Surgoinsville board accepts FY2025 audit while noting sewer-cost discrepancy
Summary
The Surgoinsville Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved the townFY2025 audit on May 11, 2026, while noting an inaccuracy between actual and budgeted sewer maintenance and preservation costs on page 34; the Comptroller was informed of the error April 20.
The Surgoinsville Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved the townFY2025 audit at its May 11, 2026 meeting, while flagging a discrepancy in sewer maintenance accounting.
Recorder Megan Gentry and board members discussed the audit and a specific discrepancy between the Actual and Budgeted Sewer Maintenance and Preservation costs reported on page 34 of the audit document. The minutes record that Benjamin Johnson with the Comptroller of the Treasury (TBOUR) was informed of the inaccuracy on April 20, 2026.
Alderman Bishop moved to accept the audit; Alderman Sandidge seconded. A roll-call vote was taken and the minutes record the vote as unanimous in favor. The minutes do not record any additional corrective steps or amendments to the audit at the meeting.
Why it matters: accepting an audit formalizes the townfinancial review for FY2025; the board recorded the accounting discrepancy in the minutes and documented that state comptroller staff were notified, which preserves an official record for follow-up.
The minutes do not include direct quotations from the audit discussion or further detail about the nature or dollar amount of the discrepancy beyond the page reference. The board took no recorded additional action during the meeting to amend the audit, and no deadline for follow-up is recorded.
