Pennock council accepts 2023 audit; general fund shows positive reserves
Summary
At its Aug. 6 meeting the Pennock City Council accepted the 2023 audit presented by Westberg Eischens, PLLP, which found no major issues and noted solid general fund reserves despite declines in some cash balances after capital work.
The Pennock City Council on Aug. 6 accepted the city’s 2023 audit after a presentation from David Euerle of Westberg Eischens, PLLP. Euerle told the council there were “no major issues” in the audit and outlined key fund changes.
Euerle said the general fund’s revenue exceeded expenditures in 2023, creating a positive reserve. He reported the water fund’s cash balance fell because the city completed significant projects during the year, and said the sewer fund generally operates at a loss due to depreciation expense; he noted sewer rates were increased in 2024 to help address that shortfall. Council member Bruce Bastin then moved to accept the audit report; Council member Jeff Arends seconded, and the motion passed.
The audit acceptance is a routine, formal acknowledgement of the document; no corrective actions or major deficiencies were reported during the presentation. The council took no additional action beyond the motion to accept the audit.
The council also heard a separate sheriff’s report during the meeting (52.75 deputy hours reported for July) and proceeded with other agenda business before adjourning at 7:27 p.m.
