County payroll dispute overpayment by former precinct clerk
County officials are unsure how much former Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace clerk Kim Brown was overpaid during her nonworking period from 2014 to 2016. A settlement requires Brown to repay more than 22,000 dollars. Officials say the figure is likely accurate but refuse to assign blame to any single person. County Judge Ron Eckert and County Commissioner Greg Simmons discuss methods using computer logins and badge swipes to estimate days paid for nonwork, with HR director Pat Patton asserting hours and sign‑offs support the final amount. The matter remains under review as Kupfer notes uncertainty in exact days. See COUNTY Page 5A
