The City received the Auditor of State Award from Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost. The Auditor of State Award is given to entities that file timely financial reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as well as receive a “clean” audit report for the year 2015. This means that all City financial records were free of errors and miscalculations, have been verified by the State Auditor, and all related rules and regulations were followed. The City strives to be good stewards of the budget and City finances, and that starts with good record keeping and adhering to the standards that need to be followed.
