Audit reveals interesting discovery, according to Cache County Clerk

LOGAN — The Cache County Clerk and Auditor’s office has been busy with doing and releasing many audits. On KVNU’s For the People program last week, Cache County Clerk Jess Bradfield said they have a goal when it comes to releasing audits.

“We’ve concluded two formal audits already this year, we’re putting the audits out at about…well, I don’t know if we released our first one in January or February. Our goal is to put out one a month, so we’ve put out two audits and a fraud risk assessment. So, you could say two and a half so far, and we’re on pace to break any record that’s ever occurred and we set that last year,”  Bradfield explained.

He said his office also looks at real property that the county owns and seeing what property that the county doesn’t use and deciding if it should be put up for surplus.

Bradfield said they recently discovered something surprising.

“Kind of an interesting little thing that we found is that the county actually owns the building that Bear River Health is in. That’s kind of been a fun audit…they didn’t know that they didn’t own it, and we didn’t know that we did. And so now we’ve turned our findings over to the legal team and the legal team is now going through the process with Bear River Health to remedy that.”

He said it involves millions of dollars that they acquired in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, and now it’s time to return it to its rightful owner, which is the Bear River Health Department.

    What I would like to know is how many peoples land have they claimed without the owners knowing it? It would be interesting to see how much land they actually own and how they acquired it.
