I also submit this ethics complaint against Bob Lundsten, for violations of the DeKalb

ommissioner Elaine Boyer's top aide, ounty government's Code of Ethics.

The conduct prohibited by the De alb County Code Commissioner Elaine Boyer and Bob Lundste violated include:

I have asked for the support of Restore DeKalb which includes Joel Edwards and Viola Davis in this complaint to ensure there is transparency, ethics, and accountability. We have joined as a coalition to hold elected officials accountable for violating the public's trust. I will use the following documentation and video as evidence:

1. The AJC article, "DeKalb official spent county funds on herself', by Johnny Edwards (March 22; 2014) - Mr. Edwards did an excellent article in the AJC which provided the following evidence to demonstrate Commissioner Elaine Boyer violated the code of ethics:

Meals Charged on DeKalb's card by Elaine Boyer and top aide and chief of staff, Bob Lundsten, spent more than $11,000 for restaurant meals at taxpayers' expense.

Boyer did not repay 11purchases totaling more than $2,600 until the AJe filed an open records request for the receipts. Lundsten cannot substantiate his purchases as appropriate for county business; 6. Boyer and Lundsten failed to account for the manner in which she used the p-card or provide receipts for thousands of dollars in purchases which appear to have no legitimate DeKalb County business use. 7.

1. Elaine Boyer was formally notified about her misuse of the p-card in a document from Internal Audit & Licensing dated November 15, 2011. She was notified by Cornelia Louis, the Acting Deputy Director of Finance and the document was sent to Kelvin Walton, Richard Stogner, Joel Gottlieb, and Dale Dague. Boyer's Office of BOC District 1 did not comply with DeKalb County P-Card policies and procedures. 2. The Internal Audit & Licensing document noted deficiencies that include a) Out of 50 transactions, 12 receipts were available, b) The transaction logs (logs) were not approved by card holders Manager or Director, c) During the audit period, 60% of all transactions were for food related purchases. 3. Cornelia Louis gave three recommendation in the November 15th document to include all P-Card transactions should be limited to business-related goods and services, and efforts should be made to reduce the frequent use of the P-Card at restaurants. This was also mentioned in the last P-Card audit report, dated April 2, 2010. Since Boyer and Lundsten signed the P-Card Agreement, they both deliberately and willfully violated the terms of the agreement. 4. Boyer and Lundsten conspired to carry out this pattern of improper and/or alleged illegal conduct with full knowledge of the agreement. Elaine Boyer has misled the public once again on this issue of P-Card by implying she did not know about the misuse. As a coalition, we call for an action plan to hold elected officials accountable and ensure their aides uphold the law. I, along with my other parties, demand elected officials uphold the law to include: Request a 5-10 year audit (2003-2013) of Commissioner Elaine Boyer's p-card use to evaluate if this was truly a mistake or a pattern of misuse which substantiates a violation of the law. If the evidence show a pattern of abuse, we demand Commissioner Elaine Boyer and others be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law;

Require Boyer and Lundsten repay all monies for inappropriate charges on the p-card and/ or charges reimbursed by the county. Request the p-card use of every County Commissioner and their aides to evaluate if these actions are a systematic problem that extend to more than one or two commissioners (please include the Interim CEO Lee May and his aide as they represented Commission District 5); Request the information be forwarded to the District Attorney for prosecution if the Board of Ethic determines a violation or violations of the law; Request the policy for p-card use be revised to include the Commissioners and all Board of Commissioners' staff; Remove Elaine Boyer and Bob Lundsten from their employment with DeKalb County and bar them from ever working for DeKalb County in the future.

I, Thomas Mitchell Owens, submit this ethics complaint with the support of Restore DeKalb to hold Commissioner Elaine Boyer, and her top aide, Bob Lundsten, accountable.

Sincerely,

Thomas Mitchell Owens Taxpayer and Voter in Commission District I

RE:

GeDerai InformatioD On November 15',2011 Internal Audit (IA) conducted a P-Card compliance audit of the office of DOC -District 1. Internal Audit reviewed P..card transactions for the period December 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011. Purpose aDd Scope

ThC purpose of this audit was to determine if the Office of BOC- District 1 complied with DeKalb
County P-Card policies and procedures.

We reviewed cardholder transactions, signoff reports, purchase comments and invoices to determine that: (1) The P-Card Administrator maintained the transaction log on a monthly basis. (2) The cardholder attached applicable receipts to the monthly transaction log. (3) Transactions were appropriate for the department'S business. (4) Individual transactions did not exceed the amount specified by County P-Card policies and procedures (Sl,OOO maximum per individual purchase). (5) Total monthly transactions did not exceed amount specified by the County P-Card policies and procedures ($2,000 maximum per month). (6) Cardholders were not using the P-Card for non-business related goods and services. (7) The transactions were approved. (Manager and/or Department Head) Opiniog
In our opinion, Office ofBOC-District procedures. 1 did not comply with DeKalb County P-Card policies and

Deficiencies 1) Out of 50 transactions, 12 receipts were available. 2) The Transaction Logs (Logs) were not approved by cardholders Manager or Director. 3) During the audit period, 60 % of all transactions were for food related purchases.

