4:36 PM- We are now on to our final interview with James Benuzzi who has entered the room.
4:39 PM- He is giving his opening statement about his background and experience in the world of finance. I must say that he was really brief with his statement.
4:40 PM- Supervisor Spitzer asked about his education, Benuzzi responded that he has an MBA from Chapman University and has experience implementing accounting systems in different realms. His experience in Placentia showed him how government can effectively fail.
4:43 PM- On a follow up question Benuzzi stated that he will run for re-election and feels strongly because he believes that making a commitment requires following through on that commitment. If not appointed he stated that he would strongly consider running because he likes the idea of committing to public service.
4:46 PM- Supervisor Nguyen asked about what improvements can be made to the current office. Benuzzi answered that he would fully implement the property tax management system.
4:47 PM- His interview is flying by, which is not a very good sign. Considering two weeks ago Dick Ackerman, Harry Sidhu, and Michael J. Fox were the only interviews to run short. On a personal note, he is a very likeable guy.
4:50 PM- Supervisor Bates asked about the internal audit function. His answer was very technical although he appears to like the current system in place which is having an internal auditor currently reports to the Board of Supervisors.
4:52 PM- Supervisor Nelson asked about his integrity and if it has ever been tested. Benuzzi talked about doing fraud audits and how he would always do his job without bending the rules on any investigation. On a follow up question Benuzzi talked about his leadership skills being an asset that he would use without being autocratic.
4:54 PM- in response to the questions from Supervisor Moorlach; he is not receiving a public pension, has an MBA from Chapman, has not been sued or involved in any investigation.
4:55 PM- In closing he looks forward to the opportunity to serve.

4:06- We are taking a sixty second break but George Beck is in the room. Stay tuned, we’ll be right back after these messages from our sponsors.
4:09 PM- In his opening statement he talked about his undergraduate work at UCLA and has done graduate work at Cal State Fullerton. He currently works for the Los Angeles Unified School District and works directly with the food services department. He was the city auditor for Houston, Texas and has an extensive background in the business world.
4:14 PM- He talked about this being a calling for him and not just a job.
4:15 PM- Supervisor Spitzer asked why LAUSD has not broken up into smaller districts. Beck answered that LAUSD has had major problems in the past and breaking it into smaller districts requires certain stakeholders such as unions and other influence groups to get behind it.
4:18 PM- On a follow up question Beck stated that he ran for office in high school (jokingly), but in all seriousness stated that he would run for reelection. Though he does not know if he would run of not given the appointment.
4:20 PM- Supervisor Nguyen asked what operational areas need improvement, if any. Beck answered that he would first have to learn about what the office is like. How automation is going, would be a question he would ask immediately and focus in on this.
4:23 PM- Supervisor Bates asked about his experience with a property tax management system. He answered that his only experience is through paying his own property taxes. On a follow up question he answered that an internal audit function would be appropriate to have under the right circumstances.
4:27 PM- Supervisor Nelson asked about a time when his personal integrity was tested. beck answered that he has not been put in the position to have to make a stand on integrity. In Houston he did have on instance when he was doing an audit and felt that issues existed. Instead of keeping quiet he did bring issues forward to his supervisor in Houston.
4:31 PM- Supervisor Moorlach asked his questions. Beck is not receiving any public pension, has not been sued or involved in any investigation, has never run for public office, and has a Bachelors degree. His CPA license is from Virginia and he talked about his inability to qualify for the license in California or Texas because he did not have the experience requirement met.
4:34 PM- In closing he talked about his appreciation for the opportunity to interview and admitted that his chances to get the job may be slim but he will make the commitment to be a great Auditor-Controller.

