City manager defends monthly finance reports, offers format changes on request
Summary
City Manager Bill Reid said monthly finance reports have been produced consistently and explained differences between operating funds and capital/special funds. He asked council whether they wanted different data or formatting in future monthly reports.
City Manager Bill Reid addressed concerns about the availability and content of monthly finance reports during the Feb. 17 meeting. Reid said operating funds such as the general fund, street fund and water fund have regular activity and appear every month, while capital and special funds are less active and therefore appear less often in monthly reports.
Reid told the council monthly financial staff reports have been produced consistently but noted they are included in agenda packets and might be harder for residents to find; he offered to change formats or provide different information if the council prefers. The exchange was recorded in the finance department monthly report segment of the meeting.
