Court reviews missing server and retired computers after auditor flagged asset list irregularities

A court member reported on a past incident in which an old county server and two computers were removed by a vendor (referred to as Apprentice) and a disposal/destruction letter was obtained. The speaker said the new server was added to inventory but the older items were not removed from the asset list as expected, leaving the auditor with questions about the disposition of two computers and multiple monitors.

The speaker told the court that paperwork documenting destruction and pickup by the vendor exists for one server and that two computers were donated to the library while others went to trash during a basement cleanout. County staff said they believed an asset tag mix‑up or disposal error occurred; one machine was estimated to be worth about $20 by a county staffer because of its age. The auditor requested that the matter be noted in the minutes and asked for any remaining documentation to reconcile the asset list.

No formal vote or disciplinary action was recorded during the discussion; court members agreed to include the issue in the administrative record and to provide required documentation to the auditor.
