Audit report due at Town Council

The Town Council agenda package for Wednesday's meeting is now available for download here (PDF).

Pages 5 through 54 cover the audit report for the fiscal year ending 6/30/07.

Yes, it took a while to prepare the report. This was Frank Falvey's point during his recent citizens comment.

Read the report, go to the meeting prepared with one or two questions.

Ask them. Yes, you can do it.

Do it for me. Unfortunately, I won't be there.


If you need a question or two, let me know (via comment or email).

MP3 File

My notes as recorded during the meeting were:

Citizens comment -Frank Falvey

with Fiscal year completed, audit report should have been completed by now
audit should be ready for the election, in case there is something revealed that could have bearing on the vote

why hasn't this been completed?
Audit firm probably should not be renewed for next year

procedures for comments and feedback for dialog is flawed
Inappropriate and incorrect

on an unrelated matter, what is being done in Franklin with regards to the sale of cigarettes to minors
