clerk's finance records. A request for the Accounts
Receivable Statement was made and MoreDirect informed the auditors that Monroe
County had a zero balance. An inquiry was made in reference to credit memos and
MoreDirect explained that credit memos issued are applied to the original invoice.
Invoice #371030 in the amount of$330.00 was paid by the County on check #79285. The
product was returned on credit memo #391816. The original invoice was not credited and
the auditor was informed a credit of $230.00 was applied to invoice #427644 and a
$100.00 balance is due Monroe County.
The auditors requested the Clerk's Finance Department to research the credit memo
#391816 and invoice #427644, neither document had been recorded in the system. All
invoices and credit memos are to be forwarded to the Finance Department in order to
maintain adequate accounting records. Stronger internal controls require procedures to
detect receipt of invoices and credit memos.
Recommendation(s):
1. The Technical Services Department should request a refund check from MoreDirect
and determine if other credits are due the County.
2. Good internal accounting controls require all invoices and credit memos be forwarded
to the Clerk's Finance Department to maintain adequate accounting records.
County Administrator's Response:
1. Technical Services Department will reVIew all transactions with MoreDirect and
request appropriate refunds/credits.
2. Instructions on how to process credits will be issued to make this part of our
Purchasing Policies & Procedures.
31
I. Howard Computers
1. Desktop computers purchased through Howard Computers
Findin~:
It has been customary for the County to purchase new computers from Dell Computer
Corporation and in July 2002 the former Director of Technical Services purchased 18 new
desktop computers from Colfax International. In September 2002, the former Director of
Technical Services again changed vendors and began purchasing new computers from
Howard Computers. During the period of September 2002 to August 2003, the County
purchased 74 new desktop computers and 9 notebook computers for approximately
$141,000.
Howard Computer Sales Representative, Maggie McGee, informed the auditors that a
presentation of products was prepared for Monroe County in September 2002 prior to the
new fiscal year starting. The Sales Representative indicated Monroe County had unique
needs and required special configurations. Howard Computers established special pricing
guidelines based on a projected purchase of 200 new desktop computers, per a
conversation with the former Director of Technical Services. See Exhibit AE - E-mail
From Howard Computers.
Monroe County has been invoiced approximately $118,000 for 74 new desktop computers
during the eleven month period. The former Director exceeded his authority based on a
commitment to purchase 200 new desktop computers from Howard Computers.
Howard Computers qualifies under the State of Florida's Purchasing Contract Number -
250-000-03-01 and no additional quotes were provided, however other vendors should
have been considered. The purchases were in violation of Monroe County Code of
Ordinance. The Monroe County Code of Ordinance, Competitive Bidding Procedures,
Section 2-541(e)(3), states the following in regards to State Contracts:
When the goods or services sought are expected to cost twenty-five thousand dollars
($25,000.00) or more and are available to the county through an existing contract
between a vendor and the State of Florida, the United States, or another Florida County,
municipality or special district, then compliance with the terms of this section is not
required. However, before any purchase is made through an existing contract, the
purchasing director must first contact other South Florida vendors in order to determine
if the goods or services sought are available at a lower price than the price(s) of the
existing contract. If the goods or services are available from another vendor at a lower
price than the existing contract, then the contract for the goods or services must be
awarded to that vendor. The purchase of the goods or services sought may be made
through the existing contract if none of the other vendors contacted by the purchasing
director offered the goods or services at a price lower than the price of the existing
contract.

The Division Director of Management Services requested a cost comparison between the
Dell and Howard computer. See Exhibit AF - Memorandum from Division Director of
Management Services. The memorandum from the Division Director noted the primary
difference between the cost of Dell and Howard Computers was the inclusion of the Citrix
license at a cost of $366.22. By subtracting the Citrix cost of $366.22, it was determined
the Howard computer was higher than the Dell.
Recommendation( s):
1. Information Technology expenditures of this magnitude should be carefully planned,
documented and approved.
County Administrator's Response:
1. Information Technology does not decide who budgets a computer. Departments
determine if they want and/or need to purchase new computers. At any given time,
Technical Services does not plan who gets computers, but responds to who needs new
computers. Information Systems publishes pricing for the budget process based on
historic trends of computer replacements. County Administration will have a 5-year
plan finalized and completed to the BOCC for approval during 2004. In this we will
make a recommendation on the frequency of computer replacements.
33
2. Citrix licenses purchased through Howard Computers
Findin~:
It was determined that as of August 2003, Howard Computer had shipped and billed for
65 Citrix licenses, manufacture part number EW24CLE0005. The licenses are invoiced
individually with each computer and the licenses are shipped in packages of 5 after the
purchase of 5 computers. Five licenses purchased from Howard Computers is a cost of
$366.22 each for a total of $1,831.10, based on the quote provided by the Division
Director of Management Services. See Exhibit AF - Memorandum from Division
Director of Management Services. Citrix Corporation has a state contract number
252-036-03-1 and the suggested retail cost of the same part number of 5 is $1,333.20.
This results in an overpayment of $99.58 per license or $6,472.70 for the 65 licenses
purchased by Monroe County.
The quote provided by Howard Computers included the Citrix license in a bundled
software package and sold as part of the computer equipment and gave the impression it
was a necessary part of the desktop computer purchase.
Recommendation( s ):
1. Management should thoroughly review quotes to determine if products included in a
purchase might be more cost efficient on an individual basis.
County Administrator's Response:
1. County Administrator agrees with recommendation and will have staff complete a
review of quotes. Please refer to previous responses in reference Citrix licenses.

J. Unauthorized Disposal of Equipment
Findin2:
The Social Services Department had upgraded their computer system and had eleven
computers that the Director of Social Services wanted to delete from the fixed asset
inventory, transfer to the Technical Services Department and ultimately donate to the
Senior Citizen Centers. The transfer was discussed with the Division Director of
Management Services and was approved based on the storage space needed for Social
Services personnel. See Exhibit AG - Memorandum From Social Services. The Social
Services Department transferred the computers to the Technical Services Department with
the Fixed Asset Forms and the Inventory Deletion Requests. The equipment was
delivered to the Harvey Government Center and the former Director of Technical Services
accepted the delivery and signed the documents.
The former Director of Technical Services requested the maintenance personnel to
dispose of the computers in the dumpsters. Maintenance inquired if there had been
approval to dispose of the equipment and the former Director informed him it was going
to be bulked on the next Commission Agenda and would be approved. See Exhibit AH -
August 27, 2003 Notes. The Director of Social Services discovered the equipment had
been disposed of and contacted the Clerk and the Director of Finance. The Property Clerk
was requested to do an inventory of the equipment, but all the equipment had been sent to
the dumpster. County procedures require the Division Director's review and approval of
the Inventory Deletion Request forms prior to disposal. The forms are to be forwarded to
the Clerk's Property Clerk to verify all items listed on the Inventory Deletion Request and
to prepare the BOCC Agenda Item Summary and a Schedule of Surplus Items.
The former Director of Technical Services circumvented County procedures. If proper
procedures had been followed, the Division Director of Management Services would have
approved the disposal or the donation of the equipment and prevented the misuse of
surplus equipment.
Recommendation(s):
1. The Technical Services Department should have followed procedures for disposal of
surplus equipment.
County Administrator's Response:
1. County Administrator agrees that departments should follow established procedures
for the disposal of equipment. To Management's knowledge this is the first
substantial and intentional case of that policy not being followed. Agenda prepared
requesting Board permission to remove items from inventory. Board approved that
action.
35
K. Performance of Outside Work on Monroe County Time
Findin~:
The President of Innovative Web & Video Design informed the auditors that the former
Director of Technical Services had clients he worked for, in addition to his County
position. We were informed his business name was ThinClient Consulting. The former
Director previously was employed by Hawk's Cay Resort and implemented the JAZZ
Accounting System for the resort. The JAZZ Enterprise Software is a development of
SDD Systems and the former Director had a strong vendor relationship with SDD during
the implementation at Hawk's Cay Resort. It was determined from e-mails between SDD
and the former Director that he was working on a consulting basis for SDD, which
occurred during County working hours. See Exhibit AI - July 9,2003 E-mails.
The Technical Services staff also informed the auditors that a software program, File
Magic, was on the County server and that it is not a program used by the County. In an
e-mail from one of the former Director's client, Johnson Insurance, the client referred to
the program and in the response from the former Director it appeared he was able to
remotely access Johnson Insurance's computer system and resolve the problem. The
correspondence occurred during County business hours. See Exhibit AJ - April 23, 2003
E-mails.
Recommendation(s):
1. County Administration should ensure that County employees do not conduct private
business either from their public offices or during County business hours.
2. The Technical Services Department should remove any unauthorized software off the
County server.
County Administrator's Response:
1. It is currently against County Personnel Policy & Procedure to conduct private
business either on county property or during county business hours. This action is
cause for disciplinary action. Employee terminated his employment prior to this audit
being finalized and this item being discovered.
2. As part of the inventory of software and licenses, we will take necessary steps to
remove unauthorized software from County equipment.

