Auditor urges monthly oversight, flags park‑fund and reporting gaps for Kincaid
Summary
Kevin Buckley recommended a trustee review monthly statements, said park‑fund activity and ordinance‑violation receipts were not fully tracked, and noted shrinkage 'up to 38%' and an outstanding 1099 for 'Mr. Ruyle.'
In his presentation at the Village of Kincaid special meeting, Auditor Kevin Buckley emphasized administrative and control weaknesses and recommended concrete steps for trustees.
Buckley recommended a monthly oversight practice: "I would still say one of the best control features you can have and this is no reflection on Beverly at all but someone on the board needs to go over these monthly statements to keep track." He warned that without receipts and regular review, transactions—especially those handled outside formal village accounts—cannot be traced reliably.
The auditor also noted several specific administrative issues: park fund activity is "not running to their full potential," ordinance‑violation receipts were not fully processed, shrinkage was "up to 38 percent," and 1099 reporting for "Mr. Ruyle needs to be completed." Buckley urged trustees to ensure all required reporting and receipts are in place to avoid future problems.
The minutes record no further discussion or questions from trustees after these recommendations. The board adjourned at 6:16 p.m.
