curiouser and curiouser

City Manager assured residents present that ALL required sales taxes were paid. It really starts to get curious when he was asked to break down his reported expenses and revenues to see where those lump sums were derived. He said he couldnt do that that because he didnt have access to those numbers and didnt remember them off the top of his head. When asked for a month-by-month breakdown of the expenses and revenues he said they didnt exist- because the Council had never requested that he do in that way! He DID show us a 6-month report that he said he gets on the pool with all the details, which he says he reviews VERY carefully, but couldnt make available to anybody else, for some reason. Are these the very numbers he says DONT exist? It is very curious that he stands by his annual lump sum numbers but has NO idea how those numbers we derived, or even if they are accurate! He seems to trust that they are accurate, but has NO factual basis on which to base that opinion!? It is even MORE curious when he shows us a report on the pool details but then denies it exists, as a source of information. He is a very detail-oriented person and likes to control every aspect of the City operations- but has NO information or knowledge about the breakdown of pool expenses or revenues???? after showing us that very report? VERY curious, at the VERY least.
