DODGE CITY, Ala. – The Dodge City Town Council at its May 14 meeting discussed financial updates, infrastructure projects and audit findings.
The council approved the March financial report, which showed a general fund ending balance of approximately $383,587. Additional account balances included more than $1 million in certificates of deposit and roughly $42,559 in sewer revenue funds.
During discussion of the town’s recent audit, officials said the only discrepancy involved an altered check totaling about $1,946. Officials said the fraudulent check was reported to the bank and that additional security measures have since been implemented, including daily approval of checks through the bank system.
Council members also approved renewing a certificate of deposit totaling approximately $169,037 at a 3.9% interest rate through Merchants Bank.
Updates on several ongoing projects, including repairs to a damaged guardrail on County Road 216. Officials said the repair is expected to cost about $5,250 and could begin sometime in June once the contractor is available. The council also discussed obtaining a survey for the Buster property and shared that construction on the town’s machine storage building is nearly complete.
The next Dodge City Town Council meeting is scheduled for June 11 at 6 p.m. at Dodge City Town Hall.
