Upon returning from executive session, the Mayor said there is an opening on <br /> the Planning Commission and asked the media to notify the public of the opening <br /> and ask them to contact City Hall if they are interested in the position. <br /> The Mayor asked the Clerk to explain to the Council the request to hire a <br /> consultant to help with the financial statements primarily for the Utility funds. Ms. <br /> Johnston said she would like the council to approve contracting with Mr. Stephen <br /> Davis with Davis Business Planning to help her with the financial statements and <br /> preparing for the annual audits. She said our auditing firm, Frost, said the City <br /> has grown to the point where it would be very beneficial for the City to hire a <br /> finance director. She said that would be very costly for the city so the auditors <br /> said the next best thing would be to hire a consultant. The proposal from Mr. <br /> Stephen Davis with Davis Business Planning will cost the City approximately <br /> $15,000.00 per year. Ms. Johnston said the complexity of the GASB form of <br /> reporting for the Utilities is what she needs help with. Councilmember Insell <br /> moved to contract with Davis Business Planning and Councilmember Krug <br /> seconded. All the council voted for except for Councilmember Shetron. <br /> H) REVIEW OF THE PAID BILLS REPORT FOR JULY, 2012 <br /> The council was given a copy of the paid bills report for July, 2012 for review. <br /> MAYOR COMMENTS <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh reminded the public that school starts Monday so everyone <br /> needs to drive cautiously and be aware of children crossing the streets. <br />
