The city of Mexico Municipal Division is within the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, which consists of Audrain, Montgomery, and Warren Counties. The Honorable Keith Sutherland serves as Presiding Judge.
The audit found the method of payment is not consistently indicated on receipt slips. Some of the receipt slip copies maintained by the Court Clerk did not indicate the method of payment and it appears the copy of the receipt slip maintained by the City Clerk's office was sometimes updated to correctly reflect the composition of the deposit. To adequately account for collections, the method of payment should be noted on the receipt slips when the slips are initially prepared. This recommendation has already been implemented by the court.
Bond forms are not pre-numbered. To ensure all bonds are accounted for and deposited, pre-numbered bond forms should be used. The court is reviewing this recommendation.
