COMING UP ON THE NEXT HEADLINE HUMBOLDT CONTINUED HER BY ANNOUNCING HER INTENTION TO SEEK ANOTHER TERM AND MAKING EVEN MORE ABSENCING INDICATIONS.

JOHN BARTHOLOMEW MAKES COMPHEBTS ON HOW IT'S AFFECTING WORKERS.

COMING UP NOW ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

LIVE IN THE TOP OF THE HUMBOLDT HILL.

AND I'M JAMES FAULK.

IT'S CALLED THE SILLY SEASON FOR A REASON.

WHENEVER ELECTIONS AND PEOPLE AIR DIRTY LAUNDRY HOPING TO BRING OUT SHENANIGANS SLIPPERY EELS THAT WERE DROPPED THIS BY SUPPORTERS MUCH THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER KAREN PAZ DOMINGUEZ.

IN RECENT WEEKS AND MONTHS BY CALLING OUT OF COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

AND A TRANCHE OF DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY THE TIMES PROFANE THOMAS ED RING TON.

AFTER A THOROUGH REVIEW I FOUND NO SUCH EVIDENCE.

GRANTED SOME OF THE BUT THEY PRIMARILY CONTAIN A CONVERSATION WHERE THE TOXICITY LEVEL IS HIGH.

BUT ACTUAL PROOF IS PROVIDED.

AND THAT'S A SLIPPERY EEL.

IF YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT THE DOCUMENT YOURSELF THERE'S A LINK.

WE'LL COVER PAZ DEPHAN GES.

AND AN EXPERT IN ALL OF THE RELATED ISSUES ARE AND HAS PAZ DOMINGUEZ SOME BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

THAT'S THE BEST WHEN THE WATER IS MUDDY AND MOTIVES ARE SO CLEARLY SUSPECT.

HERE'S KEET COVERING COMPAS DOMINGUEZ'S ANNOUNCING.

>> DELIVERED A SKATING ACCOUNT OF HER OFFICE'S COUNTY FINANCIAL ISSUES AS SHE MADE A BID FOR HER SECOND TERM FOR HER AUDITOR CONTROLLER.

YOU RIGHT WHO FLEE I WOULD STAND ON ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF INTEGRITY, AND TRANSPARENCY, AND ACCOUNT BLINGTED.

WITH SUPERVISORS REX BOHN AND MICHELLE BUSHNELL THAT THE TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN VULNERABLE TO THEFT, MISAPPROPRIATION AND LOSS.

WHEN THE BALANCE OF POWER SHIFTS TOO FAR TO ONE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONED.

WITHIN OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

CONFUSION, DISCONTENT, CONFLICT AND DYSFUNCTION.

FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS AT LEAST THE WEIGHT OF POWER HAS SHIFTED SIGNIFICANTLY IN FAVOR OF A QUARRELING BOARD WHOSE PRIORITIES HAVE NOT BEEN TO KEEP TO ITS SOCIAL CONTRACT.

ARE 34567ED BY ACCUSATIONS THAT SHE HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN FILING TIMELY REPORTS.

>> THERE IS NO CENTRALIZATION OF CASH, CAPITAL ASSETS, INVESTMENT, INVENTORY.

LEASES, CONTRACTS, INVOICES, PAYROLL, GRANTS, LOANS.

CASH HAS MOVED THROUGH THE AGENCY WITHOUT EVER BEING RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC'S ACCOUNTING BOOK OF RECORD.

CAPITAL ASSETS ARE NOT PROPERLY RECORDED.

THIS IS YOUR EQUIPMENT BEING MOVED AROUND SO OFTEN THAT THE COUNTY LOSES TRACK OF IT.

INVOICES DO NOT GET PAID TIMELY OR AT ALL.

INVOICES GET LOST IN THE DESKS FOR MONTHS AT A TIME.

UNTIL THE VENDOR STARTS CALLING TO DEMAND PAYMENT FROM THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER.

BELIEVE IT ME IT HURTS EACH TIME WE CAN'T PAY SOMEONE'S INVOICE.

FOLLOWING THE SPEECH I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH PAZ DOMINGUEZ.

>> GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CHANGE UNTIL THE PEOPLE TELL IT'S TIME TO CHANGE.

I WAS HERE TO ASK THE PUBLIC TO TRUST IN ME, CONTINUE TRUSTING IN ME.

TRUST IN ME AGAIN.

I HAVE OUR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND.

I LIVE HERE.

AND MY FAMILY LIVES HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF A GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN'T TAKE THE PEOPLE'S BEST INTEREST IN ALL OF ITS GOVERNING AND GOVERNANCE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I HOPE YOU WILL ENGAGE IN THE CIVIC PROCESS AND VOTE JUNE 7TH.

