Many local agencies have been subjected to fraudulent billing
Roseville, California – On January 25, 2023, Honorable Judge AugieNortheast Jenny Kenneth Glotzbach, 55, has been sentenced to 360 days in prison and two years of official probation, which will include submission to search and forfeiture of all technology.
The ruling comes after Glotzbach pleaded guilty to one count of public servant misappropriation and five counts of public servant misdemeanor — one count for each unauthorized spending transaction.
Glotzbach, while assistant director of sewage for the Roseville Environmental FacilitiesThe City of Roseville, Placer County and the South Placer Municipal Utility District billed a total of $307,737.27 in fraudulent bills, credit card fees and public funding from 2018 to 2021.
Specifically, the investigation showed that a city-issued credit card was used to pass on transportation expenses, airport parking, and unaccredited law school tuition for an independent counsel, among other fees.
The payment was made by an undisclosed consulting firm
Reports showed that none of these expenditures had been communicated to or approved by his superiors. Since the incident, Glotzbach has been terminated from the city of Roseville and has paid various fines and fees through the police Placer County Revenue Services Department. The money was voluntarily reimbursed to the city from an undisclosed consulting firm.
“We take the use of our taxpayer money very seriously,” said the prosecuting attorney. Not only did Glotzbach break the public’s trust, his actions are in direct contradiction to what we stand for as public servants. It is essential that the bad actors know that this behavior is not acceptable in Placer County.”
The city of Roseville was the victim in this case and was integral to getting justice for the city, its taxpayers, and Roseville’s taxpayers.
