Committee votes to pursue action over missing audit information; town of Micanopy cited
Summary
The Joint Legislative Auditing Committee approved staff recommendation to take enforcement action against one remaining local government that had not provided required audit information; committee members noted a March 31 response window and discussion with the town’s representative.
The Joint Legislative Auditing Committee voted to accept staff’s recommendation to pursue administrative action against the single remaining local government that had not supplied required audit information, the committee’s staff reported.
Debbie (committee staff) summarized the item under Tab 3, saying the Auditor General had identified five municipalities and 13 special districts that initially had missing items; most responded and provided the requested documentation. The remaining entity was the Town of Micanopy, which had one item outstanding, staff said.
Representative Henson, whose district includes Micanopy, said she had contacted town officials and expected a response before the March 31 deadline and asked that the committee consider that outreach. Chair Collins said he preferred to move ahead with the staff recommendation at this time but invited further communication between committee leadership, staff and Micanopy officials.
Senator Wright urged proceeding because the committee retains the March 31 timeline and can reassess if the town responds. Committee members then adopted the staff recommendation by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Less central details noted by staff: one special district had dissolved and could not respond, and one entity had not adopted a budget schedule so the CPA could not produce the schedule despite recording a finding in the audit report.
