Council receives 2025 audit: unmodified opinion, single procurement finding cited
Summary
Council received the 2025 annual audit, which auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The report flagged one procurement instance where a purchase exceeded the bid threshold without required public bidding; fund balance and debt figures were reviewed.
The Township Council received the 2025 annual audit at the Aug. 17 meeting; Council Member Okconor said auditors issued an unmodified opinion — the cleanest opinion available under governmental auditing standards. Okconor read highlights: the current fund balance ended 2025 at approximately $5 million (down from $5.32 million in 2024), tax collections for 2025 were 98.96%, delinquent taxes were about $440,000 (roughly 0.59% of the levy), and the auditors identified one procurement finding where goods or services were procured over the bid threshold without the required bidding process.
Okconor said the township’s debt included roughly $11.45 million in bond anticipation notes at year end and about $11.9 million in general serial bonds, and he recommended tighter procurement monitoring as the corrective action. Officials said the audit did not identify material weaknesses or reportable noncompliance beyond the single procurement finding.
