Menahga City Council will discuss further at an May work session. 8:30 pm, Apr. 16, 2021 ×
Menahga Mayor Liz Olson called for a special budget meeting after seeing a negative checking balance and deficit spending in the 2021 budget.
She voiced her concerns at the Monday, April 12 city council meeting.
“How can these checkbook balances be in a deficit?” Olson asked, referring to the check reconciliation report for March 2021. Eight funds showed a negative balance, ranging from -$373 to -$347,775.
City Administrator Curt Kreklau said it was a coding issue in the accounting software. The 2021A fire truck fund, for example, shows a -$108,910 balance. It’s a bond payment that the city made, he said.
