RDC member outlines annual reporting deadlines and suggests centralizing filings
Summary
The RDC president reviewed statutory reporting dates the commission must meet and recommended assigning one office or an auditor to consistently prepare the required reports to the DLGF and other bodies.
During the meeting, the RDC president reviewed the commission's statutory reporting calendar and the practical steps for preparing annual filings.
He listed the treasurer/auditor's April 1 report, the April 15 RDC filing, June 15 and August 1 audit-related filings, and a December annual spending-plan presentation to the commissioners and county council. "The statute does not provide any details as to what is required to be included in this report, but as a practical matter, it seems reasonable and appropriate for such a report to include the financial information that is to be required on the April 15 report," he said.
The president said he had asked county staff (Teresa) to check whether the auditor or commissioners' office could automatically generate or supply those reports and recommended naming someone—either within the commissioners' office or planning—to be responsible for preparing or coordinating the filings so future RDC boards would have consistent documentation.
Members noted they currently have no TIF activity or a formal budget and that some required filings may not have been submitted in recent years; they agreed to follow up with the auditor to ensure compliance before year-end.
