Euless accepts FY2024 audit; council approves consent agenda including bank depository renewal and school officer camera purchase
Summary
The City Council acknowledged the independent audit with an unmodified opinion, then approved the consent agenda items including renewal of depository services with Frost Bank and purchase of body-worn cameras and tasers for school officers (to be reimbursed by HEB ISD).
The Euless City Council acknowledged receipt of the City of Euless annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024, after an external audit that delivered an unmodified opinion and reported no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
Sarah Dempsey, engagement partner with Weaver and Tidwell LLP, told the council the audit team issued an unmodified opinion on the city’s financial statements and performed a single audit on ARPA funds because the ARPA amount exceeded the major-program threshold. “We issued an unmodified opinion on those financial statements,” Dempsey said, adding the firm found no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and that there were no material audit adjustments.
Following the audit presentation, the council moved through the consent agenda. The consent items included: acknowledgement of the FY2024 annual comprehensive financial report as provided by Weaver and Tidwell LLP; approval of a one-year renewal of RFP No. 004-22 for depository services with Frost National Bank with fees unchanged; authorization to purchase 12 body-worn cameras and taser systems for the elementary school resource officer program from Exxon Enterprises Inc. through the BuyBoard cooperative (the city expects reimbursement from HEB ISD under an interlocal agreement); and approval of the Feb. 11, 2025, council meeting minutes.
Council member Stinniford moved approval of the consent agenda and Council member Tompkins seconded. The mayor called for votes and the consent items were approved; the transcript records the motion and second but does not list a roll-call tally.
City finance staff earlier highlighted financial-statement totals presented in the audit: a general fund ending fund balance of approximately $23.3 million (a decrease of about $1.1 million from the prior year), combined other governmental fund balances of about $93.3 million (an increase of about $7.8 million), and increases in enterprise fund net positions largely driven by capital contributions.
The council did not request additional action on the audit at the meeting; staff thanked the auditors for completing the work early in the annual cycle.
