County staff said the sheriff’s office had taken corrective steps and that the administration plans to offer short, practical training sessions—about 20 minutes once or twice a year—and record the sessions for the county’s DRP training documentation and website. “We’ve got a big nursing class. It makes, like, more short. But what point thing are the most likely things people will meet us and have maybe a a 20 minute training once or twice a year up in the conference room,” a county staff member said. Staff added they plan to record those trainings and post them with the DRP training materials.

Mr. Warren, who introduced the item, recommended approving the exception and said the sheriff had already completed corrective actions and moved budgeting and procurement responsibilities to staff with more time and expertise. The commission seconded the motion and approved it. Staff said they will also consider short training classes and encouraged attendance by county departments that handle purchasing.

Commissioners did not provide a dollar amount tied to the corrective action; no contract awards or ordinance changes were recorded in the discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Financial Management Committee (Cam2) 6/5/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Sumner County Commission approved an exception for a sheriff’s office purchasing issue after sheriff Craddock implemented corrective action; staff said short in-person trainings and recorded modules will be provided to help prevent future procurement errors.","taxTitle","Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",19115,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210811,"Commission approves new-employee payroll callback to take effect July 1",38,520000,558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3709983-a2900f25137c9aa658e20850bdefce7e&start=520&end=558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3709983-a2900f25137c9aa658e20850bdefce7e/thumbnail_520000.jpg","/articles/6210811/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Commission-approves-new-employee-payroll-callback-to-take-effect-July-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210811-03d5ac4b5744a217e25b8a2776188b2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770854708&Signature=n0kGVhzUrGS462Y~QvWaTjWNABhMKx0I8GidwduXTTN5c3MUkANMSlgT99fe51yC3NxXU9UuJnB4HdiGQss3~Y~jRwKw9NDv9QmPCgD8~hrsobGriy6~mRrrHzJr6mxD37nrKJT~SEgpGvtxQZx9JY0uYUmd7vrw13Bwqs9AxrhreV2rR~SprKvwhrEKst3-GLuAk7sPXCaUgRkua7QruevNrXrY2Cm1CQjY8TjKNQ6oXPJ0oM4hPhBmy66lC-5BGQAjtvRkQYQXfDY0RTYGd6xSGujbIxJLV05bCFocUhE9gu1h2L1Cctx-fwXq3dri9LHLEaht4GAgfhyUTuIX-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sumner County Commission voted on June 5 to proceed with a resolution to implement a new-employee payroll callback that staff said will be ready by July 1.

A staff member moved to approve forwarding the item to the commission for resolution and another participant seconded the motion; the chair called for the vote and the motion passed.

Staff said the July 1 timing is intended to allow testing before the change affects payroll operations. The commission did not provide further details about how the callback will alter pay procedures or which departments will be affected.

The item was advanced to a formal resolution for the commission to adopt at a future meeting.","Sumner County commissioners approved implementing a payroll change to separate new employees in the county system, with staff saying the change will be ready for July 1 to allow fiscal-year testing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210817,"Resident warns Sumner County commission that adopting 1981 financial law could force 12-year restatement of reports",310,57000,367000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3709983-a2900f25137c9aa658e20850bdefce7e&start=57&end=367","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3709983-a2900f25137c9aa658e20850bdefce7e/thumbnail_57000.jpg","/articles/6210817/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Resident-warns-Sumner-County-commission-that-adopting-1981-financial-law-could-force-12-year-restatement-of-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210817-1d28e5eecf49aed6e3168c59dfe7c150/orig.mp4?Expires=1770854708&Signature=Yb-NIISUIIP3hjuE1T690Ka7ILnuklrEX64Ns-brYpZuK4wXw20Z2LHC4IOp4mpgCxNtJaFAKmmPxEm-bjpy~YoLZ~QJlt2J0yt-X5-sAkf7lDAm~HpR2VeZN04tlZCcrC3pqi-vriqy3-8g~n8XyF~7P-M6Kei0Ybd6QTtvydNv3HtaB8iW6ASntK~6I4PT82EllFotRzTEf4rndH11K~jzGCLNzX8ATu1xik0hvEIwHNMPUbdrqE9KlJIzBBqF7VCghAOXa~7VNHR1v8bWIi~lZ2RwNvD1-IzhAkTFH9WdjQHFZAJhIFCK~YJ5tdXoxX-0rCigxhdqq~Z4pFJ3Gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alma Webb, a Sumner County resident, told the county commission on June 5 that adopting the county’s so-called 1981 Financial Management Act could require restating 12 years of annual reports and prompt investor litigation under the federal Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Webb said the 2012 Financial Management Act already applies and cautioned that switching to the 1981 law now “could affect our credit ratings by trying to restate 12 annual report[s],” a change she said could let bondholders seek repayment or other remedies. She added the county should avoid a national search for a finance director and instead hire candidates familiar with Tennessee accounting and law. “If you guys wanna send up a $60,000 grant,” Webb said, “so they will not be the first government to waste money.”

Webb also urged the county to follow the 2012 Financial Management Act’s procedures if that is the governing statute and said the mayor would oversee any search for a finance director under that law. She warned that a restatement could create a mismatch between previously issued bonds’ interest rates and current market rates, potentially creating investor demand to unwind past transactions.

Her remarks were made during the meeting’s public-comment period; commissioners did not take a formal vote or direct staff to adopt the 1981 Act during the meeting. Webb recommended local hiring and said county staff such as David Lyon have practical procurement experience she considers valuable, even if they are not attorneys. She concluded by urging commissioners to “look at the approach of how this is happening because I think that we just claim the fire and we . . . mess[ ] with our credibility and the quality of our annual report.”

No formal action was recorded on Webb’s suggestions at the June 5 meeting. The commission’s subsequent agenda items addressed minutes approval, payroll implementation timing and a sheriff’s purchasing exception.","During public comment on June 5, resident Alma Webb urged commissioners to avoid reverting to the 1981 Financial Management Act, saying doing so could require restating 12 years of annual reports and expose the county to investor claims under federal securities laws.","actionData","errors"]