To: All Division Directors
From:Todd Erickson, Director of Technical Service
RE: Change in Computer Cabling Procedure
Everyone,
Effective immediately, Technical Services has begun to outsource new computer/phone wiring
projects. There will be some cases where we will still have Ed Burr (Bellsouth) or Public Works
assist, but this will be on a case by case basis. Although this will mean an increase in cost to the
departments with wiring projects, Technical Services has found that the new grade of Category 6
cabling to be very sensitive to pulls, bends and electrical interference and therefore requires a
vendor that can certify there work before we are able to use it. We have spend into the hundreds
of hours trying to troubleshoot and fix computer and network problems, only to find out that a few
cable runs were creating the entire problem. Most of our new phone projects include the new IP
Telephones, which uses the computer network to place and receive phone calls, so telephone
wiring will soon all need to be certified as well.
We are recommending 4 jacks for any new cable runs; One for computer, one for telephone, one
for a printer and one for a mobile device (laptop, palm, etc). We are researching several vendors
that can provide the proper product and reliable service. The cost for 1 cable run is about $110,
while to run 4 is less than $300, so when you need more runs, it makes sense to run the proper
amount all at one time.
Technical Services will not hook up County equipment to untested or uncertified cabling.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

9-16-03: 3:47PM:
September 15, 2003
To: James L. Roberts
County Administrator
From: Edward Burr
Monroe County BellSouth Dedicated Teclmician
Mr. Roberts,
Since moving to Key West in 1982 I have worked with Monroe County in a
Supervisory Position and a craft position. I have always enjoyed dealing with Monroe
County Government. I have always tried to stay out of personality problems and remain
neutral. I have always been conscientious about cost. I believe in using quality materials
in adequate amounts. I have done wiring and telephone systems since 1970. In all my
time in communications I have never been asked to drive up the cost of the work I do.
When I was asked to give a quote for the County Attorney, Todd Erickson is the first
person that I have encountered that has requested me to do this. I went into his office on 4
different occasions and was told to make it more expensive by adding more equipment,
some of which had nothing to do with the job. I got the impression that cost and time is
not a consideration.
Sincerely,
--~O ~
Edward Burr
September 4,2003 .
To: Patty Sutton
From: Ed Burr
Subject: Cable Installation
Before new Director:
Cable installation for computers was always negotiated. Sometimes I would put in the
cable other times some one else would. I was usually asked first if I could install the
cable and time frame that it needed to be installed. If it could fit within the time frame
Specified I would do the cabling. The cable was tested after installation. Our main
locations and major jobs I would usually do.
After new Director:
I was told by the director that he wanted me to devote my time to the phone systems and
that he had another company that he wanted to use to do the wiring. He said that he used
this company at Hawks Cay and was satisfied with there work. I told the director that was
his decision but that all the major locations I Still wanted to do, and large jobs I wanted to
be consulted to do.
The Library on Flemming street:
I told them that I would do the work that they requested.
Install a large flexible conduit in the attic for a fiber optic cable, and that David
Richardson from facilities maintenance was going to help feed the conduit to me.
I ordered the conduit for the library from Graybar which the library paid for.
There where several locations that they wanted computer wires run to.
I told them that I would install these wires for them and that there would be no cosUo
them for any of the work that they requested. .~
The director told me that he did not want me to do the work.
The Airport in Marathon:
Bob Stone asked if I would do the wiring for two new offices being constructed.
I t~~that I would do the wo!!c and that the cost of materials would have to be ~d
~er. After that I was told that another company would do the
wiring. No other work at the airport was discussed with me.
2798 Overseas Highway:
No one talked to me about any wiring at this location
I would have done the work at this location at no cost if! was asked.
. ~ .....,
Facilities Maintenance in Key West:
I told the director that If he wanted some one else to do the wiring that I did not have a
problem with it.
County Attorney in Key West:
At first I was not consulted about this. Another company was requested to do the work.
1
~
I did not find out about this job until I was asked to get another quote from another
company because the first quote was over ten thousand dollars. I told the director that I
wanted to do the work and I would get a quote for cost of materials. The first quote for
materials was S 5,926.49. I was told that the attome was willing to spend ten thousand
dollars on his first quote an that wasn t t ere some test eqUIpment an a ox and hound
(tone source ana amphfief)that could be ordered to use on the job. I presented the next
quote to the directOr tor :I) 7:'368.17. 1 was told that he wanted the quote higher. The final
quote given to the director was $ 7,930.17 listed materials, $ 1500.00 in miscellaneous
materials, and $ 120.00 for shipping. Final cost was to be $9,550.17. I was later told by
the director to order a black box switch part# KV 6112F A for $ 1875.01 to be used as
miscellaneous material. This equipment is installed in the computer room at 1200
Truman Ave.
Around the first of August I was asked by the director to install wiring at:
500 Whitehead street for first apperance to the sheriff.
Cudjoe Fire station to connect to sheriff
Big Pine library to sheriff at tax collector.
Marathon Library to county system at 2798 overseas.
Marathon sheriff to county system at 2798 overseas.
These connections where to connect between county and sheriff and to be installed by the
end of September.

MEMORANDUM

DATE:

SUBJECT:
Insight Global Finance, Inc.
Please be advised that the Insight Global Finance, Inc. contract placed before the County
Commission at the February 19, 2003 meeting Is not the same as the documents which
were submitted to the Clerk of Court for execution. The specific differences require re-
submission to the County Commission. The specific differences are the equipment schedule
which was previously submitted Incomplete (with a blank for the number of monthly
payments, the amount of the monthly payment, and quantity and description to be filled In)
and Schedule A. In the documents submitted to the County Commission there Is no number
In any of the Equipment Schedule boxes In the section starting with "Number of Monthly
Payments." Additionally, the words "SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE An and the equipment
location were not filled In on the Items submitted to the County Commission. If the number
of monthly payments multiplied by the monthly payment amount equaled the amount that
was placed on your Agenda Item Summary and the location of the equipment were as
indicated on your Agenda Item Summary, the fact that this Information was not included In
the initial form would not affect our ability to execute the document. However, the number
of monthly payments multiplied by the monthly payment amount equals a little more than
$55,000, which is different than the total dollar value of contract of $47,670.03 which you
have Indicated on the Agenda Item Summary. Further, that amount Is different than what
appears on the next page, showing a total of $52,390. I would note that the next page, the
Schedule A, showing the description of products was not Included In the Agenda Item
Summary either.
Also, the correct location of the equipment (Marathon EOC, according to agenda summary)
needs to be placed in the section of the Equipment Schedule requesting location.
Accordingly, I am sending you a copy of the originals, and returning the two originals to
Belle, pending the County Commission approving the agreement as revised with the
effective date of the prior approval February 19, 2003.
If you have any questions, please call.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am legal counsel for Monroe County (Lessee), and I am familiar with the above-referenced Lease by and between the Lessee and
Insight Global Finance, Inc. ("company").
Based upon my examination of the Lease, the information statement(s) required for purposes of Section 149(e) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and such other documents, records and papers as I deem to be relevant and
necessary as the basis for my opinion set forth below, it is my opinion that:
1. The Lessee is a State or a political subdivision thereof, as those terms are used in Section 103 of the Code, and is authorized by
the applicable Constitution and laws to enter into the transactlon(s) contemplated by the Lease and to carry out its obligations
thereunder.
2. Lessee's obligation(s) under the Lea$e is a State or local bond within the meaning of Section 103 of the Code.
3. The Lease and other related documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitute valid, legal
and binding agreements enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms.
4. No further approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from any Federal, state or local governmental authority with
respect to the entering into or the performance by the Lessee of the Lease and the transaction(s) contemplated hereby.
5. The enlering into and performance of the Lease and other related documents will not violate any judgment, order, law or
regulation applicable to the Lessee or result In any breach of, or constitute a default under, any instrument or agreement binding
upon Lessee or result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any assets of the Lessee or
the Equipment (as defined in the Lease), other than those created by the Lease.
6. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any court or before any
governmental commission, board or authority Ihat, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the ability of
the Lessee to perform its obligation(s) under the Agreement.
7. The Equipment is tangible personal property and, when subject to use by the Lessee, will not be or become a fixture or real
property under the laws of Ihe state where the equipment is being used by the Lessee. .
6. All req!Jired public bidding procedures regarding an award to your company of the transaction(s) contemplated under the Lease
have been properly and completely followed by the Lessee.
9. The Lessee shall be the only entity to own, operate and use the Equipment during the Term (as defined in the Lease).
10. The Lease does not constitute, and is not expected to become, an arbitrage bond within the meaning of Section 146 of the Code
or a private activity bond within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code

the Lessee to perform its obligation(s) under the Agreement.
7. The Equipment Is tangible personal property and, when subject to use by the Lessee, will nol be or become a fixture or real
property under lhe laws of the state where Ihe equipmenl is being used by lhe Lessee.

Inventory Account Objective:
In December 2002, Technical Services was issued an asset account in which to purchase items in larger
quantities (to save money by making volume purchases) or to have common items in stock to facilitate a
faster and easier turn-around time while servicing work orders. It was the intent of the Department to
minimize the amount of paperwork and time necessary to acquire emergency items as well as routine items,
while maintaining tight control over loss or depreciation. .
Inventory Account Purchasing:
Purchase Orders are issued for equipment or software directly into the asset account. The account was
initially setup with a ceiling of $50,000 in active inventory. Items over $750 are subject to asset tags as are
all capital items. Technical Services will internally audit and reconcile this account quarterly, and will
perform a count at the end of the fiscal year as requested by the Clerk. All received items are tagged with a
unique inventory number and entered into our electronic work order system. At time of entry, account
designation is assigned to Capital, Operating or Office Supplies. Price is entered as approximate until the
final invoice is received. When we receive a final invoice, the cost of shipping is allocated appropriately to
each item on the invoice along with a nominal markup cost (from 0% to 10%) to cover return shipping costs,
out of warranty breakage, shipping miscalculations, etc. Inventory is secured under lock for all standard size
items. Items are dispersed by an authorized staff member after an item has been added to a work order and
approved by the appropriate person at the department with sufficient purchasing authority.
Inventory Aeeount Issuing and Authorization Proeedure:
To minimize the amount of time and paperwork necessary to transfer items out of inventory to departments,
an electronic system has been implemented. The system works as follows:
1 - Department requests a part from inventory or a technician recommends a part
2 - A Technology Work Order is initiated
3 - The requested or required parts are added to the work order. The tech then clicks the "request
authorization" button. This will send a message to the person in the department that has the appropriate
signing authority for the amount of money requested. An email message is also sent to the Department Head
and the person placing the work order to inform them that parts are necessary and that authorization is being
requested.
4 - When the appropriate person authorizes the expense, the system records the authenticated NT usemame,
the computer ID and the date and time. The work order system is automatically updated, and an email is sent
to Tech Services indicating which items were approved, so that they can be released from inventory.
5 - If any items are added to a work order, the entire approval process starts over. If items are removed from
a work order, no action is necessary. When a work order is closed, the person placing the work order and the
department head are emailed with the complete review of what was necessary to complete the work order,
including all costs.
6 - Upon closing a work order that has billable parts, an email is sent to the person who placed the work
order to confmn that the parts were received. When the user confirms delivery, the authenticated usemame,
the computer address and date/time are recorded.
Inventory Billing Proeedure:
At various intervals, billing statements will be generated. At the request of the Clerk, the billing statements
will include all of the following information:
Fund, Department, Department Code, Line item Code, PO#, Part Description, Approved By, Approved Date,
Received By, Received Date, Price
This report is subtotaled by Department Code, Fund and Grand Total
The report will be presented to the Clerk for Processing. Any questions pertaining to the billing amount or
items will be directed to Technical Services.

