[0:00]
Chris would you like to tell us about
this uh yeah basically our you know this
[0:06]
is our 1920 audit report and youall have
to approve it because we have to get it
[0:10]
submitted to the comproller uh by the
end of today tomorrow to be in
[0:15]
compliance with the state our audit came
back uh pretty clean we we got it we're
[0:20]
down to three audit findings that I'd
like to try to get cleared up one of
[0:23]
them is my fault that I'll get fixed
next year uh there's two more
[0:28]
outstanding the internal controls policy
and the uh collections on the fictitious
[0:33]
invoice uh that has happened back in
2013 which we can go into more detail
[0:38]
and discussing how to clear those up
during our uh January 6 Bulma work
[0:45]
session
9th January 9th there January 9th excuse
[0:52]
me but yeah our financials are in good
shape as far as the water and sewer goes
[0:57]
since we've raised our rates we are
bringing in more income and had a net
[1:03]
income for the year which the state
likes to see so we're in good shape
[1:07]
financially uh and hopefully once we
clear up these audit findings we'll you
[1:11]
know be in even better shape so if if
anybody has any questions or any
[1:17]
particular items they want to discuss in
detail I'd be more than happy to do that
[1:20]
I I have a question just U I'm just
curious uh if if we're going to discuss
[1:26]
something on the
9th why aren we we going to discuss it
[1:31]
before we vote on this well you you have
to vote the vote today is just to
[1:36]
approve the audit report we have to
y'all have to approve it uh for our
[1:41]
audit firm to submit it to the
contollers uh before the end of the year
[1:46]
one of the findings had to do with the
uh the outstanding balance that were're
[1:54]
owed from that that when we had the
money that was misappropriated in the
[2:00]
fire department yeah and we've never
collected that and we're we need to make
[2:07]
a decision about what we're we're either
going to have to collect it or we're
[2:11]
going to have to write it off because
they're going to keep writing it up that
[2:14]
was one out of the three findings right
and so that's that's what we need to do
[2:19]
is to decide whether we that's that's
what we need to discuss that one finding
[2:26]
yeah because if we we get a plan in
place you know in anuary we could
[2:31]
potentially clear that funding up so we
won't have it uh for the 2020 2021 audit
[2:38]
report but let me also add that even if
we write that off it doesn't mean we
[2:43]
have to stop efforts to collect it I can
still make efforts to collect that that
[2:50]
debt and that was from
2013 yes
[2:57]
sir cool
[3:02]
I thought that we' already decided to
write this
[3:05]
off no I never got on brought to a
vote
[3:11]
okay I think last year we probably
discussed this kind of the same thing we
[3:16]
did we're discussing now and it just
never was brought back up and so I want
[3:22]
to uh discuss it on the work session and
if it whatever we decide to do perhaps
[3:28]
we can get it on the
um the well whatever we decide will be
[3:34]
on the agenda for the January regular
meeting to vote on how's that that'll
[3:42]
work but works for me let let me also
I'd like to add something if I could uh
[3:50]
just just say how much I appreciate
Chris and and his work because the the
[3:56]
Auditors had I believe fewer than
adjusting entries that they made in this
[4:02]
year's audit and that's uh nearly
unheard of it it really speaks to the
[4:07]
job that Chris does and his expertise in
this area uh and the fact that we're
[4:12]
down from I think I don't know maybe 10
or 11 findings down to the three uh and
[4:19]
soon to be maybe zero uh I just want to
commend Chris on his
[4:27]
work congratulations
thank you I appreciate that really did I
[4:32]
I believe we've had quite a few in years
past and being able to mark all of these
[4:39]
off is is really wonderful and I am very
happy that we can do that and thanks
[4:46]
Chris for all his work to do it and
maybe we'll have when we look at this
[4:51]
we'll have a plan to get all the others
we well we have the plan to budget more
[4:57]
for the Department uh and
address the other one that leaves one
[5:03]
other to decide what to do
about any other
[5:13]
comments okay this year um I I had asked
Chris you know in the past we usually
[5:20]
have that man come and talk to us and
tell us all this stuff and uh there was
[5:26]
no need with just three findings this
year I gu is for him to come and put us
[5:32]
to sleep yeah that's
great
[5:38]

questions we'll address those and if not
