1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Chris would you like to tell us about
this uh yeah basically our you know this

2
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:13,880
is our 1920 audit report and youall have
to approve it because we have to get it

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:17,760
submitted to the comproller uh by the
end of today tomorrow to be in

4
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:22,439
compliance with the state our audit came
back uh pretty clean we we got it we're

5
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,880
down to three audit findings that I'd
like to try to get cleared up one of

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,199
them is my fault that I'll get fixed
next year uh there's two more

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:36,280
outstanding the internal controls policy
and the uh collections on the fictitious

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:41,280
invoice uh that has happened back in
2013 which we can go into more detail

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:47,399
and discussing how to clear those up
during our uh January 6 Bulma work

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:55,399
session
9th January 9th there January 9th excuse

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,480
me but yeah our financials are in good
shape as far as the water and sewer goes

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:05,199
since we've raised our rates we are
bringing in more income and had a net

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,520
income for the year which the state
likes to see so we're in good shape

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:15,040
financially uh and hopefully once we
clear up these audit findings we'll you

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,479
know be in even better shape so if if
anybody has any questions or any

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,320
particular items they want to discuss in
detail I'd be more than happy to do that

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:28,400
I I have a question just U I'm just
curious uh if if we're going to discuss

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:34,960
something on the
9th why aren we we going to discuss it

19
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:38,600
before we vote on this well you you have
to vote the vote today is just to

20
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,799
approve the audit report we have to
y'all have to approve it uh for our

21
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:51,520
audit firm to submit it to the
contollers uh before the end of the year

22
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:57,560
one of the findings had to do with the
uh the outstanding balance that were're

23
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:04,360
owed from that that when we had the
money that was misappropriated in the

24
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:09,440
fire department yeah and we've never
collected that and we're we need to make

25
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:13,080
a decision about what we're we're either
going to have to collect it or we're

26
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,959
going to have to write it off because
they're going to keep writing it up that

27
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:23,239
was one out of the three findings right
and so that's that's what we need to do

28
00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:28,920
is to decide whether we that's that's
what we need to discuss that one finding

29
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,800
yeah because if we we get a plan in
place you know in anuary we could

30
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:41,239
potentially clear that funding up so we
won't have it uh for the 2020 2021 audit

31
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:45,560
report but let me also add that even if
we write that off it doesn't mean we

32
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,680
have to stop efforts to collect it I can
still make efforts to collect that that

33
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,480
debt and that was from
2013 yes

34
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,800
sir cool

35
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,519
I thought that we' already decided to
write this

36
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:14,480
off no I never got on brought to a
vote

37
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,560
okay I think last year we probably
discussed this kind of the same thing we

38
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:25,599
did we're discussing now and it just
never was brought back up and so I want

39
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,319
to uh discuss it on the work session and
if it whatever we decide to do perhaps

40
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:38,480
we can get it on the
um the well whatever we decide will be

41
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:46,799
on the agenda for the January regular
meeting to vote on how's that that'll

42
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:52,599
work but works for me let let me also
I'd like to add something if I could uh

43
00:03:50,120 --> 00:04:00,079
just just say how much I appreciate
Chris and and his work because the the

44
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Auditors had I believe fewer than
adjusting entries that they made in this

45
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:10,040
year's audit and that's uh nearly
unheard of it it really speaks to the

46
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:15,480
job that Chris does and his expertise in
this area uh and the fact that we're

47
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:24,240
down from I think I don't know maybe 10
or 11 findings down to the three uh and

48
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:27,440
soon to be maybe zero uh I just want to
commend Chris on his

49
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,960
work congratulations
thank you I appreciate that really did I

50
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:43,720
I believe we've had quite a few in years
past and being able to mark all of these

51
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:49,479
off is is really wonderful and I am very
happy that we can do that and thanks

52
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:54,080
Chris for all his work to do it and
maybe we'll have when we look at this

53
00:04:51,520 --> 00:05:00,880
we'll have a plan to get all the others
we well we have the plan to budget more

54
00:04:57,039 --> 00:05:06,360
for the Department uh and
address the other one that leaves one

55
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,479
other to decide what to do
about any other

56
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:22,280
comments okay this year um I I had asked
Chris you know in the past we usually

57
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:29,080
have that man come and talk to us and
tell us all this stuff and uh there was

58
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:36,240
no need with just three findings this
year I gu is for him to come and put us

59
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:42,240
to sleep yeah that's
great

60
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:49,199

questions we'll address those and if not