RE:
DATE:
Technical Services Inventory Account
October 2, 2003
..............................................................................
Effective October 2,2003, we are freezing the Technical Services Inventory Account
#141003 until further notice.
This account was created in December, 2002 upon an initial meeting between Lisa
Druckmiller, Todd Erickson, and myself. At that time internal controls, procedures,
and billing information was discussed. I have had two other meetings with Todd
Erickson and certain staff regarding billing issues and accountability of the inventory.
In July, the first billing was recorded totaling $1,841.72. Once the format and
information required for the billing was appropriate, we were to receive billings
quarterly. In August, a billing was recorded totaling $3,725.19. Again, items were
included that had been distributed before and after the quarter being billed, account
codes were wrong, and what appeared to be an incomplete billing as the inventory
account totaled approximately $50,000 after six months and billings totaled only
$5,566.91. The next billing received was in a totally different format from previous
billings and for items unfamiliar to us. Upon calling Cee at Technical Services, this
was meant to be a billing for items not in inventory and about which I was totally
unaware. Hence, the billing was returned to the Department, Shiela Barker was
notified of the situation and I was assured that the billings would be corrected. It is
now beyond the fiscal year end in question, and I find it unacceptable that I still do
not have accurate and complete billings for the inventory account.

In addition, Technical Services and Shiela Barker were both notified that I needed a
copy of the Technical Services inventory on September 30, 2003 to support the
$59,262.23 balance. Prior to that date, I received, what was supposed to be, an
accounting of the inventory. What I received was a form that noted items in stock
and not billed but with no amounts. Therefore, this document was also retumed to
the Department.
One of the issues that arose was developing a procedure for tagging capital outlay
prior to distribution. These procedures have not been followed. Computers, for
instance, are removed from Technical Services prior to tagging the equipment and
we are not notified. When tagging of inventory is attempted, the equipment is not in
the Technical Services Department and must be located. Then we must commute
to each of those locations throughout Monroe County.
I would like to charge the remaining balance in the inventory account of $59,262.23
to the Technical Services budget, cost center 06002, and, thereby, eliminating the
Technical Services Inventory Account. This plan was discussed a number times
with Todd Erickson should proc~sses and procedures go awry. This transfer,
however, will probably exceed their budget which would require a budget transfer to
correct.
In closing, I believe the inventory process is too complex for Technical Services to
property manage. My recommendation is to close the inventory account, as proper
accounting cannot be maintained. If you concur, please provide your written
approval prior to October 17, 2003, my fiscal year end deadline.
Thanking you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Subject: New Feature Cost Review
Division Directors/ Department Heads,
The addition of the two new drive letters marks a significant change in how Technical Services
will be providing service. We are actively working towards a usage based billing system, or what
we call "Pay as you go". These new drives offer unprecedented capacity and reliability, and each
department will be billed only for the amount of data that they have stored. The cost of this
storage is $300 per 10gig of data. I will be glad to discuss the specifics of how this affects each
department. This cost includes everything necessary to store and backup your data and the cost
is aggregate. Let me give you an example.
The first month you have 7 gig total of data - you will be billed $300
The second month you have 9 gig total of data - you are not billed, since you already paid for a
block of 10 gig
The third month you have 16 gig of data - you are billed $300 for another 10 gig of storage (you
have 10 already)
Technical Services is moving toward this financial model for most of its services for several
reasons. First, it saves the county as a whole, a significant amount of money. Instead of
purchasing dozens of individual drives, tapes and software, we purchase one larger, complete
solution. Second, is that capacity, performance and reliability are improved 10 fold. We are
deploying enterprise class solutions that can take the abuse of hundreds of users for many years.
And third, is that it is fair. Each department has different needs, so now they only have to pay for
what they are actually using, and they get improved reliability and performance that previously
may have been cost prohibitive.
Please contact me directly with any questions concerning this change,
Thank you

October 28, 2003
Ms. Patty Sutton
Monroe County
Clerk of Court Office
500 Whitehead Street
Key West, FL 33040
Dear Patty:
As requested, this letter is written in order to advise you of the discussions and
conversations that I had with Todd Erickson regarding the purchase of storage equipment
for the Data Center.
On many conversations, Todd explained that he had a very limited budget to work with,
yet had a great deal of requests for being able to provide services to the various
departments that were on the network supported by the Data Center. One of the areas
that he needed to increase on the network was storage space. He explained to me that he
was preparing a method by which he would be purchasing disk storage and/or tape back-
up equipment under his budget but would be ultimately charging back disk space to each
individual department that asked for disk or storage space on the network. He further
explained to me that he had reviewed this with his manager, the budget and purchasing
departments, and the other departments that he would be billing these services out to. He
indicated that everyone was in agreement with this procedure. In order to process the
purchase orders for this solution, he wanted to create a description for this storage that he
would use on the purchase order. This description would be used on the purchase order
to Solarcom and also to his internal departments when he invoiced to them. The
description that he created was "HP Storage Unit 10GB" - quantity of 15 which is equal
to 150GB of disk space. He wanted the sales price of each I aGB of space to be $300.00.
So, a quantity of (15) 10GB disk space at $300 each = $4,500.00.
In order to provide disk space on a network, you have to add equipment. In this case, the
equipment that would need to be added was a SAN (Storage Area Network) device and a
tape back-up device. The SAN device that Todd chose is made by Adaptec. What
comprises the Adaptec SAN device is a housing device that has the ability to talk to the

network and then the individual disk drives that go in this housing device that provide
the storage space. The housing device will hold 14 drives - these drives can be in various
capacities of 72GB, 146GB and 172GB. Todd chose to use the 146GB drives.
So in order to create the Storage Area Network, Todd had to purchase several pieces of
equipment which are as follows:
P.O. # 233986 for $15,823 - Adaptec DuraStore Subsystem
P.O. #238475 for $4,500 - (3) 146GB Disk Drives
P.O. #235369 for $4,500 - HP SureStore Tape Drive and (1) 146GB Disk Drive
P.O. #235041 for $4,500 - (10) HP Tape Cartridges and Rackmount Kit for tape drive
As I discussed with Todd, even though his purchase order was going to have the
description of UHP Storage Unit 10GB", that when Solarcorn shipped the above
equipment to him, that the equipment would be listed on the invoices from Solarcom. He
indicated that this would not be a problem since everyone was aware of what he was
doing and everyone was in agreement. When he purchased the HP Sure Store Tape
Drive, the sales price was higher that the $4,500 purchase order. So, he gave me two
purchase orders of $4,500 each for a total of $9,000. The sales price for the Tape Drive
and 146GB hard drive totaled $9,098. I agreed to use the two purchase orders for Todd
in order to help him implement this solution, but only because he assured me that he had
everything approved to process in this manner. I have attached the breakdown of these
transactions.
I hope this explains what transpired and the details of these transactions. If I can assist
any further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Documentation
Per your request, this document Is my acknowledgement and disclosure of the activities that surrounded the Christmas
party during December 2002. Howard Computers had approached me about doing something for my staff during the
Christmas season. I indicated to them that I was having a staff party and they asked if they could participate. I
thought that it would be fine, as this was a functIon for the whole department, and they contrIbuted a cheese and a
vegetable tray (approx value $125 ea.). Janice Long of Solarcom{ had heard of the event and wanted to know jf she
could attend, and she offered to pay for her and her spouses expenses (approx $100), and I accepted.
I understand now that it is unacceptable to receive any gifts over $25 dollars from anyone the County does business
with. I will make sure that this type of activity never happens again.

Hey Todd - sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this - I had a little snag. I tried to verify how
much credit you have and it seems that all the accounts that I have for Monroe have zero balances. Not
that that is correct - but did you get an email from SSC that you can forward me that states that you have

Or can you tell me who you might have talked to?

RE: UPDATED STANDARD QUOTE
Okay, I see right off the price difference. The monitor that you guys get is a flat screen not a LCD (flat Panel) monitor which is approx $340
price difference. If you configure the same system except put the monitor as the NEC AS70M. which is approx. $15 less than the monitor that
you get, you should get the following breakdown:
System: 1429.97
Citrix: $320
Microsoft Exchange: $73
Totaling $1822.97
We than looked at the total amount of desktops that where projected to be bought over the next year which was 200, based on a telephone
conversation with Todd, and I relayed the message to one of the people who determine our special pricing guidelines and they priced the
system at the $1718 per system. As for the notebooks they where priced as onsies. If you need more of an explanation please let me know
which areas you need me to put more emphasis on.
Please let me know if this will do!! Thanks-

Tasha.
I have compared the current quote you provided for the County with the quote pricing for State Contract #250-000-03-1 and I was able
to create almost the same piece of equipment with the exception of the monitor. The cost on the website is approx. $2,193 and the
quote to Todd Erickson on 4/30103 is $1,718.
We have disaJssed that the quote you provtded Todd was based on a quantity of 200. Again. will you please provide the
documentation to support your pricing or provide a written explanation. A difference of $475 seems rather substantial for one desktop
computer with the same system requirements.
I also compared quote #254309 for notebooks to the current notebook on your website and the pricing was relatively the same. Was
this based on Individual purchases of notebooks rather than 200?
Thank you for your help.

Cost comparis between Dell & Howard
...............................................................................
Recently when you asked for assistance from the Technical Services staff regarding the cost comparison
. between computers from Dell and from Howard, I believed it to be a simple process. Attached you will
find a sheet (labeled A) that shows the vendors we have used since 2001 and a spread of the prices we
have paid for computer and computer related items. The Sheet labeled B was prepared by Technical
Services using the State Contract information for both Howard & Dell Computers. The primary
difference is the inclusion of the Citrix License with the Howard Computer. Subtracting that amount the
Howard is about $109 higher than Dell.
The emaillabeled C is the request from purchasing for a quote from both Howard & Dell. The quote
from Dell is labeled D and it does not have the Citrix License and the requested 52X cdrom was quoted as
48x cdrom. There quote is $50 less than that shown on sheet B.
The Howard quote (labeled F) has the Citrix license and with an estimated amount removed, it is about
$400 higher than the Dell Quote. Dell has been requested to quote the Citrix to us, but as of this time,
they have not done so.
Attached items labeled E are the quotes received from Howard through Technical Services earlier this
year in response to what would be the costs for the budget process. The email references changes in the
way the computers and software are purchased.
I have spoken to several staff members to see what advantage we have with one computer over another.
There are mixed feelings as to which computer is the best. The most prevalent feeling is that when we
must add things to the computers we order, we get the best product from Howard. It has been very
difficult to get a comparison where I felt we were comparing apples to apples. The two basic quotes
compared from the State Contract site are very close with Howard being slightly higher, but there are
slie:ht differences between the equipment ordered.
Hopefully this can help you. If I can be for additional assistance to you, please advise.

