Council approves August expenditures of $63,145.04 after accounting cleanup
Summary
Council approved $63,145.04 in expenditures for August and heard that the city accountant had corrected prior journal entries and reconciled a $326.84 discrepancy in the water fund reconciliation.
The council moved and approved total expenditures for August in the amount of $63,145.04 on Aug. 5. The mayor moved the approval and roll call recorded unanimous aye votes from members present.
Earlier in the meeting staff told council they met with the city accountant on Aug. 1 to correct journal entries and enter a required auditor journal entry; those corrections caused a $326.84 difference in the water fund beginning balance that was re‑reconciled. Staff said the accounting files are now cleaned up and ready for ongoing reconciliation.
Why it matters: approving the monthly expenditures continues normal financial operations; the accounting corrections resolved clerical issues that briefly produced a small reconciliation difference. The council asked staff to confirm bank statement availability and timing for routine reconciliations going forward.
