Manager: general ledger reconciled; Woodhill Group preparing audit
Summary
The city manager told council that work with the Woodhill Group has improved the general ledger and reconciliations, and that staff are preparing for an upcoming audit; council members asked for clearer monthly revenue-and-expenditure reporting.
The city manager reported progress on financial controls and audit readiness after recent work with an outside accounting firm, the Woodhill Group. "You can trust the numbers," the manager said, describing improvements to the general ledger and monthly reconciliations ahead of the audit.
Councilmembers asked staff to provide a clearer monthly revenue-and-expenditure report, noting the charter requires monthly income and expense reporting but that revenue detail has not always been included. One member requested the current unassigned general fund balance be emailed to council so members can track contingency levels and recent unplanned draws on fund balance.
Manager and council emphasized that improved reporting will support the upcoming audit and better budget oversight. The manager also noted impending retirements in wastewater and water treatment and that public works director Stephanie Whitney will lead succession planning.