3:40 PM- Jan Grimes has entered the room.
3:42 PM- In her introduction she talked about her 34 years working in the office of the Orange County Auditor-Controller. All of her experience which is broad in finance comes from within Orange County. She talked of different successes that have taken place under her watch in the department.
3:46 PM- Supervisor Spitzer asked about why she stated that she would not run originally for the office. She stated that it is not her aspiration to run and if appointed she would consider it if she felt that the qualification of the other candidates were not up to the standards of the office.
3:50 PM- If not appointed and the field were not up to the standards of the office she states that she would run. Nelson explained that incumbency would likely dictate whether or not candidates run.
3:52 PM- She danced around the question and said that she might run???
3:54 PM- Supervisor Nguyen asked about why improvements have not been looked at in the last year. She responded that she has been looking into the necessary improvements in the office but has been busy since she is currently doing the equivalent of working two jobs in the department.
3:55 PM- On a follow up technology question she talked about different committees she has worked with to improve technology.
3:57 PM- When asked about internal audit being a part of the office by Supervisor Bates, she stated that she was comfortable either with or without it.
3:59 PM- Supervisor Nelson asked about being innovative through a technological strategic partnership. Grimes stated that this is achievable, although challenges would exist in getting a system in place.
4:01 PM- Supervisor Moorlach asked his question. She is not currently receiving a public pension, has a bachelors degree in accounting, is involved only in lawsuits through her county position, has not been investigated, and has not run for public office before.
4:04 PM- In closing, she expresses her appreciation for the opportunity to interview.

2:18 PM- I skipped making a Starbucks run to get here on time for the 1:30 meeting and we are still awaiting the return of the Supervisors. As soon as we get rolling I will have the updates for our first interview right here.
2:36 PM- The Supervisors are now back in the room and ready to start interviewing the four remaining applicants, starting with Eric Woolery.
3:13 PM- Eric Woolery is now in the room after another delay.
3:15 PM- in his introduction Woolery spoke about his great pleasure to be considered for the position. He talked about his ability to bring his experience in the public sector and private sector to the table. While working in his current job with the Riverside County DA’s office and weathering a storm of 26 million dollars in state cuts without cutting jobs.
3:21 PM- he wrapped up his introduction with a lot of talk about creating an open line of communication.
3:22 PM- on a question about realignment from Supervisor Spitzer , Woolery explained that realignment applies not just to prisons but social services. He talked about working with the Supervisors to help them if they fight against prison realignment by providing any needed financial analysis.
3:25 PM- on a follow up question Woolery stated that if he is appointed he will run. If not appointed he will defer to the will of the Supervisors.
3:26 PM- On two questions from Supervisor Nguyen, he talked about looking into the revenue stream and making sure that all money is accounted for. On a technology question, he discussed a technology update currently taking place in Riverside and the financial analysis he has provided on the new technology.
3:29 PM- On a question from Supervisor Nelson, Woolery talked about his experience as an external auditor when he worked in the private sector. In Riverside he is the contact person in Riverside for the external audits. In terms of administration on a follow up question he talked about other experience that he has in the field of finance.
3:30 PM- Supervisor Bates asked about experience with property tax management systems. He stated that he has none and on a follow up answer he talked about the internal audit function that no longer exists in OC.
3:33 PM- On a character question from Supervisor Nelson, Woolery talked about issues that existed when the previous Riverside DA Rod Pacheco left office. He talks about heat that he took because he called the office out on being fast and loose with the money.
3:35 PM- The Moorlach questions went by and were the same as before. Woolery is not receiving a public pension, has a degree from Cal State Fullerton, has not been investigated or involved in any lawsuits. He has run for County Board of Education and County Board of Supervisors.
3:38 PM- In closing, he talked about this being his dream job.

1:31 PM- We are back for another crazy day of live-blogging. Wait… One more dropped out? Ok, only four interviews today which should make it a short day.
1:46 PM- Just got to talk with Hugh Nguyen and I must say that Orange County has an absolutely awesome Clerk-Recorder.
1:47 PM- Supervisors are running late so I am stepping out for a bit. Live blogging will resume in a bit.

