Bankston said the investigation involves Walther Golf, LLC and its officers.
NewsCenter 7’s Andy Sedlak talked with Joe Parlette, Dayton Deputy City Manager, on Wednesday about the investigation into Walther Golf, LLC, which oversees the pro shop, range and cart fleet.
“They handle our cash, credit cards, checks,” Parlette said. “All money that flows through golf revenue goes through the golf pro’s hands.”
Parlette said Walther Golf was required to make daily deposits and provide supporting transaction information no later than 2 p.m. the following business day.
“There are some things missing and we don’t know where they are,” he said. “And that’s what the investigation is about.”
The city has contracted with Walther Golf since 2012. Now, the company’s staff is on leave and the city of Dayton is running the course.
The city is conducting a forensic audit that dates back to October, Parlette said. He said golfers should not notice any difference out on the course.
“We will not miss a beat,” Parlette said. “There will be no service interruption.”
With the golf course actually in the city of Kettering, Dayton has been working with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Kettering police in the investigation.
