Paving line reflects grant accounting changes; staff reconstructing past entries with auditor

Sep 22, 2026

The MVH paving budget line appeared reduced on the draft but staff explained the full planned paving is nearer $400,000 with portions moved to restricted grant funds (CCMG); staff are reconstructing entries with Baker Tilly so revenues and expenditures match fund-to-fund.

The full story

Council examined the Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) paving and surfacing line, which in the packet appeared as a $200,000 restricted budget but was clarified to represent a $400,000 full program once restricted grant accounting is included. Staff explained that past practice sometimes left grant revenues and expenditures in operating funds; they are now creating separate funds for each grant and working with Baker Tilly and auditors to reconcile the accounting.
