The city audit produced no issues, according to the audit presentation at Monday’s city council meeting.
“He said we’ve got a clean audit,” said Mayor David Grissom, who praised the department heads for staying in budget. The audit addressed city finances for fiscal year 2013-2014. “We’ve just been trying to work hard to stay within our budget.”
The council met in executive session for an hour to discuss the “good name, character and job performance” of a city employee. The employee, who was not named, was suspended five working days with no pay when the council returned to regular session.
The council also:
– approved resolutions to be presented to the Russellville High School Championship teams.
– declared the damaged fence at Hal Kirby Park surplus and authorized the mayor to sell.
– approved a nuisance abatement for a property at 125 Honey Lane.
– accepted resignations from the Russellville Police Department from Jeremy Burfield and John Fike.
– declared vacancies for a police patrolman and dispatcher and voted to advertise for a patrolman.
– approved a resolution with ALDOT for an ATRP project on Walnut Gate Road from Highway 43 to Highway 24.
