Ekstrom, Special Deputy County Attorney (via email) c. March 4, 2013 Danielle R. Krol 3050 Hualapai Mtn.Road, #1423 Kingman, AZ 86401 Mr. Gary Watson, Chairman Mohave County Board of Supervisors 700 West Beale Street Kingman, AZ 86401 Chairman Watson & Members of the Board: It is unfortunate that the Mohave County Board of Supervisors appears poised to terminate my employment today because of allegations about me. It is a sad commentary that the Board is listening to several employees and former disgruntled employee, Kathy McGehee, who was documented as placing a dead scorpion in my in -box at work. When confronted with the video Ms. McGehee laughed and admitted it. Since the Board never asked me about the incident or any other of the baseless allegations, I will tell you that security cameras were placed in the Technical Services and Administrative Building three years ago because a former staff person was stealing toilet paper, DVD's, etc. All you need to do is ask for the purchase orders for those cameras. It is incredibly sad that the Mohave County Board of Supervisors does not support senior management and department heads when they are attacked by such unfounded allegations, rumors and gossip. The Board listens and acts unwaiverable opinions based upon such rumors, hearsay and innuendos from staff rather than researching the facts. One of your campaign promises was transparency in government. Yet you have demonstrated a willingness to not be transparent, but rather to convene backroom star chamber like proceedings to solidify your opinions without ever really investigating the underlining basis for those opinions, or the impact of your decisions on your loyal employees or your citizenry.

Krol Library Director Mohave County Library District ! )Qd,7 � 4 401( _91"ZIkUpAccelved at 3143 8 o s , f h 1 vra, 6anA bdIvegy �� t�a�vf'e�1�C,2, 4K,M I cc: Hildy Angius, Vice - Chair, Mohave County Board of Supervisors Joy Brotherton, Mohave County Board of Supervisors Stephen Moss, Mohave County Board of Supervisors Buster Johnson, Mohave County Board of Supervisors Mike Hendrix, Acting County Administrator Yvonne Orr, Assistant to the Acting County .
