Leitchfield commission approves minutes, bills, January financials and accepts 2024–25 audit

The Leitchfield City Commission approved routine housekeeping items at its meeting, including the March 5 meeting minutes, the bill list, the January 2026 financial statement and the fiscal 2024–25 audit report.

The votes came by voice for each item. The minutes were approved following a motion by Mr. Lucas and a second by Mr. Ferris; the bill list was brought to the floor and—according to the transcript—moved by Mr. Ferris with a second by Mr. Lucas. Commissioners similarly voted to approve the January 2026 financial statement (motion by Mr. Ferris, second by Mr. Lucas) and to accept the fiscal 2024–25 audit report (motion by Mr. Lucas, second by Mr. Ferris). Each vote was recorded in the transcript as a voice vote with commissioners answering "Aye."

The audit report had been presented previously at the March 5 meeting by Jeff Carter of Taylor and Polson; at this session the commission moved to approve the audit as submitted. No roll-call tallies for individual members were recorded in the available transcript; outcomes were recorded as affirmative voice votes.

Why this matters: approving financial statements and an independent audit are standard municipal oversight steps that close the city's fiscal year reporting and enable staff to proceed with budget planning and related administrative tasks. The commission did not attach conditions to the approvals in the transcripted discussion.

The commission also noted there were no visitors at the meeting and moved on to project updates and other administrative items.