RE: Social Services Department/Computers
Please see the attached documentation pertaining to the transfer of several
computers in the Social Services Offices that were turned over to the Tech
Services Department on S/12/03. I discussed this problem with Ms. Sheila
Barker and showed her all the computers, which she said she would handle. We
were asked to transfer them to Tech Services, which we did.
Please be advised that to the best of my knowledge, every one of the computers
were in working condition at the time they were replaced by Tech Services for
the purpose of upgrading our current system. During this process of upgrading
the system, I had expressed to Tech Services staff that I wanted to see these
computers installed in the four Sr. Citizen Centers. The main reason we
transferred these computers to Tech Services was because the computer storage
area was desperately needed for personnel. So, that Is why we insisted that all
of the computers needed to be transferred to Tech Services and relocated to
their offices at the Harvey Building.

Ron,
I can turn back on the remote access for exchange, but it was presenting a very large
security hole and I have spent the better part of a day trying to clean up all of
applications that hackers had loaded on that box. Luckily none of them were very
intrusive, but it only takes one to create a major outage.
I am in complete agreement that high availability needs to one of the first concerns.

1. Keith is in Hawaii and has demos off of our servers today. Make sure that they run.
2. Our rollover of systems two weeks ago left our demo server down and our remote access
to SOD disabled. (the later is still down). We need to have a high availability attitude

My question was who turned the firewall of hear at SOD. This is the my concern with more
control over who accesses and does what on the machine. The JOT folks just go back there
and turn things off. I feel in the end the more control one individual has over the
computer room 'the less problems will occur. This will prevent us from repeating things
over and over again. This room should be on lock down and access should be limited. I know
there was a rush on the Europe deal ,but in the end this still cost us time and work as it
is know. That's just my opinion. Tx's Steven

I can get it working again, but I have to reboot the server a few times and I will
probably need Steven to fix any Progress issues that may arise. I would have done it last
night, but I did not want to reboot the server if Steven was not going to be in, in case
there was a problem. I estimate only and hour or 2 to get the demo back working (it was
working when I left and thru Tuesday.
The internet hacking may seem like a nuisance, but I am concerned that they could actually
get control of the workstation and be able to do some real damage some day.
If Steven will be in on Monday, I will get it working again this weekend and reactivate
the personal firewall. That should help keep it working for a while.
Let me know if this is OK.

S~bject: RE: remc~e access opticns ~cr JAZZ c~stc~8rs
Everyone,
Last night I remoted in to finish the web configuration and I found that the firewall the
Steven had installed had been disabled. Upon further investigation I found that the Citrix
server had already been hacked into, and several registry entries had been modified and an
application installed. To fix these issues, I would have had to reboot the server a few
times and it may have affected the already installed applications. Knowing that Steven was
off today, I did not want to begin the process of fixing it, but really I don't know that
it will be a good use of my time to continue to fix the Citrix and SDD01 until a firewall
can be installed. If the watchguard is to complex to install, I can recommend other
options that can get the job done, but really the watchguard box is the way to go.
Let me know how you would like me to proceed. I can spend the time to repair both servers,
but it is likely that we will be spending more time in the future until we have a
permanent way to prevent this from happening.

