Officials: Adequate training provided to Treasures staff
Placeholder Image
Staff members from the Barton County Treasurer’s Office contacted the Great Bend Tribune last week, wanting the public to hear their side of the story and how they felt slighted by their portrayal in the media.At the heart of their complaint was what they saw as a lack of training when the office converted to new software. It was this conversion County Treasurer Kevin Wondra blamed in part for delays in getting financial information ready for county auditors.However, County Administrator Richard Boeckman Monday morning told county commissioners he had researched the matter and determined there had been ample training. He said he went through hundreds of pages of records and “found no basis for the assertions that the training was improper.”After the Tribune published an article based on interviews with Treasurer’s Office personnel on Friday, Boeckman was contacted by Pam Meadows of Computer Information Concepts Inc.
