HERKES: <br />RAY: <br />Takahashi. <br />I'd like to just pursue that to see whether that's - yes. <br />Okay, yes, earmark that and let's follow up on that with Mr. <br />Anything else under Department of Finance? <br />HERKES: The Auditor, when not in conflict with the Charter. The Auditor of <br />the County is provided by law. Do we have an Auditor or is the Treasurer our Auditor, <br />or is that something you want to leave? That came up before, yes. <br />RAY: That is a discussion which we have already embarked on with Mr. <br />Takahashi so I'd like to have him here because that's something that we very much <br />need to talk about and address. <br />HERKES: Okay. <br />IRVINE: John, yes, I feel that's a big subject too because every time the <br />County gets audited at the end of every year, the outside Auditors say we need to have <br />an internal audit and I do have those papers. I guess I haven't passed them out to <br />everyone because maybe we didn't have our Secretary doing that at that time but <br />maybe everybody should get these papers and I'II pass them out. But Takahashi talked <br />about the problem. There's a Legislative Auditor at the County Council and then if we <br />set up an Auditor here, and he was worried that they didn't have specific duties to find, <br />in his testimony. <br />RAY: In both cases, right? So it creates a lot of misunderstanding. <br />IRVINE: Yes, so I wonder, would it make any sense to ask the Legislative <br />Auditor to come by when he's here to discuss this so that we could clarify what we're <br />doing? I mean, or is Legislative Auditor a good name for what goes on in that office? <br />Maybe it just creates confusion. <br />RAY: Right, yes, we can pursue that, sure. Okay. Also under the <br />Department of Finance, 5-3.4. The Pension Board. Have we received anything? <br />HENRY: No sir. <br />RAY: Does anybody have any thoughts in regard to the Pension Board? <br />YUEN: This covers a small group of people. This is old County pensions <br />and Gary will probably explain this better than I do but this is not the pension system <br />that everybody's in now. This is people that are on these really old County pensions. <br />That's who's covered by this Pension Board. <br />27 <br />
