Under The Radar

Lost in the "spill" last week was a special BOA meeting held last week Monday to discuss/review the results of the 2007 audit conducted by the Miller firm. One citizen attended (for about 10 minutes) while the BOA was presented findings by City Treasurer Marianne Ennett. This amounts to the City checking itself, probably not a best practice when it comes to maintaining or improving financial controls. Interestingly, no members from the Bos appointed Audit Committee were present either. The Audit Committee has found little work to do despite the fact an audit for 2008 has never been conducted and of course 2009 is virtually finished...without any outside financial review. All under the guise of saving money for something Mayor Bos believes is unnecessary.

For all the Maryholics out there, unless I was omitted from her email, apparently she decided not to send a "Dear Resident" email summary of the Monday meeting. Pattern? She does have a tendency to be choosy on what she sends and when she sends it. Another example of self reporting gone bad.
