Resident asks board to facilitate audit of American Legion post funds
Summary
Michael Diliberto used the meeting’s public-comment period to say an individual has been handling funds at the local American Legion post without authorization since February 2020 and requested the board help facilitate an external audit; no board action was taken during the meeting.
During public comment, resident Michael Diliberto said he is overseeing review of the American Legion post’s records and that the state commander of the American Legion of Wisconsin had recommended an external audit dating back to 2020. "There's an individual that's handling the funds that is unauthorized," Diliberto said, asking the board to "facilitate" an external audit of records going back to February 2020.
Diliberto said he had documentation and that the state commander suggested an audit; he asked the board to use its licensing leverage to initiate an external review. The board did not take action during the meeting and neither staff nor trustees announced follow-up steps during the public-comment period.
No specific evidence, names of the post officer in question or a formal complaint filing were presented to the board during the public comment. The record shows Diliberto made the statement on the public comment agenda and the board moved on to its scheduled presentation without further discussion of the item.
