Council reviews audit findings, prepares for incoming cemetery transfer and moves to executive session on water tower
Summary
Council members reviewed audit results (three findings, one material-weakness item noted and partly corrected), discussed an expected cemetery transfer that may include about $30,000 in perpetual-care funds, and voted to enter executive session on a water-tower matter.
The Pleasantville council reviewed the village's recent audit at its Dec. 30 meeting, hearing that auditors returned three findings and one material-weakness item; the presenter said one identified issue (grant money recorded in the accounting system without village receipt) has already been fixed.
Council discussed an anticipated transfer of a privately held cemetery to the village and was told an estimated $30,000 in perpetual-care funds may accompany that transfer; staff said cemetery fee ordinances will be prepared once the transfer is finalized. The presenter emphasized that certain cemetery funds are restricted for perpetual care and cannot be used for other municipal operations.
On a separate agenda item related to the village water tower, the council voted to enter executive session. The transcript records that Cory seconded the motion to enter executive session and that the meeting recorder was turned off before the council proceeded into closed session. No details of the executive-session matter were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
Council asked staff to coordinate follow-up meetings with auditors regarding coding and documentation issues that were cited in the report and to return with clearer guidance on how the cemetery transfer will be handled in the accounting system.
