Ogdensburg council certifies 2020 audit and approves corrective action plan
Summary
On Oct. 25 the Ogdensburg Borough Council reviewed the 2020 municipal audit, adopted Resolution 75-2021 certifying its review under N.J.A.C. 5:30-6.5, and approved a CFO-prepared corrective action plan under Resolution 76-2021.
The Ogdensburg Borough Council voted Oct. 25 to certify its review of the borough's 2020 audit and to accept a corrective action plan prepared by the chief financial officer.
Mike Marceau, the borough CFO, briefly explained the 2020 audit before Councilman DeMeo moved to adopt Resolution 75-2021 certifying that the governing body had reviewed the audit comments and recommendations as required by N.J.A.C. 5:30-6.5. Councilman Nasisi seconded the motion, and the council adopted it by roll-call vote.
The council then accepted and approved the corrective action plan for the 2020 audit in Resolution 76-2021 following a motion from DeMeo and a second from Nasisi. After adoption of Resolution 75-2021, the governing body signed the required group affidavit certifying the review.
The resolutions reference state law requiring municipal audits (N.J.S.A. 40A:5-4) and the Local Finance Board regulation (N.J.A.C. 5:30-6.5); the minutes also note the potential penalties for noncompliance under R.S. 52:27BB-52. The council recorded the motions and roll-call votes in the public minutes; both resolutions passed with the council voting in the affirmative on the record.
The council did not list further specifics of the audit findings in the minutes beyond noting that the CFO explained the audit and that a corrective action plan was prepared and accepted. The corrective action plan was filed in the Borough Clerk's office as part of the official record.
