JEFFERSON CITY – State Auditor Nicole Galloway released an audit finding of “good” for the Excelsior Springs Municipal Division in the 7th Judicial Circuit. The audit reviewed tickets issued in 2018 and 2019 and found the city’s prosecuting attorney failed to sign some tickets issued during October 2018. In a response to this concern, the court stated the Police Department is transitioning to a new e-ticketing system, which will help resolve the issue. The audit also recommended increased security measures to ensure computer systems within the court are safeguarded from unauthorized access. Auditors found multiple users share the same user identification and password for the primary computer, and that passwords are not, but should be, changed periodically. In response to this concern, the court stated changes have been made to address the finding and improve the court’s data security. A separate, citizen-requested audit of the city is ongoing, Galloway’s office reported.
