Finding for recovery of $5,961 issued against Scioto Ambulance District’s former fiscal officer

COLUMBUS – A finding for recovery of $5,961 was issued Thursday against the former fiscal officer for the Scioto Ambulance District in McDermott over penalties that resulted from late tax and retirement system payments.

Tracy Mullins and her bonding company are jointly and severally liable for the finding, which was included in an audit of the district’s finances from Jan. 1, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2021.

The full report is available online at https://ohioauditor.gov/auditsearch/search.aspx.

Over the two-year period reviewed, the district was assessed penalties for late payments of invoices, taxes, and retirement contributions, including $4,651 by the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Auditors noted, “The payment of late fees and penalties due to the inability of the fiscal officer to make timely payment is not a proper public purpose.”
