City audit finds adult materials, deletions on library CEO's computers
By John Cheves

A city audit of the Lexington Public Library turned up 1,522 "adult materials" on the laptop computer assigned to Kathleen Imhoff, the library's former chief executive, in violation of library policy. In addition, more than 10,000 files were deleted from the director's computer two days after she was notified not to alter or remove any documents, the audit said.

The audit also found that Imhoff had unauthorized outside employment that used library time and resources; and that there were tens of thousands of dollars in "questionable spending" on library credit cards.

The audit was made public Thursday and provided to Mayor Jim Newberry and the Urban County Council.

City auditors started to examine the library in April when the Herald-Leader detailed more than $134,000 in spending by Imhoff on travel, meals, gifts and other items over five years, with little oversight. Most of the library's $15 million annual budget comes from Fayette County property taxes.

The library board fired Imhoff in July, shortly after Newberry removed the board's chairman and vice chairman.

Imhoff's attorney did not immediately return a call Thursday seeking comment on the audit.

Among their recommendations, city auditors advised that all library credit cards be canceled and replaced, if necessary, with a limited number of procurement cards that cannot be used for non-business purposes. In its response to the audit, the library board agreed with that recommendation and pledged sweeping reforms in how the library spends its money.
