Montgomery County officials improperly approved more than $1.2 million in construction, snow removal and maintenance work that lacked time sheets, documentation of expenses or any justification for the payments, according to a new report released by the suburb’s top watchdog. Tito Contractors Inc., which was paid more than $14.2 million between fiscal 2005 and 2009, erroneously filed the 172 invoices reviewed by Inspector General Thomas Dagley from fiscal 2007 and 2008.
“We were unable to determine whether the labor and undetermined costs [charged by Tito] were valid,” Dagley said in a memo to David Dise, director of the Department of General Services, which approved the invoices.
