Morrison County commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution delegating vendor-payment authority to the auditor-treasurer and to move vendor payments to weekly auditor warrants, with the board receiving a weekly register for review.
Shannon of the auditor-treasurer's office told the board the change is intended to improve transparency and efficiency by consolidating warrant processing in the auditor's office while preserving department sign-offs and existing review steps. Shannon said departments remain responsible for reviewing and approving invoices before they reach the treasurer’s office.
The resolution cites Minnesota Statutes (275.18) as authorization for county boards to validate authority to pay claims. Commissioners agreed to review the warrant-process change after six months to gather staff feedback and amend the process if needed.
The board approved the motion in a roll-call vote; the resolution passed on a unanimous vote.
