The Official Notes of an Official

Mary's Meeting "Notes"

Just in case you are not on Mary's email list.
"We recontracted for insurance which has reduced our overall payments by $33,804."
My notes show a reduction year over year of about $3,000 not the above, the total insurance bill for the City is around $33,000.

"A joint meeting with the audit committee and BOA will be held next Wednesday (July 22) at City Hall. I believe at 7:00. Unfortunately, I will be on vacation at that that time. I did speak to the need for an official audit (all we need to do is look at K State and Tracy, MO for reasons to do it)."
Wow, we must have big time problems? Not sure what she means by an "official" audit, maybe she is referring to Jerry's suggestion to have a "review". In any event, she heard Jerry's comments that he had polled a majority of the Audit Committee and they believe an audit is not necessary. She didn't have a problem with the issue of an apparent Sunshine violation. Maybe Mary should chat with Platte City aldermen and ask how much it cost the city for getting dunned for Sunshine violations.

"Short Meeting"
I guess it is a matter of perspective. For us in the cheap seats it seemed like it was one hours worth of business crammed into two. Ask the Boy Scouts in attendance, those civic badges don't come easy.
