Resident urges update on forensic audit, livestreaming of committee meetings and water-line planning
Summary
Resident Candy Bolt pressed the council for the status of the forensic financial audit of the CFO (staff said an audit process like BCI will take six to nine months), asked that committee and planning meetings be livestreamed and minutes posted, and raised questions about aging water infrastructure and potential grant opportunities for upgrades.
Candy Bolt, identified by the chair as a visitor, asked multiple procedural and transparency questions of the council and staff. She asked specifically about the status and cost of a forensic-style financial review of the CFO and was told the contracting firm (referred to as BCI) expects an elevated audit that could take six to nine months.
"That's the financial this federal financial audit that we are in right now," a staff member said, noting the process will be thorough. Bolt also requested the village consider live-streaming planning and committee meetings and asked staff to keep online minutes current; she noted that the council website’s minutes had not been updated past March 2026. Bolt raised separate concerns about aging water lines in older neighborhoods and urged the council to explore grant options to replace lines rather than continued short-term repairs.
Council staff acknowledged the audit timeline and said costs were not yet known. The council’s responses in the recorded segments framed the audit as ongoing and agreed to consider Bolt’s requests for increased meeting access and documentation.
