CONSULTANT NEEDED TO FINALIZE 2018 AUDIT
Independence needs to hire an outside consultant for the city audit due to a reporting “deficiency” identified by the Secretary of State’s office, according to a proposal expected to be voted on at Tuesday’s city council meeting. As a result of the finding -- which prompted a letter from the Oregon Audits Division -- the mayor and city council are required to adopt and file a “plan of action.”
The city audit had “a missed journal entry related to the refunding of the Independence Civic Center and MINET debt,” stated City Manager Tom Pessemier, in a memo to the council. The proposed corrective action, which recommends contracting with an independent consultant, comes from Mr. Pessemier and Gloria Butsch, city finance director.

UPDATE: MINET
More than half of the desired upgrades to MINET have been done, and the municipal broadband has been moving toward the finish line for the rest, MINET has reported. So far, all converted addresses have been funded through operational income -- not by borrowing. About 5,400 service addresses are expected to be accomplished in the project, and 2,972 (55%) were completed by the end of April.
