Wayne,
Do you have the reconciliation done for the other reserve account that had about $800.00.00 and was off by the comparable amount of -$200.000.00?  You were going to send a copy of the reconciliation after our last Audit and Budget meeting.  It would be good to have a copy of the reconciliation before the City Council meeting next Tuesday.
 
Thanks,

Greg,
If I am understanding this analysis correctly, the CAFR that was issued in June for 9-30-2012 overstated the YMCA reserve by almost $200,000.00.  What that be the correct assumption?
We still do not have any documentation on:

  1. The $35.000.00 of interest added to the reserve.
  2. A few word explanation to describe the expenditures.
  3. City Council resolution on the additional $2,812.50 monthly reserve for the YMCA.

 
Thanks,

    The way the Port Orange YMCA has evolved its request for money from the tax payers of Port Orange is troublesome to me. The attempt started out in the open in front of the city council and the public, and then after problems were voiced about granting the loan, the endeavor retreated into private meetings with city council members, which some posit were not secret. But I do not think the details of such meetings were fully explained to the public. Now it seems after all this time we have some financial reports not properly ready for inspection. I do not like all of this. — hank

    Mark,
    Yes. That information is included with the backup materials for the YMCA agenda item for next week’s meeting. It includes the detail for both the required reserves and the unassigned reserves. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
