Trustees press auditors over incomplete FY22–FY23 audits amid concern about USDA loan and grant repayment
Summary
Trustees asked Village President Hintz to contact auditors after learning FY22 and FY23 audits remain incomplete; the board discussed risk to a USDA loan and potential requirement to repay grant funds tied to a generator if audits are not finished.
Trustee Robert Dreher raised concerns about the status of the village's FY22 and FY23 audits, telling the board that incomplete audits could jeopardize the village’s USDA loan and possibly trigger repayment of grant funds received for a generator. The board agreed to have Village President Bill Hintz contact the auditors, consult the village attorney on legal options, and explore whether accounting firm WipFli would take over the audits if Odoni declined to complete them.
Director Nick Gottwalt was asked to coordinate a meeting between auditors, accountants and the village to determine steps required to finalize the audits. Trustees discussed consequences for grant compliance but took no formal vote on the audits during the meeting; they recorded direction to pursue information and follow-up.
