Leslie Clement, 35, the former administrator of the Oregon State Landscape Architect Board (OSLAB) was sentenced to 19 months at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville after pleading guilty to misappropriating nearly $140,000 in public funds. The judge ordered Clement to repay $135,365 to the state.
Clement was promoted to the administrator position in February 1999 and resigned in November 2004.
An Oregon state audit, prompted by the Secretary of State?EUR??,,????'???s office and the state police, revealed the malfeasance, including Clement writing checks to herself and entering them as vendor payments, padding her salary by almost $22,000 and use of a board credit card to buy personal items.
OSLAB is taking recommendations made by the auditors to strengthen its financial controls. Susanna Knight is now the OSLAB administrator. She also administers the Oregon State Board of Geologist Examiners.
