Item: Adding accountability: All of county clerk office's 83 employees now punching clock to start, end shift/Alecia Warren, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: The Kootenai County Clerk's Office has made more strides in tweaking operations to boost accountability and protect every dollar handled, said Clerk Cliff Hayes. Some changes are simpler than others. Like time cards. Only some employees in the office had been filling them out, Hayes said. "There was nothing recording the time the person started work or ended, or when they went to lunch," he said.

Question: Are the changes being made by Kootenai County Clerk Cliff Hayes significant? Or are they the routine changes one administration makes when it replaces another?
