Dwight Brock, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier County

On April 14, 2016, Dwight Brock was our guest speaker at a well attended meeting, our last for the season. Mr. Brock is Collier County's Clerk of the Circuit Court as an elected official. His duties are vast and he must be the keeper of Court and Public Records as well as the Collier County's accountant and protector of the County's funds.

Dwight Brock's gave a presentation on one particular recent case as he noticed improprieties  on a particular payment made to a cement contractor who did not follow the guidelines set forth by the County as to bidding, sub contracting and an accounting of the cost of materials and labor. This particular contractor has done over eight million dollars of work for the County in the last five years.

Brock did extensive and detailed work as to find out why protocol was not followed leading to a case of collusion between department heads and commissioners.

Mr. Brock also noted that several thousands of invoices have to be paid yearly with a staff of twenty workers and is a huge responsibility.

The meeting was concluded wishing our member's a safe and healthy summer.