Subject:
Preliminary Audit Report of Monroe County
Technical Services Department Purchasing Department
..................................................................................
The Administration has reviewed the comments by the Internal Audit Department in reference to
the Department of Technical Services. There is a specific response to each of the audit findings.
However, a brief history leading up to the identification of problems identified in this audit
would be helpful.
Monroe County, over the years, has slowly developed its capacity to utilize
computerization to assist with its operation. From the mid 1990's, the County emerged from its
reliance upon an aging AS400 centralized system and moved into the world of local and wide
area network. This allowed not only for greater efficiency and effectiveness but also for a wider
range of opportunities to utilize computerization for a wide variety of subject areas. That step
was accompanied by a standardization of the types of hardware and software that standardized
the cost to the County and created a technical services function which had greater control over all
computerized operations in the County. In fact, service was also provided in some cases to
Constitutional Officers and outside public agencies.
At the same time, the County's utilization of the television station Channel 16 was
increasing and becoming a more important part of sharing public information and meetings of
interest to citizens. It even expanded to include coverage of meetings of other governmental
entities.
The telecommunications aspect of the Technical Services Department also continued to
grow and became more important not only in reference to County operations directly under the
Board of County Commissioners but also to the Constitutional Officers.
At about the time the County was considering expanding its utilization of computer
technology and outlining a five-year program for advancement, it was also necessary to search
At about the time the County was considering expanding its utilization of computer
technology and outlining a five-year program for advancement, it was also necessary to search for
a new Director of Technical Services. It was an extensive search with the ultimate selection of
Mr. Todd Erickson to be the Director. That selection was recommended by the County
Administrator to the Board of County Commissioners and confirmed. Mr. Erickson immediately
began to impress all concerned with his knowledge, energy and enthusiasm as well as his
creativity in utilizing technology.
Mr. Erickson did not have public sector experience prior to coming to Monroe County.
His experiences in the private sector were different than the challenges he faced with Monroe
County. On three separate occasions (with at least one being attended by a supervisor within the
Technical Services Department), the Administrator advised Mr. Erickson of the need to be
familiar with and adjust to the manner in which the public sector handles its procurement and
other policies relating to the conduct of public business. Subsequently, during the Director's
employment, the Administrator discussed with Mr. Erickson the fact that although he appeared to
be very creative and moving the department forward very quickly, he was not following many of
the appropriate steps.
Subsequent to that, in December of2002, the responsibility for overseeing the Technical
Services Department and the Director was transferred to the Management Services Division.
Issues pertaining to Mr. Erickson's style of management and his method of working were
discussed with the Director of the Division and she began oversight.
As time progressed, and as identified in the audit, problems continued to appear.
Although at that time they did not appear to arise to the level of issues identified in the audit,
concern was growing. When information was pointed out by staff of some of the problems in
reference to various purchases, the Administrator conferred with the County Attorney and
requested the Clerk of the Court to undertake an audit of all purchasing practices since the new
Director assumed the position. An internal Administration review resulted in the Administrator
suspending the Director pending the review of allegations at a predetermination hearing. The
allegations did not cover all of the issues that were ultimately found by the internal auditors. The
hearing was held but, prior to the issuance of the Administrator's determination of what discipline
would be appropriate, up to and including dismissal, the Director resigned his position.
The Administration has always viewed the internal audit conducted by the office of the
Clerk of the Court.as management improvement tools. The egregious nature of these findings
fully demonstrates the necessity of a new management relationship. The Administrator and the
Director of the Division of Management Services have been speaking with the Monroe County
Sheriff in reference to managerial and technical oversight. This audit report will certainly go a
long way to help identify the scope of that relationship. It is, however, the Administration's
conclusion that the problems identified in the audit are not just problems of too much enthusiasm
or lack of attention to proper procedure. The Administration believes there is a pattern of
conduct which was intentional and far beyond the lapses of managerial responsibility.
Opening Response:
Audit Findings
A. Citrix. Licenses
1. Employee doing business with their own governmental agency
Findine::
The County paid for 111 Citrix Xpe licenses for various County departments at $240 per license
from a new vendor, Innovative Web and Video Design (IWVD), based on the recommendation of
the former Director of Technical Services. Another vendor, Solarcom, LLC, agreed to provide
Citrix licenses at the same price, although this quote was not submitted to the Purchasing
Department. The licenses were for the implementation of a cost efficient and standardized
network system for the County.
The County paid a total amount of $26,640 to IWVD for the l111icenses invoiced from IWVD.
The owner ofIWVD and the former Director of Technical Services were both employees at
Hawk's Cay Resort until the former Director joined the County in June 2002. According to
interviews with the President ofIWVD, the former Director requested the licenses be invoiced in
small increments and IWVD anticipated a five percent profit.
IWVD billed the County on August 9,2002 for 40 Citrix licenses totaling $9,600 on invoice #
102. The invoice was approved by the Growth Management Director and the Coordinator of
Budget and Personnel. On September 10, 2002, the County check was deposited in IWVD's
checking account. On September 13, 2003, IWVD kept $445 as profit and issued a check for
$9,155 to Todd Erickson, former Director of Technical Services. According to interviews with
the President ofIWVD, the former Director of Technical Services was to supply licenses to the
County with the $9,155 payment issued to the former Director.
IWVD received another two payments from the County in September 2003, totaling $6,000 for
25 licenses invoiced (check #072984 for $3,120 pertaining to licenses, and check #073364 for
$2,880). After receipt of the payment, IWVD issued check #2015 totaling $300 to Todd
Erickson for what appears to be a five percent profit on these purchases.
In October 2003, IWVD received another three payments from the County totaling $10,320 for
43 licenses invoiced. After receipt of payment, IWVD issued two additional checks to Todd
Erickson, check #2017 for $204 (5% profit on County checks #203739 for $240 and #073705 for
$3,840) and check #2017 for $312 (5% profit on County check #203843 for $6,240). See
Exhibit A - Analysis ofCitrix License Transactions and Checks Issued to Former Director of
Technical Services.
Section 112.313 (3), Florida Statutes (3), Florida Statutes, prohibits public employees from
selling goods to their own agency and Section 112.313 (4), Florida Statutes, prohibits employees
from accepting payment when such employee knows it was given to influence an action in which
the employee was expected to participate in his or her official capacity. This matter was referred
to the State Attorney's Office.
Recommendation( s ):
1. County Management should pursue restitution.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. The issue of the Citrix licenses is quite complicated. It does appear, based upon research, that
the County did not receive all that it paid for. County management will develop, in conjunction
with the County Attorney's office, a demand letter seeking restitution and will aggressively
follow-up to be sure that restitution occurs.
2. Unaccounted for Citrix licenses purchased
Findin2:
During the audit, we were unable to locate, identifY and determine where and if the 176 licenses
the County had paid for had actually been received. In September 2003, the Monroe County
Sheriff's technical staff conducted a physical search for the Citrix licenses. They were able to
physically locate 105 in the Technical Services Department in Key West and they were informed
another 15 were in the Marathon office. Technical Services staff in Marathon informed the
auditors they did not have Citrix licenses in the Marathon office. As of September 2003, of the
176 licenses purchased by the County, 20 licenses had been activated, although the license number
for the 20 was not one of the packages located in the physical search. It was determined that 65
licenses of the 105 were purchased from Howard Computers in packages of5 and were properly
accounted for and received.
IWVD indicated they had invoiced Monroe County for 105 licenses when they actually invoiced
and were paid for 111 licenses. See Exhibit A - Analysis of Citrix License Transactions and
Checks Issued to former Director of Technical Services. IWVD informed the auditors that
IWVD paid for 60 licenses that were purchased through InsightlComark and IWVD stated the
former Director of Technical Services was to supply 45 licenses to the County. This matter was
referred to the State Attorney's Office.
Review of the vendor report from InsightlComark indicated 60 licenses had been billed and
shipped to Monroe County and paid for by IWVD and the former Director of Technical Services.
IWVD paid $10,082.08 for 40 licenses on invoice #92244873 and the former Director paid
$4,994.00 for 20 licenses on invoice #9210437. See Exhibit B - Comark Invoices and Payment
Information for Monroe County.
IWVD informed the auditors that another 20 licenses were purchased for Monroe County and
IWVD paid $5,396.31, which included sales tax of $374.48. However, InsightlComark had billed
and shipped the licenses to Hawk's Cay Resort. See Exhibit C - Comark Invoice and Payment
Information for Hawk's Cay Resort.
The former Director of Technical Services provided a listing of license numbers belonging to the
County. The list contained license numbers for 3 packages of20 licenses, for a total of60. The
auditors were able to determine that 20 of the licenses were identified in the physical search, 20
licenses were activated and were not found in the physical search and 20 of the licenses could not
be identified.
Because of incomplete information regarding license numbers and/or serial numbers of the
licenses paid for, the auditors were unable to determine the actual licenses owned by the County.
There appears to be a discrepancy in the number of licenses paid for by the County and it is
possible the County is still due 51 licenses. However, due to the complex nature of software
licensing the information is inconclusive.
Recommendationl s ):
1. County Management should perform an audit of all licensed software installed on County
computers to ensure that the County is in compliance with Federal Copyright Laws.
2. Adequate records for software and license purchases must be maintained to properly
account for licensed software and software inventory.
3. County Management should seek reimbursement for licenses not received.
Countv Administrator's ResDonse:
1. The Administration is aware of the issue of missing Citrix licenses. It will certainly be a
primary goal to identify which licenses are actually in the County's possession and which ones
either never arrived or have been misplaced. The Administration will request the assistance of
the Sheriff's technical section in tracking down such problems. There will be an aggressive
campaign, as identified in the last response, to seek appropriate reimbursement. Policies and
procedures will be developed to be sure that such a void does not occur again.
3. County departments approving purchase of Citrix licenses not used in department
Findin2:
The Technical Services Department issued a memo informing County departments that all new
computer purchases required the purchase of certain software. See Exhibit D - Software
Requirements. The departments issued purchase orders for the Citrix licenses, which is referred
to as Xpe for $240.00 in the software requirements memo. The County departments purchased a
total of 176 Citrix licenses at an approximate cost of $49,500 (111 licenses from IWVD and 65
from Howard Computers). Technical Services provided a listing of the departmental purchases to
the auditors for the III licenses from IWVD. See Exhibit E - Citrix Xpe Purchases.
Citrix licenses have not been implemented for usage in all departments. One example occurred in
the Growth Management Department. The department had been invoiced for 40 Citrix Licenses
and paid $9,600 to IWVD. See Exhibit F -IWVD Invoice for Growth Management for Citrix
License Purchase. The purchase was for use with the implementation of the Pentamation
program, however the Technical Services staffinformed the auditors that Growth Management
was using Ataman software rather than Citrix to provide the same technical needs.
It was determined of the 176 Citrix licenses the County was invoiced and paid for, only 20
licenses had been activated. In October 2003, the Technical Service staff informed the auditors
the only departments utilizing the Citrix licenses were Social Services, the County Administrator's
Office, and the Key West Library.
According to Monroe County Administrative Instruction 4404.1, "All departments are required to
purchase the appropriate software licenses that are necessary for use by their employees.
Technical Services will determine and account for all software licenses in keeping with Federal
Copyright Laws". Licensed software purchases should include verification of the license number
and/or serial number before the purchase is approved for payment.
Recommendation( s ):
1. Technical Services should develop procedures to account for all licensed software.
2. Technical Services should develop and have approved a long range plan to avoid unnecessary
expenditures.
County Administrator's Response:
1. After Technical Services audits all County equipment for licenses and software; we will
develop a procedure for keeping track of all additional licenses and software purchased. No
purchase orders should be paid for licenses without the license number appearing on the invoice.
2. County Management is aware that a long-range plan is needed. During the time when we had
an acting Director, a plan was prepared but was put on hold when we sought to hire a permanent
Director. That was an assignment given to the new Director and it was never finalized for
presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. County Management will prepare a long-
range plan for Board of County Commissioner approval during 2004.
B. BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement
1. Contract for $49,040 for Internet Services executed by the former Director of
Technical Service in violation of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
Purchasing Policies
Findin2:
The former Director of Technical Services executed the BellSouth Business Services Master
Agreement on September 20, 2002 for Internet Services. According to an e-mail from BellSouth
personnel, the BellSouth Business Service Master Agreement (BBMSA) is an umbrella agreement
for all services purchased from BellSouth. The monthly recurring charge was $751 per month
($18,024 per contract) plus an installation charge of$800. The contract term was for twenty-four
months.
On 11119/02 before activation of the contact described above, the former Director of Technical
Services upgraded the internet access speed from 512 Kbps to 3 Mbps (PVC Option). The
monthly recurring charges increased to $2,010 per month and a total of $48,240 for the contract.
The order was signed by the former Director of Technical Services on the line which states
"Agreed to by Monroe County BOCC". See Exhibit G - BellSouth Business Services Master
Agreement and 9/23/02 and 11119102 Order Summaries.
This contract and the related upgrade were executed in violation of the Monroe County
Purchasing Policy, Chapter 2 - Authority & Duties. Section A. Board of County Commissioners
states the following:
The Procurement Policy Office consists of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
which is hereinafter referred to as the BOCC.
1. The BOCC shall decide all matters of policy including those referred to it by the Chief
Procurement Officer.
2. No contract in excess of $1,000 for goods or services may be awarded without the
approval of the Policy Office.
The contact and the related upgrade were also in violation of Monroe County Purchasing Policy,
Chapter 3 - Competitive Bid Process as follows:
Any purchase or contract estimated to cost $25,000.01 or greater shall be awarded by
competitive sealed bid
Section F. Award of Bid Contract
The Major, when authorized by majority vote of the BOCC, shall execute formal contracts
having a binding effect upon the County.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow the Monroe County Purchasing Policy.
2. County Management should refer this contract to the County Attorney's Office for
reVIew.
Countv Administrator's ResDonse:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit was
requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about violations of our
policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations discovered in this audit.
The policy and our internal procedures are being examined for necessary changes to improve our
control over purchasing. It is apparent that the former Director of Technical Services signed the
Master Agreement in clear violation of County policy.
2. The Master Agreement is a mechanism where changes can be made to facilitate the smooth
operation of phone systems and equipment for the county. Having a contact person to authorize
additions and subtractions to this contract of a minor nature is one way to facilitate phone service
within the county. The policy will be reviewed for additional clarification and procedures to
prevent changes in total dollar amount that exceed signature authority. This contract will be
referred to the County Attorney to see what action needs to be taken to conform to the
Purchasing Policy.
2. Contract for $15,076 for unnecessary Internet Services in Marathon executed by the
former Director of Technical Service
Findin2:
The former Director of Technical Services executed an order form for Internet Services at the
Marathon Government Center. The monthly recurring charge is $599 per month ($14,376 per
contract) plus an additional installation charge of $800. The contract term is for twenty-four
months. See Exhibit H - Order Form for Marathon Internet Services.
It was determined the services would not work properly and the service should have been
disconnected in late December 2002. In an e-mail from Technical Services staff in July 2003, the
charge was questioned and a credit was requested for the last five billings at $599 per month. In
an e-mail from the former Director of Technical Services to BellSouth he indicated that it was to
be turned off with no contract penalty. The e-mail indicated that the former Director was aware a
contract had been created and executed.
This contract and the related upgrade were executed in violation of the Monroe County
Purchasing Policy, Chapter 2 - Authority & Duties. Section A. Board of County Commissioners
states the following:
The Procurement Policy Office consists of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
which is hereinafter referred to as the BOCC.
1. The BOCC shall decide all matters of policy including those referred to it by the Chief
Procurement Officer.
2. No contract in excess of $1,000 for goods or services may be awarded without the
approval of the Policy Office.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow the Monroe County Purchasing Policy.
2. County Management should ensure the service is removed and the credit is received from
BellSouth.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit was
requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about violations of our
policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations discovered in this audit.
The policy and our internal procedures are being examined for necessary changes to improve our
control over purchasing. It is apparent that the former Director of Technical Services signed the
order form in clear violation of County policy.
2. Service has been turned off and we will check with the County Attorney to see if we are
able to obtain restitution for service that did not have proper authorization.
3. The former Director of Technical Services designated himself as Agent for Monroe
County BOCC to add services to BellSouth contracts
Findine::
BellSouth Business Services Master Agreement is an instrument used as an umbrella agreement
for additional purchase contracts from BellSouth to reduce the amount of paperwork involved
when ordering additional services. The former Director of Technical Services established the
agreement in September 2002 and was provided the opportunity to order additional County
services based on his sole discretion. The former Director obtained a contract for Internet Service
in the amount ofS49,040 in Key West, Internet Service in the amount ofS15,076 in Marathon
and a Virtual Personal Network (VPN) contract in the amount ofS28,646.
During negotiations for the services from BellSouth and also changes in the monthly billings, the
Technical Services staff inquired about the authorization of the additional services from
BellSouth. It was determined the former Director executed the agreement in the name of Monroe
County BOCC without the BOCC approval. See Exhibit G - BellSouth Business Services Master
Agreement.
In addition to signing the Master Agreement, the former Director provided BellSouth a Letter of
Agency that authorized him to place and coordinate orders for communications services and
facilities and/or otherwise deal with and perform all ancillary and related matters. The document
was provided to BellSouth on County letterhead signed by the former Director of Technical
Services designating himself as the Authorized Agent for the Monroe County BOCC. See Exhibit
I - Letter of Agencyl Authorization.
Recommendation:
1. County Management should monitor manager's and employee's activities for compliance
with Monroe County policies and procedures.
2. County Management should refer this contract to the County Attorney's Office for
reVIew.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
I. When the monitoring process was beginning to reveal potential discrepancies, the County
Administrator requested the audit to get to the full of extent of any violations. The former
Director of Technical Services intentionally signed this Agreement and took subsequent actions in
violation of County policies and procedures.
2. The Master Agreement is a mechanism where changes can be made to facilitate the smooth
operation of phone systems and equipment for the county. Having a contact person to authorize
additions and subtractions to this contract of a minor nature is one way to facilitate phone service
within the county. The policy will be reviewed for additional clarification and procedures to
prevent changes in total dollar amount that exceed our signature authority. This contract will be
referred to the County Attorney to see what action needs to be taken to conform to the
Purchasing Policy.
C. Cabling Projects
1. Dedicated BellSouth Technician not used in cabling projects resulting
in unnecessary labor expenses paid of $5,382.
Findin2:
The County has a contract in the amount ofS163,200 with BellSouth Communication Systems,
LLC for a Dedicated Technician to work on the County's telephone lines. The contract states
"The Dedicated Technician shall be primarily to provide the system warranty/maintenance work
and secondarily, with time permitting, to provide incidental labor for moves, adds and changes".
Traditionally, cable installation for Monroe County has been performed by the BellSouth
Dedicated Technician.
A new vendor, Crosspoint Solutions, Inc., was chosen by the former Director of Technical
Services to provide cable installation for several different projects within the County beginning in
March 2003. See Exhibit J - Memo From Former Director of Technical Service on Change in
Computer Cabling Procedure. The President of Crosspoint Solutions, Inc., informed the auditors
he had performed work at Hawk's Cay Resort and was referred to the County by Innovative Web
and Video Design. The former Director of Technical Services and the owner of Innovative Web
and Video Design worked together as employees of Hawk's Cay Resort. The vendor was paid
$9,981.97 for labor and materials. Of the total paid $5,382 was labor to install the cable lines.
The Dedicated Technician stated he would have performed the cable installations at no additional
labor cost to the County. See Exhibit K - Letters from BellSouth Dedicated Technician.
Recommendationls ):
1. County Management should confirm the necessity for private contractors before approving
their use.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. The contract with BellSouth Communication states that "The Dedicated Technician shall be
primarily to provide the system warranty/maintenance work and secondarily, with time
permitting, to provide incidental labor for moves, adds and changes". This wording leaves
open the option of having this work done by other contractors. The letter, Exhibit J, clearly
indicates that the intention was to hire additional contractors to complete the necessary wiring.
When questioned by management about this practice, it was explained by the department head
that it should help accomplish the wiring at an accelerated pace to complete long-overdue
projects. Management is always trying to get the best service at the lowest prices, but sometimes
service is the guiding priority and not price. Hiring outside labor is not uncommon for county
projects. It is, and should continue to be, a management prerogative within purchasing
guidelines, to secure the services needed. However, in this case, there appears to be a relationship
between the former Director of Technical Services and vendors utilized which lead to
inappropriate business decisions.
2. Second quote originally not provided for cable project and then inflated per instructions from
the former Director of Technical Services.
Findin2:
The Technical Services Department approved the Request to Purchase, issued to Crosspoint
Solutions, Inc., in the amount of $9,985.72 for cabling at the County Attorney's Office. Purchase
order 238545 was subsequently voided by the Purchasing Department because a second quote
wasn't received. See Exhibit L - Purchase Order 238545, Request to Purchase and Quote.
Monroe County BOCC Purchasing Policies, Chapter 2 - requires purchasing amounts from
$5,000 to $10,000 to have two or more written quotes.
The former Director was informed that a second quote was necessary by the Purchasing
Department and he then requested the BellSouth Dedicated Technician to quote the project. The
original quote from the BellSouth Dedicated Technician was for a total of$5,926.49.
Crosspoint's quote included $3,268 of labor to install, the quote from the Technician included no
labor charges. The Technician stated he was instructed by the former Director of Technical
Services to issue a higher quote because the County Attorney was willing to spend $10,000 on
the project. The next quote to the former Director was for $7,368.17. Again, the Technician was
told to increase the quote. The final quote given to the former Director was $7,930.17 for listed
materials, $1,500 in miscellaneous materials, and $120 for shipping. The quote totaled $9,550.17
and the work was performed by BellSouth. See Exhibit K - Letters from BellSouth Dedicated
Technician.
The Technician was later told by the former Director to order a black box switch part
#KV6112FA for $1,875.01 using the funds for miscellaneous material. The black box was not
used by the County Attorney's Office and was installed in the computer room at 1200 Truman
Avenue for use by the Technical Services Department. Vendors should not be instructed to
inflate their quotes or purchase material that is not needed for the project.
Fixed assets become the responsibility of the department purchasing. The Clerk's Finance
Department needs accurate information to record fixed assets and their location.
Recommendation( s):
I. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing Policies.
2. The fixed assets charged to the County Attorney's Office should be transferred to the
Technical Services Department.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. It is critical that all departments follow our policies to uphold the public trust. The audit was
requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about violations of policy.
It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations discovered in this audit. The
policy and our internal procedures are being examined for necessary changes to improve our
control over purchasing. This is another example of the former Director intentionally ignoring
County policy, appropriate procedures and good business practice.
2. Management concurs with the audit's recommendation.
D. Audio Visual Innovations Contract
1. Adjustments to Audio Visual Innovations contract
Findine::
The former Director of Technical Services submitted a contract to the Monroe County BOCC on
February 19,2003 to replace the existing visual control system at Marathon EOC for a total
project cost of $47,670.03 stating it was an emergency. The contract was approved as Agenda
Item D40. See Exhibit M - BOCC Agenda Item Summary D40, February 19, 2003. The
Assistant County Attorney returned the contract to Technical Services stating "Please be advised
that the Insight Global Finance, Inc. Contract placed before the County Commission at the
February 19,2003 meeting is not the same as the documents which were submitted to the Clerk
of Court for execution". See Exhibit N - March 7, 2003 Memorandum.
A new quote for equipment costs of$43,495.37 was received because the original quote was
nearly a year old. See Exhibit 0 - Revised March 9, 2003 Proposal. The auditors were informed
that the former Director of Technical Services instructed his staff to contact Audio Visual
Innovations and have them include a line item for a contingency amount of $4, 174.66 and
