A report on board attorney Paul Silverman's investigation of harassment allegations was scheduled to be presented at the executive and finance committee meeting Thursday afternoon, but Boggs' resignation letter was presented instead. The committee decided to pay Boggs's salary, travel allowance and accrued vacation time through Thursday. On advice from Silverman, the committee also decided to make it a mutual release, meaning both Boggs and the board are released from any liability or claim against each other. Silverman told the committee there was no grounds for liability against Boggs. Van Taylor, who prepared the 1999-2000 audit for the board, said that what seemed to be an error was actually standard practice.
Revenue is given to the board after it incurs costs.
Because the revenue for the past year's costs cannot be recorded in the following year, that revenue which had not come in by June 30 was recorded in the past year, balancing the financial records. The board, not realizing that was how the records were balanced, continued spending, letting their debt grow, instead of managing it. The board will discontinue enrolling new clients under the Workforce Investment Act-Adult training funds. These are funds for econmically disadvantaged adults to take occupational demand educational classes, including truck-driving courses. Clients already in these programs will not be affected.
