Council accepts FY2024 audit and moves into executive session over ambulance billing
Summary
City staff presented the FY2024 audit noting two findings including a material violation tied to delayed supplemental budgeting; the council recommended acceptance of the audit and voted to enter executive session to discuss ambulance-aging reports and legal counsel advice on EMS billing.
City staff told the Lennox City Council that auditors completed the FY2024 financial‑statement audit, issued two findings and recommended the council accept the audit.
Staff summarized the audit as covering January–December 2024 and said two findings were issued: an ongoing internal‑control comment and a material violation arising from spending that exceeded the council’s authorized amount because a supplemental budget was not passed in FY2024 after a sudden finance‑officer departure. Staff said many oral comments were already being incorporated into current operations and recommended the council accept the audit.
During questions, a council member asked about ambulance‑aging reports referenced in the audit’s oral comments and whether the reports had been analyzed. One council member suggested discussing those billing concerns and related legal issues in executive session. The council moved to enter executive session for legal counsel and approved the motion on a voice vote.
The transcript records the audit summary and the executive‑session motion; it does not include the ambulance‑billing details discussed in executive session or a public roll‑call vote on audit acceptance.