This article is the brain child of an anonymous e-mail that was sent to me yesterday in response to my article talking about the issues that the new Orange County Auditor-Controller will face. If my calculations are correct, the new A-C will inherit an at least $14 million revenue shortfall. You can read the report here: Internal_Audit_Report_1250.
Tomorrow we can expect to see a newly appointed Orange County elected official in place with the Orange County Supervisors set to appoint a new Auditor-Controller after interviewing five applicants. I have talked to a few elected officials about the candidates since I know very little about the applicants in place and the consensus opinion is that either Jan Grimes or Eric Woolery will likely get the appointment.
I am obviously a partisan Republican and would like to see a Republican appointed to the seat which would lead me to lean in the direction of Eric Woolery. Jan Grimes very well might strive to be a good governance type of Democrat, but in this she hasn’t much succeeded and the Dems have a very bad track record in County offices, with the only two in the last 20 years being Tom Daly and Bob Citron (need I say more). Republicans are not perfect either as I will point out that John Williams was a Republican (sigh) serving in the office of Orange County Public Administrator/Guardian.
An internal audit report titled Audit Alert 1250 Auditor-Controller Opportunity to Clarify County Revenue Policy shows me that Jan Grimes, who currently runs the A-C office, has received a great deal of criticisms from Peter Hughes the director of the Orange County Internal Audit Department. I want to preface this by stating that I have read every page in the attachment sent to me and this is not corruption which we saw Renee Ramirez get accused of but shows a very frightening glimpse into problems with the way the office of Orange County Auditor Controller is currently being run. If I understand this report correctly, we really shouldn’t allow a Democrat to continue to be in charge.
In addition to an almost $500,000 budget over-run so far this year in the Auditor-Controller’s office, there are also a lot of shortfalls that are being overlooked and not corrected or brought to the board’s attention by the ACO.
Because the analysis is boring, I will begin with my conclusion:
Under Jan Grimes’ leadership, three departments named in this report were collectively short on revenue totaling $13.5 million at the half-year point this year. This is very concerning to taxpayers as we rely on the Auditor-Controller to ensure public monies are spent wisely. It looks like the Auditor-Controller’s office has been lax in their oversight duties and it costs the county money that could have gone to public safety, infrastructure or job creation, this is beyond a major problem. It is bad Governance and the BOS has a chance to fix this.
Here is a recap of what was found in the report after I took the time to try to understand it:
1st Observation: The Auditor-Controller is not documenting their limited reviews because they wanted to “avoid giving assurance that a more detailed review was completed.” What I think this means is that the BOS thinks certain areas are being audited, but the internal auditors are just doing a cursory look. This strikes me as a very odd and a somewhat deceptive approach since the current policy of the Board of Supervisors requires a documented audit. This leads me to my second observation.
2nd Observation: Since the current Board of Supervisors has requested an audit of revenue items and the Auditor-Controller is doing only a limited review there is a possibility of an expectation gap between what the Board thinks is being done and what the Auditor-Controller is actually doing. I hope that Ms. Grimes has effectively communicated that to the Board.
3rd Observation: It seems to me that the Board of Supervisors was cut out of a major political and policy decision again. This time, according to Peter Hughes, it is in regards to the fees charged by the Health Care Agency (HCA) by the Auditor-Controller and CEO. HCA made the policy decision for the BOS when they decided that the “political and economic environment was sensitive to raising county fees” so they did not inform the Board that the fee structure did not cover their costs. The Auditor-Controller with the CEO agreed that since HCA was not raising fees the Board did not need to know. My knowledge of county finances are limited but I do know if you don’t charge enough to cover your costs the taxpayers will be paying the difference. The problem here I see is the Board never got to make that choice, and now the county will be faced with more budget shortfalls.
4th Observation: The report also states the “limited reviews” for OC Public Works and OC Waste and Recycling were riddled with errors. One of the errors documented in Dr. Hughes’ audit report stated that the checklist indicated that an item was reviewed in the audit but it was actually missing from the financial report. According to my CPA, the staff performing these reviews where failing in their duty of professional care, he also contrasted that if he had performed work with errors like this he would probably be disciplined by the State Board of Accountancy.
5th Observation: I reviewed the website and org chart of the Auditor-Controller’s office to better understand what they are doing and how they approached their work. I was a little surprised to see that the satellite accounting operations of the Auditor-Controller performs the accounting work for the Health Care Agency, OC Public works and OC Waste and Recycling. According to their org chart, the Central Operations of the Auditor-Controller’s office reviews the countywide cost plan to maximize county revenues. So one branch of the Auditor-Controller’s office creates the revenue fees and the other reviews it. So the Auditor-Controller had two opportunities to get these revenue fees correct but it took the Internal Audit Department to find it?
Looks to me like the new A-C is going to have his or her hands full! Good luck, and we hope that this gets straightened out, as the taxpayers deserve to have competent public servants.

