The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm.  All members and the clerk were in attendance. Chris Clasen from the audit firm of Justin Clasen & Company, LTD was also present.

Mr. Clasen presented a summary document of the audit findings. He pronounced the audit found no significant issues. The financial report had been submitted to the state auditor’s office. The audit document was reviewed along with the Management & Representation letters that were prepared by the auditors.

A discussion of internal controls took place. Clasen recommended that documentation of control policies and procedures be prepared to assist with improving controls. The Township had improved controls in various ways and was consistent with other townships’ policies. In addition, he suggested that employee & benefits policies be reviewed & updated as needed on a yearly basis.

The Clerk presented a draft Board of Audit Report for review. Motion by Johnson, second by Bilek to accept the report, that it be included with audit documents and made available to the public at the Annual Meeting. Carried unanimous.

There being no further business to conduct, the meeting adjourned at 2:30 pm.
