Treasurer reports $14,000 LOCIP posting error; flags $119,000 Union Station entry

Treasurer Melanie Neeley reviewed her memo and explained how a state request to detail LOCIP spending revealed a $14,000 discrepancy: LOCIP funds had been incorrectly posted to the Board of Education account, and the auditor believes it can be corrected. As the minutes record, "The LOCIP funds were discovered as she was requested by the State to explain how the funds were spent and realized there was a $14000 discrepancy."

She also reported discovery of a Union Station account that was opened, written off and closed, with a recorded balance of $119,000; she said she was not sure the handling was appropriate and asked the accountant to look into it. Chairman Humes noted that, "as far as the town books go, the issue is done," but directed review by the accountant.
