NOT SURE …. BUT I THINK IT IS TIME FOR MORE WEED EATING
I was getting ready for another assault on hillside weeds when I realized something …. which was immediately followed by a horrible thought of potential “future accidents” regarding our paperwork with Pete Kampa at the helm of the LDPCSD.
Listen to this and see if the same thought hits you….
<INSERT VIDEO CLIP>
We know how motions and approvals work – what is stated in the motion is what is approved…..
Where does the motion qualify what exactly was approved?
The FINAL REPORT PRESENTED at the meeting is to be COMPLETELY REPLACED with the report in the agenda packet right? – where is this condition stated or acknowledged in the approval motion?
Sure, we know what happened, but anyone reading the audit approval motion would not. Should not that motion have been stated something to the effect:
“Subject to corrections discussed during the annual audit approval meeting”?
See what I mean? Technically the current written board approval of that matter is devoid of one tiny but crucial condition –
that it be COMPLETELY REPLACED!
What if another “accident happens” and the wrong AUDIT REPORT is filed with governmental regulatory agencies? How would we know? How would they know? If another agency ever indeed had a reason to double check the information presented, their only confirmation would be the approved motion (with the missing condition), whereas, if the motion stated something like “subject to corrections…..” that agency would HAVE A CLUE there was more to the story than a simple audit approval by the board of directors. That agency could then request other information such as Meeting Minutes, audio recordings, etc. IF THEY STILL EXISTED – if not? Well, that agency would have cause for a more detailed investigation of he apparent mystery.
Personally I would like to see and be furnished a copy of the FINAL AUDIT the Board actually approves. Perhaps a one agenda item Special Meeting could be scheduled for just that purpose? In and out – no fuss. Copies of the report to be approved and filed available for all customers who want a copy.
Heck, it wouldn’t even be necessary for “Auditor John” to appear unless he wanted to, because after all, tires and fuel are expensive. 🙂
My best to you and yours, Lew