BOC-District 1 P-Card Review Page 2 Res;ommendations 1) All P. Cardtransactions should have supporting documentation. Adequate documentation ensures ~expend.itures incurred are in compliance with the P-Card policy. 2) To ensure management's review of compliance with the P-Card policy, completed Logs are to be reviewed an.d approved by the Cardholder's Manager or Director. Cardholders should not approve their Logs. Approvers should be higher-level employees than the Cardholder . employee; this allows the approver to challenge transactions when the business purpose is not readily apparent .. . 3) All P-Card transactions should be limited to business-related goods and services, and efforts should be made to reduce the frequent use of the P-Card at restaurants. This was also mentioned in our last P-Card audit report, dated April 2. 2010. Comment
We reviewed the corresponding general ledger accounts for each transaction. Several operating

supply related expenditures were charged to "other miscellaaeous charges." These transactions could be misclassified, The following general ledger account may be more appropriate for the transaction type.

Boyer's V1Aa card misuse has been going on for years, made possible by DeKalb'slack of oversight over elected officials' spending, The AJe examined about two years' worth of recorda and found that at least six times she or her husband bave repaid the county for expenses put on her county card.

Digging deep

It started with missing records. The Atlanta JoumaI-Constit\ltlon bas spent months scrntlnizing elected officials' discretionary spending, and reporter Johnny Edwards found that DeKalb County Commissioner Elaine Boyer wasn't maintaining transaction logs ofber county Visa card usage. County policy mandates cardhOlders keep the logs, and most DeKaib commissioners keep up with them even though they say they don't fall under the policy. Boyer instead produced spreadsheets ofher VISa usage, and Edwanla noted several high-doUar charges that she reimbursed months later. The com:miBsioner'J chief of staff exp1ainedllllUlY of the expense!. But when EdwanIs requested receipts and back-up documentation for those and other purchases, Boyer'. office responded thst it could not locate them. .. . The AJC began drilling into those charges, deciphering such entries all $1,400 charged to SUDlmitCove.com in October. That turned out to be a ski resort booking for a bip that Included her daughter and two friends. Edwards also checked federal records and found thst Boyer Md her husband bad initiated bankruptcy filings multiple times in recent years but didn't proceed with the cases. Other publie records showed that the couple'. home was heading to foreclosure. When Edwarda pressed for receipts on dozens more expenses, such as plane tickets. rental cars. meal. and phone bill a, Boyer could only produce two. Then, on March '3. Boyer sent the county lists of other porch es sbe needed to repay and provided checks (or more than $4.000, Boyer told the.AJC last week that she may need to repay more, including T-Mobile bills that have funded two cells phones for ber. About Elaine Boyer

She is the longest-serving member of the DeKalb County Board of Commission ers, first elected in 1992. Her base pay is $38,375. but with her longevity supplement for being a "certified commissioner." she made $41.764 in 2013. according to that year's aonual budget Her campalgna have stressed tax relief. and she has drawn support from soda! conservatives such as officers of Georgia Right to Ufe, ChristIan Coalition and Eagle Porum, She baa long touted her record a fiscal conservative, voting against tax increases and criticizing other county ofIlciala for spending. Says her website: "While politics in the ~ounty may change, Boyer bas remained true to her ideals and continued to crusade for the basic tenets of conservatism: Iimitiog the tax burden, reducing the sl2e of government, fighting for constituents. and keeping families sate." She had a $742.16 garnishment for 2004 federal incomes taxes. This was satisfied in 2009. She had said the debt stemmed from a busineas disagreement between her husband and a former business partner. Also in 2004. the state ethics commission sought informatlen from Bayer in an investigation into her fund-raising activities. Boyer later agreed to pay $800 for not properly documenting contributions and expenditures. An allegation that sbe made loan repayments to herself for above the amount due was dismissed. as was an allegation thst she

Tuesday, September 8,2009 Fonner Perimeter College Student Life Director Pleads Guilty In P-Card Case
:.

Patrice Wright, aformer Student Life Director at the Clarkston campus of Perimeter College,pled guilty this morning in DeKalb Superior Court over her misuse of her state-issued purchasing card (Pi-card). Wright entered a guilty plea to ten counts of theft by taking, and she was sentenced by Judge Robert Castellani to ten years intensive probation and 160 hours of community service. In addition, restitution in the amount of $3,463 was ordered to be repaid to the state. Part o[Wright's duties at Perimeter required her to make certain work-related purchases, including the purchase of gift cards for use by the school. On January 22,2007, Wright used her P-card to purchase four mall gift certificates with aface value of $500 each which she used to make payments on her car loan. On February 7,2007, Wright purchased several gift cards with aface value of $340, one of which she appropriatedfor her oW,nuse to reserve a hotel room in Hawaii. In addition, the state investigation discovered that Wright had used her Pi-card to make personal purchases while on a trip to Disney in September 2006 and while on a trip to Las Vegas in over the New Years holiday in 2006-2007. The total amount of Wright's thefts totaled $3,463.25. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Laura Pfister, and the case was investigatedjointly by the State Audit Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Meals charged on DeKalb'scard

DeKalb County Commissioner evidenced by purchases with their county Visa cards.

by Elaine Boyer and top aide

Elaine Boyer and her top aide apparently have their favorite restaurants,

Spending records show that in 2012 and 2013, Boyer and her chief of staff, Bob Lundsten, spent more than $11,000 for restaurant meals at taxpayers' expense. Together, they averaged about two restaurant she said. "We purchases a week in 2012 and nearly three a week in 2013. Boyer told the AJC that all the expenses were for meetings with constituents. "We're either having coffee or we're talking to constituents," spend a lot of time out in the field." Based on the records, the commissioner appears to favor MatlhewsCafeteria in Tucker. She used the

county Visa card there about three dozen times in the tvvo years. With Lundsten, it's Big Tex in Decatur, a short walk away from the county building, where he made 60 Visa card purchses. On this spreadsheet,Boyer's Read the AJe'sfull restaurant investigation expenses are in red. Lundsten's spent are in