>> THE BIGGEST HURTLE THAT I'VE HAD TO GO IN THE FOUR YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE AND HOPEFULLY THE FOUR YEARS TO COME ACCOUNTING SUCH A COMPLICATED AND COMPLEX TOPIC, THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED.

IT'S TOO COMPLICATED.

WHEN THE PRESS WRITES ABOUT IT THEY TEND TO SAY SHE PROVIDED COMPLICATED SPREADSHEETS.

>> RIGHT AND THEY MISS THE POINT.

>> IT'S NOT A SEXY TOPIC TO WRITE ABOUT.

>> IT DEPENDS.

I THINK ACCOUNTING IS PRETTY SEXY.

>> WELL I APPRECIATE THAT SENTIMENT AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN BRING TO LIGHT SOME MORE OF THE DETAILS ARE LESS UNDERSTOOD BY THE PUBLIC.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOU IN THE FUTURE THROUGHOUT YOUR CAMPAIGN.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> HOLD ON FOR JUST A SECOND.

JOHN BARTHOLOMEW.

HOLD ON FOR JUST A SECOND.

HERE WE GO.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY REVIEWED THE DOCUMENTS BY ED RING TON TO UFR HIS PERSPECTIVE.

JOHN BARTHOLOMEW HUMBOLDT COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR.

WE'RE ON KEET TV H. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK OVER THE ABOUT AND COUNTY STAFF AND THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER A'S OFFICE AND SOME OF THE ABSENCING INDICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HARD TO SUBSTANTIATE FROM A MEDIA PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE A LOT OF IT SAMS LIKE INTERPERSONAL STUFF.

I BROUGHT YOU HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE SOMEONE THAT KNOWS SOME OF THE ISSUES AND YOU'RE SOMEONE THAT HAS COME ON THE RECORD SORT OF BEING NOT NECESSARILY REFLECTIVELY CRITICAL OF THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER'S OFFICE AND THE COMPLAINTS SHE'S MAKING.

>> FIRST QUESTION I WANTED TO ASK YOU THE PEOPLE WHO'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORK THE STAFF THEY FILL ALL OF 9 OFFICES AND THEY DO ALL OF THE WORK.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE IMPACT BEEN ON THOSE EMPLOYEES NOT NECESSARILY ONES NAMED IN THE ABSENCING INDICATIONS BUT THE GENERAL ATTITUDE THAT'S BEEN CRITICAL OF COUNTY STAFF.

HOW HAS THAT AFFECTED FOLKS.

>> JAMES THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO YOUR PROGRAM.

I APPRECIATE.

PER YOUR QUESTION, SAID AUDITOR PAZ DOMINGUEZ HAS MADE ABSENCING INDICATIONS SINCE SHE'S BEEN IN OFFICE.

EVEN THOUGH THE ABSENCING INDICATIONS ARE BY AND LARGE UN AND PAINTING AS CORRUPT OR COMPLICIT IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

AND MAKING UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGE GASS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.

SHIASES THEM IN OF PORTRAYING HERSELF AS THE ONLY COUNTY EMPLOYEE THAT THE PUBLIC CAN TRUST.

THAT'S UNCONSCIOUS NUBL.

INCIDENTAL AFTER SPENDING FOUR YEARS OF BEING IN THE NAVY BEFORE JOINING THE COUNTY IN 2008 AS THE ASSISTANT TREADS RUR TAX COLLECTOR.

I'VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A FEW TIMES.

I FEEL IT HAS BEEN A REAL PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH COUNTY STAFF THAT DO THEIR SO I CONSIDER KAREN'S AN INSULT TO ALL COUNTY STAFF.

>> ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO'RE REMOVED FROM THE SITUATION, AND NOT VERSED IN THE INTRICACIES OF AUDITING LAW AND FINANCIAL RULES, ALL THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT LEGALLY PROBLEMATIC ABOUT SOME OF THE ABSENCING INDICATIONS SHE'S MADE.

>> NO.

>> AND THAT IS WHAT IS SO FRUSTRATING ABOUT IT.

IF THERE IS TRUE LEGAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING BEING DONE ILLEGALLY AT THE COUNTY IT WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE LIGHT OF DAY AT SOME POINT.

BECAUSE THE TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT IS MANDATED AND WE HAVE TO BE TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC.

SO YOU CAN'T HIDE THINGS THAT ARE LEGAL OR POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL.

>> NOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT -- I MEAN SO IF ANYTHING ELSE DO THESE ACCUSATIONS REPRESENT THE NORMAL SLOPPINESS OF BUREAUCRATIC PROCESSES OR IS IT EVEN THAT?

>> THERE IS YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE.

AND MISTAKES ARE MADE, AND I CONSIDER COUNTY WORK TO NOT BE SLOPPY, AND WE ARE SO HIGHLY REGULATED THAT WE HAVE TO DO THE JOBS AS ARE MANDATED BY STATE, FEDERAL AND LOCAL CODE.

