County Audit Yields 52 Recommendations

Changes will be coming to the way Tulsa County handles its business.  The chairman of the Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday released the results of a performance audit conducted over the last year.

A committee made up of 11 citizens compiled a list of ideas to help Tulsa County run on less money and more efficiently.

A key part of the audit was a survey given to all 457 employees of the county.

"In my experience in doing these types of things, we smashed all records by getting an almost 80% response rate.  The employees deserve a gold medal," said Tulsa County Commission Deputy Terry Simonson.

The audit came up with 52 recommendations.  County leaders will now figure out which ones should be adopted, and how.
