Council discusses late audit filing, open-records response to attorney general
Summary
Council reported receiving an attorney general notice about late audit filings and said the city submitted an open-records response attaching its audit, which it believes was filed with the city secretary on April 27 — beyond the six-month deadline.
Council raised concerns about a recent attorney general communication to several cities that warned about potential penalties for audits filed after the six-month deadline. The presiding officer said the city’s attorney was consulted and that the city submitted the requested information through the AG’s open-records process, attaching the audit documents and stating the audit was filed with the city secretary on April 27.
“We did submit that right away, which included a copy of our audit and saying that our audit was, get, was filed with the city secretary on April 27, I believe,” the presiding officer said. Members discussed examples from other cities and the limited local supply of auditors, and the presiding officer said it was unclear whether the attorney general would take further action.
