From Jay Baker: We will let the following passages from the article speak to the ignorance and incompetence of Alan Webber and John Blair.
State Auditor states that the City is not compliant:
“There’s two sides to every coin — this is progress but they’re still not compliant, and there is a consequential impact on their funding,” State Auditor Joseph Maestas said of the city’s completed audit.
“Without reconciliations occurring throughout the year, stakeholders are not able to obtain an accurate understanding of the financial position of the City prior to the issuance of the audited year‐end financial statements,” the 2021 audit said.
Some of the other findings included poor management of outside consultants, problems with the reporting of Community Development and Block Grants and a lack of proper controls over the city’s cash balance.
The ignorant and incompetent Mayor Alan Webber and City Manager John Blair try to gaslight residents by claiming the City is compliant:
In statements, Mayor Alan Webber and City Manager John Blair touted the clean opinion finding and the fact that 10 of the issues identified in the 2020 audit had been corrected in the 2021 document.
Blair said Monday’s report shows the city “has resolved its problems related to timely audits and we’re getting back on track.”
