Mapleton board approves 2024–25 audit, agrees to refund deposits held over one year with interest
Summary
The Village of Mapleton approved its 2024–25 audit and voted to refund customer water/garbage deposits held longer than one year, directing staff to calculate interest due under Illinois rules and to implement annual reviews of deposits.
Mayor Rhonda Hodges told trustees she met with the auditor and shared exit-conference notes before the board voted to accept the 2024–25 audit. Trustee Jennifer Bassett moved to approve the audit, Trustee Terri Baker seconded, and roll call recorded all present voting yes with Trustee Rodney Smith absent.
The board also addressed water and garbage deposits after audit findings. Hodges said Illinois requires interest to be paid on deposits held longer than one year and, following discussion with the auditor, recommended refunding those deposits, paying interest, and setting up an annual review to prevent long-term holdings. Trustee Ben Hausam moved to refund accounts older than one year; Trustee Terri Baker seconded and the motion passed among those present.
