outside audit needed

The outrageous bathroom numbers stand alone, and have NOT been disputed so far. The same goes for the pool numbers, the CC numbers, the bathroom elevation numbers, the omission of water, sewer and electric hookups to the bathrooms, the ramps to the bathrooms, the lack of pool contracts to confirm and substantiate pool revenues, the wildly erroneous Finance Dept numbers on the website, etc etc.- all of these fiascos have a documented factual basis that invites scrutiny and possible rebuttal with different claims that are backed with different, yet hopefully accurate, numbers. Until they are challenged, they will have to be assumed to be accurate. ALL have happened on this City Managers watch. The facts and figures of these multiple ongoing City fiascos have not been denied. The numbers speak for themselves. An independent outside audit would clear up this situation and any questions decisively- why do we NOT have one? What are they hiding? The taxpaying residents have a right to know how the City is managing their tax monies. If nothing is being hidden, the audit will show that is the case. If there ARE monies unaccounted for, or expenditures not in line with generally accepted accounting principles the residents should know THAT too! Mr. Dotson is an accountant, let him review the books! Or, if he doesn't have the time, let him suggest somebody to do this task.
