Two recent meetings of the Hays County Commissioners Court have generated concerns regarding the status of operations in many county offices.
Hays County Commissioner Precinct-3 Lon Shell in a statement he provided to the Daily Record summarized what he said had occurred regarding potential errors in the computing of the Hays County employee payroll and the subsequent movement of payroll duties from the county Treasurer’s Office to the Budget Office and his reasoning for initiating a special meeting of the court held Tuesday.
County officials were contacted about reaching out to Hays County Commissioner Precinct-1 Debbie Ingalsbe, Hays County Commissioner Precinct-2 Michelle Cohen and Hays County Commissioner Precinct-4 Walt Smith for their take and comments on specific details related to to what some say may be a pending investigation. Responses reaffirmed what was told to the Daily Record Wednesday by Assistant District Attorney Gregg Cox: they were not legally able to comment on the status of 'a pending investigation.'
