Summary

County staff reported the completed FY25 financial audit and presented two months of financials (May and June), showing month‑level deficits but an overall fund balance; commissioners flagged seasonal revenue dips and asked when the final audit report will be available.

A county staff member presented brief financials covering May and June and reported that the FY25 audit is complete. For May staff reported revenue of $1,283,913 and expenses of $1,341,006.30; June revenue was $1,014,399 with expenses of $1,000,924.07. The presenter said most audit findings have been addressed and that staff will continue to refine controls and processes.

Commissioners warned that seasonal revenue patterns and upcoming corrections could leave the county close to or below break‑even for the fiscal year; staff said the audit results would be finalized by the end of the month or by early August. The staff member also gave an update on the county’s comprehensive plan outreach: two initial public meetings had low attendance, additional forums are planned through the fall, and a larger set of public sessions is scheduled before finalization in the next winter/early spring cycle.

The presentation closed with operational reminders about AED registration with the statewide 911 system (new law effective July 1) and hydrant testing cycles. Commissioners requested that staff provide the full audit document and continue outreach for the comprehensive plan.
