In early session of Warsaw’s Board of Aldermen, Monday eve, KPM

CPA Auditor Johnathan Cummings gave a “clean,” or unmodified opinion, of his audit of the City’s fiscal year 2018 operations. He noted that revenues were down that year, but expenses were down “quite a bit more; the City is changing for the good.” However, he commented there is a “shortage of people involved in financial transactions,” but added this separation of financial duties is common for small cities with limited finances. “You can’t hire a number of people to work three hour weeks,” he concluded.

 In early session of the City Board, July 18 evening, Cole Camp resident Tiffany Woodington complained about a neighbor, who reportedly failed to keep the area around his home well mowed, and had, because of an inoperable Jacuzzi with stagnant water, allowed mosquitos to infest her yard area. She showed a recent cell phone photo of what she said was the neighbor’s homestead, convincing Aldermen of the need for action. The group agreed to send that neighbor a warning letter, followed by stiffer action, if necessary.
