Village of Burlington public meetings in 2024
6 substantive meetings from 2024, with official agendas or minutes and plain-English summaries.
2024 Management Letter
The Village of Burlington received its annual audit management letter for fiscal year ending April 30, 2024. The letter identifies current-year issues including a Social Security fund $15,805 over budget and out-of-balance trial balances. Several prior-year recommendations — such as deficit fund balances, outdated accounting software, lack of a fund balance policy, and commingled cash misallocations — remain unimplemented. Management acknowledges each finding and states it will work to correct them in the coming year.
- Social Security fund exceeded budget by $15,805
- Out-of-balance trial balances requiring monthly review
- Deficit fund balances in Social Security ($2,428) and General funds (resolved from prior year $33,202 deficit)
- Unimplemented recommendations: outdated accounting software, no fund balance policy, no capital asset appraisal
- Commingled cash allocation discrepancies between funds (e.g., Liability Insurance had negative cash balance of $106,871)
