Mayor Ragsdale's office has released a statement saying that the Knox County Commission’s Internal Auditor "accepted supporting documentation provided by the Mayor’s Office regarding the procurement card audit."

According to the statement, "Mayor Ragsdale and staff submitted documentation in support of their transactions, all of which was accepted by the Auditor, except for gas purchases for the Mayor’s county vehicle." There was also one undocumented purchase of office supplies. The Mayor's office says some of these transactions are four or five years old so no receipts are available.

The Mayor will reimburse the county $1,217.59 by the close of business today to reconcile these transactions.
