Council approves $19,000 payment to auditors to catch up audits
Summary
Council moved and approved a $19,000 payment to auditors to complete and catch up the 2023–24 audit work; Chair said paying will let the city proceed with subsequent audits and financial compliance.
Chair reported a $19,000 bill from the town's auditors for the 2023–24 audit and asked permission to pay the invoice so that audits can be caught up. The chair said paying the amount will allow the city to complete pending audit work for prior years and then proceed with the 2026–27 audits. "I have to entertain a motion to pay our auditors to the money due of $19,000 for the 2324 audit," the Chair said.
A council member seconded the motion and the council approved payment by voice vote. Council members framed the decision as necessary to maintain grant eligibility and fiscal stability, noting that backlogged audits can hinder access to certain funding programs.
