Southeast White County Public Water Authority

KATV examination of credit card statements (Part II)

Channel 7 requested and was provided with an additional 13 months of credit card statements (with
payment due dates 1/26/2014 through 1/26/2015).
The credit card for the water association was issued to Manager Diana Woodle.
On April 7th at a special board meeting Mrs. Woodle submitted her letter of resignation.
A motion was then made to remove Mrs. Woodle from all SEWCO bank accounts, CDs and lock boxes.

On April 21st Mrs. Woodle wrote a cashiers check to the association in the amount of $25,944.06 as
repayment for unauthorized expenses.

Another SEWCO employee, Brandon Johnson, was fired and has signed a promissory note pledging to
repay $23,168.00 in unauthorized charges.

It is unclear how Woodle, Johnson and the board arrived at the repayment totals or the scope of the
review used to determine the totals (i.e. one years worth of records, two years, etc).

After reviewing the additional 13 credit card statements provided to KATV we have again categorized 20
areas of spending and added a list of other miscellaneous charges. A great deal of credit card charges
were made at Walmart, restaurants, gas stations and other retailers in Searcy. We have not totaled any
of those expenses. These categories total what were in most cases recurring charges.

Some of these are likely legitimate business expenses. Others are obviously not. We do not know
because to date no one associated with the charges has been willing to offer any clarification.