We are now moving on to the last few days prior to the appointment of a new Orange County Auditor-Controller. Ironically I learned an interesting tidbit of information while I was sitting at the Orange County Registrar of Voters this week about a candidate who was not initially planning on running for this position. First off, we learned that two applicants Alexander Yu and Nick Pham have withdrawn their applications and thus will not be taking place in an interview. The one thing that strikes me on this office is that we have no political insiders that currently are involved in this process which is a great thing in my opinion.
I have had plenty of time this morning to learn more than I ever wanted to know about the office of the Orange County Auditor-Controller thanks to jury duty. I actually reviewed financials for the office in order to get a picture of what the new person in charge will face upon taking office.
We list the candidates in alphabetical order since I did not see a schedule of interviews posted up on the Orange County Board of Supervisors website. All we know for certain is that interviews will start at :30 and unless I am sitting in a jury box I will be live blogging it.
Here we go:
George Beck- George Beck seems like a nice enough guy who has experience working for the Los Angeles Unified School District. His resume was a bit odd because I did not understand the timing of his jobs held within LAUSD. It might be because he put the years wrong on his resume but it appears he has taken a demotion in 2012 from LAUSD Deputy Branch Director (Finance) to the new designation of Team Member. This is LAUSD we are talking about, so it is possible that they did some kind of organizational realignment that changed the job titles of everybody.
Beck Resume
James Benuzzi- He has his MBA from Chapman University, the next best thing to Cal State Fullerton. I like the fact that he is a City of Orange guy and has years of experience working in the financial industry. He seems to meet the requirements necessary for the position and I have nothing to really fault or praise the guy for in his resume compared to the others.
Benuzzi Resume
Jan Grimes- She is the current acting head of the department and ironically I called her out in an earlier post for simply running as a caretaker, but it appears that she might be getting some pressure to run. While I was at the OC Registrar of Voters this week an individual came in asking questions about how to open up a committee in support of a candidate. This lady mentioned that she wanted to support Jan Grimes for OC Auditor-Controller. I don’t know what will come of this but paperwork was given to this person yesterday and I do not know what will come of this but I am less concerned about Grimes simply running and then leaving an open seat although she is still not my top choice.
Grimes Resume
Gustavo Rodriguez- I do not think he is a registered voter which surprises me that he has made it this far in the process. I also found the degree verification that he submitted with his application a bit puzzling. In terms of the resume itself he has got a pretty solid background in finance and obviously meets the qualifications (other than being a registered voter) necessary to hold this position.
Rodriguez Resume
Eric Woolery- Much like I picked my 2 favorites for Orange County Clerk-Recorder, I am going to do the same here. Eric Woolery is my personal favorite for this seat and he seems to have support from a lot of people on both sides of the aisle and of all different political factions. I do recall that he used to be a member of the Orange County Board of Education but this predates my time in OC politics. His resume appears to be very strong on the finance side and would be a solid choice for the Supervisors to make for this seat.
Woolery Resume
I don’t know what most of our readers spent this morning doing, but I had the fun task of reading the Orange County Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Second Quarter Budget Report. Interestingly it appears that the new Auditor-controller will have some issues upon taking office. The following were two issues that stood out to me about the current status of the office.
1) Based on what I read it appears that the office of OC Auditor-Controller currently faces a $535,074 deficit for the previous fiscal year based on what I read. Remember, I m not an accountant but this is a bit bothersome for an agency that should be in the black. I will post the scanned image of this when I am done with jury duty later today.
2)This deficit comes despite being understaffed by 2.54% based on a later page in the document which I will also scan later. This was the best explanation that I originally had for the deficit, being that salaries/benefits often cause the most problems when it comes to budgeting. I hope the Supervisors ask about this in the interviews on Tuesday.

George Beck- Republican
James Benuzzi- Democrat
Jan Grimes- Democrat
Nick Pham- Democrat
Gustavo Rodriguez- Not Registered
Eric Woolery- Republican
Alexander Yu- Republican
This shows quite a bit of balance with 3 Republicans, 3 Democrats, and 1 candidate not registered all advancing to the final interview with the Board of Supervisors. As soon as we get any more information on this process or any of the applicants we will post it here for our loyal readers.

I was working on a database of the part affiliation of all Orange County local elected officials. Finally, I have completed the project with all of the special districts and county seats being added. I also fixed some errors in the previous versions (here, here, and here) and have combined the database into one post.
We have added a button on the menu bar for our readers to always be able to access this database and use it for whatever research/political needs that they may have. Due to the length of th epost you are going to have to click the below link to read the rest of the post.
