Litchfield resident urges clarity in Region 20 audit, asks about $400,000 payment
Summary
At the June 16 meeting, resident Matt Tobin told the Board of Selectmen he was disappointed the Region 20 audit did not specify amounts paid on behalf of Litchfield Public Schools and Region 6 and asked what a $400,000 check issued to Litchfield on July 1, 2024 was used for; the board noted the comment for follow-up.
During public comment at the June 16 Litchfield Board of Selectmen meeting, resident Matt Tobin raised concerns about the Region 20 audit and a large payment to the town.
Tobin said he reviewed the Region 20 audit and was "disappointed that the auditor did not specify the amount of money Region 20 paid in invoices on behalf of Litchfield Public Schools and Region 6," and that the audit did not indicate whether invoices provided for review were over budget, citing the transportation line as an example. He also asked the board what the $400,000 check issued to Litchfield on July 1, 2024 was used for. The minutes record the comment but do not show a direct response or resolution; board members noted the point for potential follow-up.
The comment came amid other routine business at the meeting, including approval of prior minutes, acceptance of a Board of Finance resignation and adoption of a credit card policy. The board did not record further detail in the minutes about Tobin’s request for an accounting of the $400,000 payment.
