It sounds like the Timberjay wants Walker, Giroux & Hahne to do all of the bookkeeping, record keeping and check writing for the City. I'm sure the firm would do all of the City's financial work, for a price. Maybe maybe that's the solution for keeping track of money here.

The accounting firm sent one of their accountants to the July 12 City Council meeting to present the 2020 Audit and answer any questions. I didn't hear any questions about the 2020 Audit statement which says on page 39 that the Ambulance fund is "Due From Other Funds $737,648".

At the August 23 meeting, the Council voted to pay $25,720 for the 2020 Audit. There were no questions raised about the Audit. How many people, in their regular lives, would pay a bill like that if they thought there was a problem with the product?

It's time for the City to begin taking financial responsibility for its expensive projects. Shooting the messenger is ridiculous. The tail needs to quit trying to wag the dog. It's gone on way too long.
