Bogue council unanimously accepts audited financial statements; reports $673,896 in cash
Summary
The Town of Bogue Council unanimously approved a resolution accepting audited financial statements presented at its Jan. 19 meeting and received department reports showing total cash funds of $673,896.00. The council then entered and later exited a closed session under Attorney‑Client Privilege § 143‑318.11(a)(3).
The Town of Bogue Council unanimously approved a resolution on Feb. 16 to accept audited financial statements that were presented by Ried Parker of Carr, Riggs & Ingram at the Jan. 19 meeting. Councilmember Albert Taylor moved to accept the statements and Councilmember John Dale seconded; the motion carried without opposition.
The vote completed a brief new‑business item that followed routine procedural matters. Mayor Robert O’Chat, who called the meeting to order at 6 p.m., told council members the first item of new business was “acceptance of a resolution to accept the audited financial statements as presented by Ried Parker of Carr, Riggs, and Ingram during the January 19, 2026, council meeting.”
In department reports, Mayor Robert O’Chat reported the town’s total cash funds at $673,896.00. Town Clerk Barbara Owens said sales tax receipts were on file through December, property tax through January, vehicle tax through December and utilities franchise tax through the third quarter.
Clerk Owens also reported permitting activity: a shed permit was issued in Hunting Bay. Other departments (ILA, streets, emergency management, town hall, and events) had no reports.
The council’s action to accept the audit was recorded as a resolution; no amendments or conditions were noted in the public meeting record. The council moved to a closed session later in the meeting and provided no additional fiscal actions upon returning to open session.
