Summary

Auditor David Godwin told the council the 2021–2022 audit was delayed because six original invoices were missing following staff turnover; he said the city and EDC had already implemented recommended responses and that a potential state finding about excess highway funds was under review.

David Godwin presented the city’s 2021–2022 audit and told the council the report was late because staff changes and filing issues prevented locating six original invoices. "There was a total of six original invoices that could not be provided mostly due to the change of staff during that time and filling system," Godwin said, and he recommended the city require original receipts before reimbursing the fire department.

Godwin said both the city and the EDC had already implemented the recommendations tied to the findings. He also said state records showing an excess highway finding may be incorrect and that he was working with the auditor who provided the report to clarify whether the city may owe more.
