Seymour council accepts 2025 audit, auditor highlights $777,000 net position increase
Summary
The Seymour City Council approved the city's 2025 audit and acknowledged improved revenues, with staff saying the city is current on required financial reports and eligible for grants.
The Seymour City Council voted to accept the city's 2025 audit at its April 16 meeting, a report staff and auditors said shows the city's finances improved over the past year.
The audit, referenced by council members and the auditor in attendance, shows an increase in the city's net position of about $777,000 and higher sales and hotel-occupancy tax receipts. "City revenues, property taxes account for 6%...charges for our electric, water, and sewers 78%," a council member summarized during the discussion.
Why it matters: Accepting the audit keeps the city in compliance with state law and preserves eligibility for state grants and certain tax-rate actions, staff said. Council members noted the timely completion of the audit allowed the city to meet statutory deadlines.
Council action and next steps: A council member moved to approve the audit for the period ending Sept. 30, 2025; another seconded the motion and it passed by voice vote. Staff thanked City Secretary Lauren Bush and City Administrator Dr. Brazier for completing the audit work. No additional follow-up was scheduled beyond routine financial oversight.
The council proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