SO >> THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM.

>> YES.

>> TWO OF THE THINGS WE MENTIONED IN OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATION WAS THAT SEEMED RATHER THAN THE $124 OR WHATEVER AMOUNT THAT WAS AND THE VEHICLE THAT WAS SOLD IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN NOTICED BEFORE AND BEEN LARGELY CORRECTED.

THIS ISN'T ANYTHING NEW THAT PEOPLE ARE SUDDENLY COMING OUT WITH.

>> A $124 THAT WAS STOLEN AND DISCOVERED IT WAS HANDLED PER THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE AT THAT TIME.

SINCE THEN WE HAVE WRITTEN A CASH POLICY THAT EVERY COUNTY DEPARTMENT MUST FOLLOW AT ALL TIMES.

WE'VE TIGHTENED THE POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRAUD AND SO THEY ARE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE.

$124 IS THE ONLY TRUE THEFT HAVING TAKEN PLACE AT THE COUNTY WITHIN COUNTY OPERATIONS.

I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE DONE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE COUNTY, AND BEYOND THEIR JOBS.

BUT THEY WERE CAUGHT.

AND REGARDING THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR DIFFICULTIES A FEW YEARS AGO WHEREBY THERE WAS PROPERTY THAT WAS SOLD TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR WHATNOT.

THAT WAS FULLY INVESTIGATED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, AND I HAVE THE QUOTE FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IF YOU WANT TO HEAR IT >> YEAH I DO.

>> DR. MS. FLEMMING OUR OFFICE HAS COMPLETED ABSENCE COMPUSTIVE OF THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR OF STATE PROPERTY.

A MATTER OF CONCERN WHICH WAS RIVERED TO US BY YOUR OFFICE.

THEY SENT OUR REVIEW.

WE HAVE CLOSED OUR FILE AND WILL NOT PURSUE CRIMINAL CHARGES IN THE MATTER.

WE RECOGNIZE THE HIGH LEVEL IN THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR AND NONE THAT THE AND NOTE THAT THE SHERIFF CORONER WHICH OVERSEES THAT FUNCTION HAS TAKEN SIGNIFICANT STEPS TO INCREASE CONTROLS AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN PERFORMING ITS DUTIES.

I WENT BACK AND READ ANOTHER COUPLE OF ARTICLES.

IMMEDIATELY WHEN THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE LIGHT OF DAY, THE SHERIFF ORDERED ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS SOLD TO SHERIFF DEPUTIES TO BE RETURNED.

AND THEN HE IMPLEMENTED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM THAT'S BENEFIXED.

>> CORRECT.

ONE OF THE POINTS WAS BASICALLY CALLING OUT THE PROCESS THIS HAS UNDERGONE.

IF THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER AND THEY WOULDN'T ANNOUNCE IT VIA A PRESS RELEASE.

THEY WOULD TURN IT INTO YOU KNOW THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO WOULD PUSH IT TO THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S'S OFFICE.

DO YOU HAVE THAT SAME UNDERSTANDING.

>> YES.

ANYTHING THAT IS FOUND TO BE FRAUDULENT IS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORITY WHICHEVER AUTHORITY THAT MAY BE.

WHETHER IT'S THE SHERIFF OR GOING TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OR SOME KIND OF IRREGULARITIES THAT ARE FOUND WITHIN THE CASH HANDLING PROCEDURES OR PETTY CASH IMBALANCES IN ANY DEPARTMENT GOES TO THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER FIRST FOR AN AUDIT INVESTIGATION BY HER OFFICE.

AND FROM THERE IF IT WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR POTENTIAL PROSECUTION THEN THAT IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND DONE.

>> ONE OF THE THING IT SEEMS TO ME READING SOME OF THE E-MAILS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON SOCIAL MEDIA THERE'S BEEN A SOFTWARE UPDATES AND THINGS WHERE THERE'S BEEN CHANGES OF SYSTEMS, AND THAT PART OF THE ISSUE OR PROBLEM IS THAT THE SOURED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER AND STAFF HAS MADE THAT A LOT MORE DIFFICULT.

WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT.

WHY HAS THERE BEEN A LOT OF UPDATES.

>> I'LL KEEP IT FAIRLY SHORT.

THE COUNTY IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO UPDATE TECHNOLOGY USED, SERVICES PROVIDED, ALL NECESSARY OPERATING SYSTEMS TO KEEP OUR COUNTY FUNCTIONING AS BEST AS IT CAN POSSIBLY CAN.

AND FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR OFFICE SINCE I JOINED THE OFFICE IN 2008 WE HAVE UPDATED OR TOTALLY CHANGED ALL OF THE OPERATING SYSTEMS THAT WE HAVE IN THE OFFICE AND WE'VE ADDED NEW PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WHICH HAS GIVEN US MORE PROFICIENCY.

