The Scott County Board of Supervisors offered words of praise at its Tuesday morning meeting about a pair of awards that seem to arrive like clockwork at this time of year.
The county received Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. This is the 22ndstraight year the county has received the award, and Scott County six counties in Scott County to receive the certificate.
The award also shows the continuing quality the county has in its accounting and management since half the team that gained praise from the board, Auditor Roxana Moritz and Treasurer Bill Fennelly have been in the job for about a year.
Along with Craig Hufford, financial management supervisor for the Treasurer, and Wes Rostenbach, accounting and tax manager for the Auditor, county administrator Dee Bruemmer and budget manager Sarah Kautz, who joined the county with the retirement of administrator Ray Wierson, were singled out.
Also, this is the fifth year in a row the county has won a Digital Counties award from the National Association of Counties, recognizing innovation and hard work. The county received third place for its population size. Illinois’ Peoria County finished just below Scott County in fourth place.
