Summary

Trustees were told auditors had not received a final payment of $13,600; the bill includes a $1,750 deduction for a review by Joe Kankart/Cancar. Trustees agreed to place payment on the next board agenda to confirm deliverables and documentation rather than paying immediately.

Trustee Geske raised that auditors had not received their final payment and said the outstanding amount was $13,600. She said the auditors "have not received their final payment yet." Some trustees questioned a $1,750 deduction tied to a review by Joe Kankart/Cancar and whether that additional charge had been authorized by the board.

Board members debated whether to pay immediately or postpone the payment for further review; several trustees recommended adding the auditor payment to the next board meeting agenda to confirm deliverables and documentation before remitting final funds. No payment was made at the finance meeting; trustees directed staff to include the item on the next agenda.