WE HAVE BETTER DATA CONTROL ET CETERA.

SO THIS IS A CONSTANT PROCESS NOSHED FOR THE COUNTY TO KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES.

AND IF I MIGHT I DID REVIEW ALL OF THOSE EMAILS AND DOCUMENTS THAT WERE UPLOADED, AND I'LL JUST MENTION A FEW OF THOSE THINGS.

REGARDING THE ADP PROJECT AND THAT WAS A PROJECT TO BASICALLY HAVE A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR HANDLE MUCH OF THE PAYROLL PROCESS.

THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS DIRECTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AND THAT DIRECTION MEANS AND MEANT THAT ANY DEPARTMENT THAT HAD ANY CONNECTION TO OR REQUIREMENT FOR THE PAYROLL PROCESS HAS TO ENGAGE IN GETTING THAT PROJECT.

JARED CLARK WAS THE PROJECT MANAGER AND HE DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB COORDINATING BETWEEN THE ADP AND REQUIRED DEPARTMENTS TO THAT IT ROLLED FOR IT BEING ACCOMPLISHED.

AND UNFORTUNATELY A HUGE AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME WAS UTILIZED AND RESOURCES EXPENDED TO TRY TO GET THAT PROJECT OFF THE GROUND.

AND ULTIMATELY IT WAS TERMINATED.

BUT THE REASON IT WAS TERMINATED IS BECAUSE ADP SOLD THE COUNTY ON SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITIES THAT THE COUNTY REQUIRES AND BUT THE COUNTY WAS TOLD WOULD BE AVAILABLE ONCE THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED.

BUT AFTER THE COUNTY EXPENDED A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND LOTS OF STAFF HOURS AND MONEY TOWARDS GETTING THAT THE PROJECT IN PLACE, ADP ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT THE COUNTY REQUIRES.

SO TO ME IF THERE'S ANY FRAUD AT ALL INVOLVED IN THAT PROJECT IT WAS ON ADP'S SIDE.

FOR THE PROCESSING.

>> SO IT'S REALLY BEEN TWISTED IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE ACCUSATIONS AS BEING SOMETHING THAT COUNTY STAFF ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF.

AND THAT'S NOT TRUE.

AND KAREN HAS USED IT OFTENTIMES IN HER DISCUSSIONS AND WHATNOT, AND HAD SHE FULLY ENGAGED WITH THAT PROJECT WHICH ALL OTHER STAFF DID, AND WERE REQUIRED TO DO, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DETERMINED A LOT SOONER THAT ADP COULD NOT PROVIDE ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO.

SO THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERMINATED SOONER THAN IT WAS.

I THINK THAT KAREN'S INCOMPETENT MANAGERIAL ABILITIES LACK OF COMPETENT MANAGERIAL ABILITIES COUPLED SHE IS RIGHT IN NEARLY ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AS CREATED A BRAIN DRAIN FROM THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE WHEN SHE TOOK OVER WHICH LED TO PAYROLL MOVED OVER TO THE HR AND MANY LONG-TERM COPY STAFF MEMBERS TO LEAVE TO OTHER JOBS OR RETIRE.

THAT REMOVED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, AND SO IT'S IN A VERY DIFFICULT TRANSITION FOR MANY, MANY PEOPLE, AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER'S OFFICE FOR STICKING IT OUT.

THERE'S THREE STAFF MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THERE SINCE BEFORE KAREN TOOK OFFICE AND I REALLY ADMIRE THEM AND I THANK THEM AND ALLOF THE NEW STAFF MEMBERS WHO'RE WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY, AND HARD AND WITH INTEGRITY TO GET THE JOB DONE.

SO IT'S NOT -- THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STAFF MEMBER.

I JUST THINK KAREN IS IN THE WRONG PERSON IN THAT POSITION.

>> AWESOME SIR.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

RIO DELL HAS FOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY FOR MICHAEL EVANSON HAS DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE AND ENDORSED DILLINGHAM.

>> MANY OF THE DONORS YOU MENTIONED THEY WILL LIKELY SAY WE WANT THE OLD KHSU BACK.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE PEOPLE.

>> THE UNIVERSITY DECIDED TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH KHSU.

WE ARE HERE FACILITATING THAT DIRECTION.

>> IS IT FAIR TO INTERPRET ABOUT A NEW DIRECTION AS MEANING THERE'S VERY LITTLE DANCE THERE'S GOING TO BE LOCAL DEEJAYS ON KHSU.

>> CERTAINLY NOT IN THE SHORT-TERM.

WE HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO EXPLORE WHAT THAT ADDITIONAL NATIONAL PROGRAM IS YET.

WE WANT TO GET THAT UP AND RE-ESTABLISH LISTENERSHIP PERIOD BEFORE WE ADD ANY LOCAL PROGRAMMING.
