individuals on the Committee who will be carrying the banner for us to various civic groups. He personally will have the first meeting tomorrow with the Taxpayer's Association and will take Administrator Chandler with him. Commissioner Scurlock informed the Board that Clerk Jeffrey Barton has indicated an interest in serving on the Finance Advisory Committee, and he would ask that Mr. Barton be added to that Committee as a voting member. Commissioner Scurlock further reported that Chairman Wheeler asked him to attend the Audit exit meeting since he had been Chairman last year and heavily involved in the Finance Committee. One of the audit comments made under the Board and also under the Clerk is a request for us to to address the issue of an interne auditor. OMB Director Baird has been thrust into that position many times, and it was very cumbersome. Commissioner Scurlock advised that the Finance Advisory Committee tentatively would recommend that we go with an internal auditor and also tentatively recommend the establishment of an Internal Audit Committee. The suggested composition of that committee at this time would be Mr. Barton from the Clerk's side, Mr. Baird who works directly under the Board, himself as Chairman of the Finance Advisory Committee, and two members of the Finance Advisory Committee have volunteered - Mr. Morrison and Mr. Putnam. He has not yet had a chance to discuss this with the new Administrator, but the feeling was that the Internal Auditor has to be completely independent and able to do his work independently and then make a recommendation through that Audit Committee to be forwarded to the Commission. Commissioner Scurlock anticipated that position would not be a mid -year hire but would be considered in next year's budget. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the addition of Clerk Barton to the Finance Advisory Committee as a voting member.
