Re: [ALDERMEN:908] FW: LOM111109[1].pdf

Mr. St. Columbia:

Thanks for providing me with the same information I shared with you and the entire community on October 15, 2010 via http://jamesfvalley.wordpress.com. I received this via mail on yesterday as well. I am sure that all council members received their copies through the mail as well. I provided this information to the general public as soon as it was available from legislative audit. This administration has been very transparent. This posting has been viewed by 141 people as of today. It has been downloaded from my blog site as well.

You should be mindful of at least one thing as you point out the shortcomings listed in this audit. This audit covers a period of time, generally, that had already passed when the auditors presented the last findings at our council meeting on October 20, 2009. Therefore, all of 2008 and most of 2009 had already passed prior to the presentation of the findings which are now indicated as repeat findings. Remember the time line.

I will be in Little Rock on November 12th to meet with Legislative Audit.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call upon me.

Sincerely,



James F. Valley

Here is your personal copy of Helena/W.Helena Official State Audit for your review,  If you have not received one. ( click on attachment) You are invited to attend a meeting in Little Rock on November 12th to hear the reading of this audit by the State Legislative Audit Officials.  I plan to be there with other City Council members and concerned citizens.

 

Please read audit pages 3 to 9 to understand the State Auditors concerns of Elected Officials inappropriately handling your Tax Money.

 

Lack of Financial reporting, Unauthorized Disbursements, Unaccounted for Funds, Misappropriating  of funds by Court Clerk for personal use, Unacceptable Accounting Procedures, Gross Violations of Codes and Ordinances, Failure of Officials to Reply to State Auditors, all of this and much more.
