Troy told the council that the city’s bookkeeping is caught up but that the auditing firm the city engaged is booked through May; prior-year adjustments prevent starting the current audit until older years are complete, and that timeline makes meeting state audit deadlines unlikely.
"We haven't conducted the audit. So we're actually not in compliance with state law," Troy said, adding that the city is prepared to hand its books to a firm that can take the work immediately. Council members asked about statutory deadlines and Troy described the timing: the closing of the 2025 books gives the city 180 days to have those audits completed, which the council now expects may not be met because of the backlog.