maintain the amount originally approved by the BOCC of$47,670.03. See Exhibit P _ E-mail to
Audio Visual Innovations and March 9, 2003 Adjusted Proposal Summary by Former Director of
Technical Services. It was the former Director's intention of utilizing all funds available for the
project. The changed proposal was resubmitted to the BOCC on April 16, 2003 and created the
appearance the original contract had remained the same, except for an additional $10,678.17 due
to interest expense for leasing. The resubmitted contract was approved for $58,348.20. See
Exhibit Q - BOCC Agenda Item C27, April 16, 2003.
Vendors should not be instructed to change quotes and add a contingency amount. A thorough
review by management is required for all agenda items. According to Monroe County
Administrative Instruction 1007.4 (2), Purpose - The Administrative Instruction is to define and
promulgate the direct responsibilities of the Division Directors regarding the preparation,
submission, and presentation of the MCBOCC agenda items falling within their purview to insure
that said agenda items are complete, comprehensive, accurate, properly formatted and timely
submitted.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing Policies.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit was
requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about violations of policy.
It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations discovered in this audit. The
policy and our internal procedures are being examined for necessary changes to improve our
control over purchasing. Once again, the former Director of Technical Services was violating
County policy and procedure to achieve whatever he viewed to be his call. In that effort, he
apparently sought to misrepresent facts to the County Commission.
2. Change orden for Audio Visual Innovations contract
Findin~:
On June 5, 2003, the audio visual project was completed and accepted by Monroe County
Technical Services staff See Exhibit R - Limited Warranty Policy Sign Off Agreement. The
completed cost was $34,739.69 and included change order #1 for $200.00. The actual equipment
installed was completed at a cost of $21,013 .31 as compared to the original equipment cost of
$30,181.43. See Exhibit S - Equipment Lists. The auditor was informed by Odie Mills, Regional
Director of Audio Visual Innovations, that the project was substantially less expensive than
anticipated due to equipment the County was currently utilizing and capable of interfacing with
the new equipment. Therefore, the scope of the contract was reduced and provided Monroe
County a savings of$12,782.71.
The former Director of Technical Services subsequently added an additional $12,782.71 for assets
not related to the original scope of the contract. Audio Visual Innovations provided a change
order summary on June 18, 2003. See Exhibit T - E-mail From Audio Visual Innovations and
Change Order Summary. He requested the purchase offive additional cameras and various other
equipment. Several of these items are located in the Key West Technical Services Department
and are not currently being used.
The Final Acceptance of Installation and Sign Offwas accepted on July 24,2003 by the former
Director of Technical Services and included change order #2 in the amount of$12,782.71. See
Exhibit U - Limited Warranty Policy Sign Off Agreement, Change Order #2. The final invoice for
the project of $47,522.00 had the appearance of the original contract and was completed within
the original approved amount. See Exhibit V - Final Invoice From Audio Visual Innovation. The
auditor was informed by Audio Visual Innovations that the change orders were included in the
final invoice, again giving the appearance of the original contract.
Monroe County Code of Ordinance, Sec. 2-9-1 (d)( e), states if a change order results in a
decrease in the contract price (either the original contract price or the contract after prior change
orders), the amount of that decrease may not be utilized by employees, agents or contractors of
the county to fund a subsequent change order, contract amendment or any other alteration of the
original scope of work without following the procedures set forth in this section. The procedures
in the section requires the appropriate approval by the County Administrator or the BOCC, as
well as numerous other requirements regarding change orders.
Recommendation:
1. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Code of Ordinances.
2. The Technical Services Department should follow Monroe County Purchasing Policies.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. The Monroe County Purchasing Policies will be reviewed for adequate references for
ordinances that impact purchasing. When work comes in at less than original contract, it should
be finalized without adding additional itemslservices to the contract. Any additional equipment
should be purchased under purchasing rules.
2. It is critical that all departments follow policies to uphold the public trust. The audit was
requested by the County Administrator to get to the bottom of rumors about violations of our
policy. It took the depth of the audit to uncover many of the violations discovered in this audit.
The policy and our internal procedures are being examined for necessary changes to improve our
control over purchasing. Once again, it is apparent that the former Director of Technical Services
intentionally violated Monroe County's Code of Ordinances and Purchasing Policies.
E. Inventory Account for Technical Services Department
Findine::
The former Director of Technical Services established an asset account, 141003 - Inventory-
Equipment & Supplies, in December 2002 to purchase items in larger quantities for volume
savings and/or to have common items available in stock to service work orders. The inventory
was initially set up with a ceiling of$50,000. See Exhibit W - Memorandum From Former
Director of Technical Services. As of September 30,2003, the balance of the inventory account
according to the Clerk's Finance Department was $57,638.38.
As inventory purchases were received, the Technical Services staffwould enter the items into the
inventory database with a markup cost averaging 10%. Theoretically, as work orders were
processed and if they required items that were maintained in the inventory, the system would
automatically be updated and the inventory released. When the work order was closed an e-mail
was sent to the person to confirm the parts were received. Quarterly, the Technical Services
Department was to generate billing statements to the Clerk's Finance Department and charge the
expense to the appropriate department for the inventory used. The system had also been designed
to bill the County departments for storage and backup space.
The Technical Services Department did not provide the Clerk's Finance Department timely or
accurate billings for the inventory. During the 10 month period, the Finance Department received
billings in the amount of$7, 190.76. A physical inventory was conducted in the Technical
Services Department and it was determined the items available in inventory had a value of
$46,144.05. If the former Director of Technical Services included a 10% markup on the items
entered in the Inventory Management System, the actual amount of the inventory value would be
adjusted to $41,949.14. This represents a discrepancy of approximately $15,000.00 compared to
the Finance Department general ledger records.
The following example of the markup applied to the inventory for billing departments
demonstrates inconsistency in the former Director's procedure:
Tourist Development Council (TDC) questioned the Technical Services Department on the
charge ofa keyfob issued and billed to their department for $217.89. See Exhibit X - E-mail
From TDC. An analysis of the inventory value for the keyfob indicated items were not valued as
described by the former Director in his memo. The invoice from Insight Corporate Solutions in
June 2003 for the keyfobs also includes the per seat software license in the total price.
A thorough review of vendor invoices compared to the Technical Services Department inventory
would be necessary to reconcile the inventory account. Inventory parts that have been used in
County departments to repair computer equipment should be billed directly to those departments.
During the physical inventory, several items were discovered that should have been tagged as
capital assets. The Clerk's Finance Department was unable to identifY the assets due to split
purchase orders and incorrect invoice descriptions. As of September 30,2003, $36,204.70 in the
Technical Services Department inventory account was identified as capital assets and tagged
during the audit.
Review of the inventory account, accounting procedures and the general processes to maintain the
account by the Clerk's Finance Department determined the account was maintained improperly
and as of October 2, 2003 the account is on freeze. See Exhibit Y - Memorandum From Finance
Director.
Recommendationl s ):
1. Technical Services should review the inventory management records and bill County
departments for parts used.
2. Inventory items need to be adjusted to actual cost by the Technical Services Department.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. The billing of county departments is currently on hold, until a procedure is worked out to
successfully accomplish that action. Inventory accounts should not be set up without assurance
that the procedure is in place to bill individual using department. The Management Services
Division has been limiting and eliminating inventory accounts and procedures will be put in place
to control the growth of inventory accounts.
2. Inventory has been verified at cost plus shipping and sent to Finance Director on November 2,
2003 with instructions for unaccounted for items to be billed to Technical Services as part of the
close-out of FY 2003.
F. Solarcom, LLC Instructed To Change Invoice Descriptions
FindiDl!:
The former Director of Technical Services was restructuring the billing charges to the County
departments for storage and backup of data. In an e-mail to the Division Directors and
Department Heads, the former Director of Technical Services explained that each department
would be billed $300.00 per 10 gigabytes of storage capacity. He explains the purchase ofa
larger unit rather than dozens of individual purchases as being a more complete solution. See
Exhibit Z - E-mail to Division Directors/Department Heads.
The former Director was working with Janice Long, Senior Account Executive of Solarcom, LLC
to purchase the equipment for a larger storage solution. In a letter from Janice Long to the
auditors, she indicated the total project cost for the Storage Area Network was expected to be
$29,323.00. She states the former Director explained he would be preparing a method to
purchase the Storage Area Network, which requires a housing device, disk drives and tape
backup equipment and he created the description "lIP Storage Unit 10GB" to be billed at $300
each on the invoice. The former Director explained the request was to ultimately charge back
disk space to each County department that requested additional disk or storage space on the
network. Solarcom agreed to produce misleading descriptions on the invoice to the County as
requested by the former Director of Technical Services. See Exhibit AA - Letter From Solarcom.
The equipment was split on several purchase orders with the exception of purchase order #
233986. According to Monroe County Code of Ordinance #032-1998, Competitive Bidding
Procedures, Section 5.(a), a contract may not be split into multiple contracts for services, goods
or public improvements for the purpose of evading the requirements of this Ordinance. The
remaining three purchase orders were billed as 15 each of 10GB Storage and misrepresented the
fact that the purchases were capital equipment. See Exhibit AB - Solarcom Invoices. Following
is the fixed asset purchases and corresponding purchase orders:
Monroe County BOCC Purchasing Policies, Chapter 2 - requires purchasing amounts from
$5,000 to $10,000 to have two or more written quotes and a signature by the Division Director.
In addition, equipment purchases greater than $25,000.01 requires BOCC approval.
The equipment was not considered a capital purchase because the invoices indicated the purchase
of(l5)10GB Storage Units at $300.00. Florida Statute 272.02 requires nonconsumable
purchases of$750.00 with a normal expected usage greater than one year to be captured and
recorded as capital assets. During the audit, the items were identified and properly accounted for
as capital assets.
Recommendation( s):
1. Purchase orders should not be split to avoid purchasing limits to circumvent County
policies.
2. County personnel should not authorize payment of invoices, if verification of goods
received is not complete and accurate.
3. Vague or inconsistent documentation should be questioned by the Technical Service
Department staff
4. Clerk's Finance Department should require packing slips and/or receiving reports that
have been reconciled to the invoice prior to payment.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. Our policy prohibits splitting purchase orders. This was a clear violation of our policy. Had
all purchase orders been combined into one purchase order, it still would not have been elevated
to the amount that would have required a formal bid process. It could have been approved by the
County Administrator with two written quotes as documentation. The apparent manipulation of
the total purchases and price appears to be an attempt to avoid policy control and oversight.
2. The Administration agrees with recommendation 2 and will look for ways to enhance our
policies and procedures to prevent it from happening again.
3. The Administration agrees with recommendation 3 and will look for ways to enhance our
policies and procedures to prevent it from happening again.
4. The Administration agrees with recommendation 4 and thought that the Clerk's Finance
Department was requiring packing slips and/or receiving reports currently. County Administrator
requests the Clerk's Finance Department not to pay for any item without proper supporting
documentation.
G. Catered Christmas Party
Findine::
The Technical Services staff informed the auditors that the Sales Representative of Howard
Computers, Maggie McGee, had helped cater the Christmas Party hosted by the former Director
of Technical Services. Maggie McGee stated she had used her Howard Computer expense
account and paid $300.00 to Great Events as a contribution to the Christmas Party. County
Administration counseled the former Director in February 2003 on the receipt of gifts over $25
and requested documentation on the contributions from the vendors for the Christmas Party. In
his documentation to County Administration, the former Director mentioned a $100 contribution
from Solarcom and a contribution from Howard Computers of approximately $250. See Exhibit
AC - Documentation on Christmas Party.
During the audit, it was revealed that Richard Spencer from ComarkJInsight had also paid $200 to
Great Events for the Christmas Party. The former Director did not mention this contribution to
County Administration when documenting the contributions.
Recommendation( s):
1. County Administration should refer this to the County Attorney's Office for review of
statutory requirements.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. County Administrator will forward this information to the County Attorney for necessary
