Council Minutes of 4/4/95 ~_ 2) The money received from the sale of the property to Mr. Coury will be placed into the permanent improvement fund. 3) Council did not receive the February financial printouts because the structure of the appropriations made significant changes in the way some line items are allocated between departments and the dollar amounts that early in the process would not have produced a meaningful document. However, the March statements will reflect the current appropriation and all expenditures to date. In response to a question by Mr. Nashar, Mr. Burns replied that the March printouts would be available toward the end of Heart week. Mr. Limpert asked what the status of the audit was. Mr. Burns answered that we are in a very good position, and Gary Fink & Associates should make a final determination on 1989 and 1990 by Friday. On Tuesday, he will meet with representatives of the State Auditor's office to establish a timeframe for completion of their work.
