The Bradley County Audit Committee met on Monday covering several items of business. Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis goes over financial findings specific to his departments. One department was not making deposits as quickly as they should have been, but the issue only occurred a few times and had been corrected. A discussion was had about Commissioner Davis and her company in regards to the job her company had been subcontracted to do by another company performing work for the county. It was determined that as she had not taken any job before the voting, she should have simply made a disclosure once she was offered the job. The commission and audit findings did not seem to indicate any further issue surrounding the contract.