action. Prior to the audit, the County Administrator had received information in reference to the
possibility that the Christmas party was at least partially under-written by vendors. The County
Administrator discussed this with the former Director of Technical Services and was assured that
there was a lack of understanding of public policy, that it would not happen again, and that the
amounts involved were not substantial. The amounts identified in the audit are significantly higher
than represented to the Administrator by the former Director of Technical Services.
H. Credit Memos From Vendors
1. Refund check returned to SHC for credit
Findine::
The Technical Services Department received a check for $806.25 from SBC Datacomm. The
check was issued to Monroe County in July 2003 for an outstanding credit memo dated January
31,2000. Technical Service staffinformed the auditors the former Director of Technical Services
requested the check be returned and a credit be issued to Monroe County to purchase additional
supplies.
SBC sent an e-mail to the former Director asking for additional information regarding the credit,
the former Director replied that a check had been issued for approximately $800 and was returned
because there was no way for the County to receive money. The former Director requested the
purchase of an item and enough quantity to use the entire credit. See Exhibit AD - E-mail
Correspondence Between Former Director of Technical Service and SBC. The items were
ordered and shipped to Monroe County.
The auditors requested the Clerk's Finance Department to research the original credit memo and
the August 18, 2003 invoice. The Finance Department did not have either document recorded in
the system. All invoices and credit memos are to be forwarded to the Finance Department in
order to maintain adequate accounting records.
It is clear the credit memo was generated prior to the former Director's employment with the
County and proper procedures in 2000 would have curtailed the manipulation of purchases.
Stronger internal controls require procedures to detect receipt of invoices and credit memo.
Recommendationl s ):
1. Good internal accounting controls require all invoices and credit memos be forwarded
to the Clerk's Finance Department to maintain adequate accounting records.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. Instructions on how to process credits will be issued to make this part of our Purchasing
Policies & Procedures.
2. Credits due from MoreDirect, Inc.
Findinl!:
The auditors reviewed detail reports provided by all new vendors established by the former
Director of Technical Services. One vendor, MoreDirect, Inc., had several credit memos that
were not entered in the Clerk's finance records. A request for the Accounts Receivable Statement
was made and MoreDirect informed the auditors that Monroe County had a zero balance. An
inquiry was made in reference to credit memos and MoreDirect explained that credit memos
issued are applied to the original invoice. Invoice #371030 in the amount of $330.00 was paid by
the County on check #79285. The product was returned on credit memo #391816. The original
invoice was not credited and the auditor was informed a credit of $230.00 was applied to invoice
#427644 and a $100.00 balance is due Monroe County.
The auditors requested the Clerk's Finance Department to research the credit memo #391816 and
invoice #427644, neither document had been recorded in the system. All invoices and credit
memos are to be forwarded to the Finance Department in order to maintain adequate accounting
records. Stronger internal controls require procedures to detect receipt of invoices and credit
memos.
Recommendationl s ):
1. The Technical Services Department should request a refund check from MoreDirect and
determine if other credits are due the County.
2. Good internal accounting controls require all invoices and credit memos be forwarded to the
Clerk's Finance Department to maintain adequate accounting records.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. Technical Services Department will review all transactions with MoreDirect and request
appropriate refunds! credits.
2. Instructions on how to process credits will be issued to make this part of our Purchasing
Policies & Procedures.
I. Howard Computers
1. Desktop computers purchased through Howard Computers
Findin2:
It has been customary for the County to purchase new computers from Dell Computer
Corporation and in July 2002 the former Director of Technical Services purchased 18 new
desktop computers from Colfax International. In September 2002, the former Director of
Technical Services again changed vendors and began purchasing new computers from Howard
Computers. During the period of September 2002 to August 2003, the County purchased 74 new
desktop computers and 9 notebook computers for approximately $141,000.
Howard Computer Sales Representative, Maggie McGee, informed the auditors that a
presentation of products was prepared for Monroe County in September 2002 prior to the new
fiscal year starting. The Sales Representative indicated Monroe County had unique needs and
required special configurations. Howard Computers established special pricing guidelines based
on a projected purchase of 200 new desktop computers, per a conversation with the former
Director of Technical Services. See Exhibit AE - E-mail From Howard Computers.
Monroe County has been invoiced approximately $118,000 for 74 new desktop computers during
the eleven month period. The former Director exceeded his authority based on a commitment to
purchase 200 new desktop computers from Howard Computers.
Howard Computers qualifies under the State of Florida's Purchasing Contract Number _ 250-000-
03-01 and no additional quotes were provided, however other vendors should have been
considered. The purchases were in violation of Monroe County Code of Ordinance. The Monroe
County Code of Ordinance Sec. 2-541 Competitive Bidding Procedures, Section 2-541(e)(3),
states the following in regards to State Contracts:
When the goods or services sought are expected to cost twenty-five thousand dollars
($25,000.00) or more and are available to the county through an existing contract between a
vendor and the State of Florida, the United States, or another Florida County, municipality or
special district, then compliance with the terms of this section is not required However, before
any purchase is made through an existing contract, the purchasing director must first contact
other South Florida vendors in order to determine if the goods or services sought are available
at a lower price than the price(s) of the existing contract. If the goods or services are available
from another vendor at a lower price than the existing contract, then the contract for the goods
or services must be awarded to that vendor. The purchase of the goods or services sought may
be made through the existing contract if none of the other vendors contacted by the purchasing
director offered the goods or services at a price lower than the price of the existing contract.
The Division Director of Management Services requested a cost comparison between the Dell
and Howard computer. See Exhibit AF - Memorandum from Division Director of Management
Services. The memorandum from the Division Director noted the primary difference between the
cost of Dell and Howard Computers was the inclusion of the Citrix license at a cost of$366.22.
By subtracting the Citrix cost of$366.22, it was determined the Howard computer was higher
than the Dell.
Recommendationl s ):
1. Information Technology expenditures of this magnitude should be carefully planned,
documented and approved.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. Information Technology does not decide who budgets a computer. Departments determine if
they want and/or need to purchase new computers. At any given time, Technical Services does
not plan who gets computers, but responds to who needs new computers. Information Systems
publishes pricing for the budget process based on historic trends of computer replacements.
County Administration will have a 5-year plan finalized and completed to the BOCC for approval
during 2004. In this we will make a recommendation on the frequency of computer replacements.
2. Citrix licenses purchased through Howard Computers
Findine::
It was determined that as of August 2003, Howard Computer had shipped and billed for 65 Citrix
licenses, manufacture part number EW24CLE0005. The licenses are invoiced individually with
each computer and the licenses are shipped in packages of 5 after the purchase of 5 computers.
Five licenses purchased from Howard Computers is a cost of $366.22 each for a total of
$1,831.10 based on the quote provided by the Division Director of Management Services. See
Exhibit AF - Memorandum from Division Director of Management Services. Citrix Corporation
has a state contract number 252-036-03-1 and the suggested retail cost of the same part number
of 5 is $1,333.20. This results in an overpayment of$99.58 per license or $6,472.70 for the 65
licenses purchased by Monroe County.
The quote provided by Howard Computers included the Citrix license in a bundled software
package and sold as part of the computer equipment and gave the impression it was a necessary
part of the desktop computer purchase.
Recommendationl s ):
1. Management should thoroughly review quotes to determine if products included in a purchase
might be more cost efficient on an individual basis.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. County Administrator agrees with recommendation and will have staff complete a review of
quotes. Please refer to previous responses in reference Citrix licenses.
J. Unauthorized Disposal of Equipment
Findine:
The Social Services Department had upgraded their computer system and had eleven computers
that the Director of Social Services wanted to delete from the fixed asset inventory, transfer to the
Technical Services Department and ultimately donate to the Senior Citizen Centers. The transfer
was discussed with the Division Director of Management Services and was approved based on the
storage space needed for Social Services personnel. See Exhibit AG - Memorandum From Social
Services. The Social Services Department transferred the computers to the Technical Services
Department with the Fixed Asset Forms and the Inventory Deletion Requests. The equipment was
delivered to the Harvey Government Center and the former Director of Technical Services
accepted the delivery and signed the documents.
The former Director of Technical Services requested the maintenance personnel to dispose of the
computers in the dumpsters. Maintenance inquired if there had been approval to dispose of the
equipment and the former Director informed him it was going to be bulked on the next
Commission Agenda and would be approved. See Exhibit AH - August 27,2003 Notes. The
Director of Social Services discovered the equipment had been disposed of and contacted the
Clerk and the Director of Finance. The Property Clerk was requested to do an inventory of the
equipment, but all the equipment had been sent to the dumpster. County procedures require the
Division Director's review and approval of the Inventory Deletion Request forms prior to
disposal. The forms are to be forwarded to the Clerk's Property Clerk to verify all items listed on
the Inventory Deletion Request and to prepare the BOCC Agenda Item Summary and a Schedule
of Surplus Items.
The former Director of Technical Services circumvented County procedures. Ifproper procedures
had been followed, the Division Director of Management Services would have approved the
disposal or the donation of the equipment and prevented the misuse of surplus equipment.
Recommendation(s):
1. The Technical Services Department should have followed procedures for disposal of surplus
equipment.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. County Administrator agrees that departments should follow established procedures for the
disposal of equipment. To Management's knowledge this is the first substantial and intentional
case of that policy not being followed. Agenda prepared requesting Board permission to remove
items from inventory. Board approved that action.
K. Performance of Outside Work on Monroe County Time
Findine:
The President of Innovative Web & Video Design informed the auditors that the former Director
of Technical Services had clients he worked for, in addition to his County position. We were
informed his business name was ThinClient Consulting. The former Director previously was
employed by Hawk's Cay Resort and implemented the JAZZ Accounting System for the resort.
The JAZZ Enterprise Software is a development of SDD Systems and the former Director had a
strong vendor relationship with SDD during the implementation at Hawk's Cay Resort. It was
determined from e-mails between SDD and the former Director that he was working on a
consulting basis for SDD, which occurred during County working hours. See Exhibit AI _ July 9,
2003 E-mails.
The Technical Services staff also informed the auditors that a software program, File Magic, was
on the County server and that it is not a program used by the County. In an e-mail from one of the
former Director's client, Johnson Insurance, the client referred to the program and in the response
from the former Director it appeared he was able to remotely access Johnson Insurance's
computer system and resolve the problem. The correspondence occurred during County business
hours. See Exhibit AI - April 23, 2003 E-mails.
Recommendation( s ):
1. County Administration should ensure that County employees do not conduct private business
either from their public offices or during County business hours.
2. The Technical Services Department should remove any unauthorized software off the County
server.
County Administrator's ResDonse:
1. It is currently against County Personnel Policy & Procedure to conduct private business
either on county property or during county business hours. This action is cause for disciplinary
action. Employee terminated his employment prior to this audit being finalized and this item
being discovered.
2. As part of the inventory of software and licenses, we will take necessary steps to remove
unauthorized software from County equipment.

Mr. Danny L. Kolhage
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Re: Finance Response to Monroe County's Internal Audit of
Technical Services Department Purchasing Practices
Dear Mr. Kolhage:
Below is the Finance Department's response to the Internal Audit of Technical Services
Department Purchasing Practices:
V. Audit Findings
F. Solarcom, LLC Instructed to Change Invoice Description
Recommendation:
4. Clerk's Finance Department should require packing slips andlor receiving
reports that have been reconciled to the invoice prior to payment.
Finance Department Response:
Proper supporting documentation does not necessarily include packing slips and/or receiving
reports. The County's procedure is for an authorized employee to sign the invoices verifying
that the goods are received and that the invoice is approved for payment. This finding was
not identified by the Finance Department due to vendor collusion. The Invoice had been
amended according to the instructions of the authorized employee's request. Likewise, the
vendor could have revised the information on the packing slips and/or receiving reports. As
the Finance Department is continuously reviewing accounting internal controls, we will
reconsider implementing this suggested
Sincerely,
S~.~
Sandra Carlile
Finance Director
