What is Happening With The State Audit of Centerville?

Here is what we know today. (Re post of April 1st)

The audit was completed between November and January.
Centerville will be charged approximately $60 per hour for the investigation. We do not know how many hours will be billed.

The audit is currently under review.
Centerville will not be charged for the review process.

The review completion is done in multiple steps.
The audit of Cambridge was not released for nine months.

At this time we are waiting for a phone call from the State and have no inside information as to the approximate completion date.

Per Minnesota Statute 6.715
Data that support the conclusions of the report and that the state auditor reasonably believes will result in litigation are protected nonpublic data or confidential data on individuals, until the litigation has been completed or is no longer being actively pursued.

Whether the formal proceedings against a Centerville business is related to the audit or simply coincidence is unknown to us at this time.

CENTERSTONE TITLE LLC
Respondent created and controlled sham affiliated business arrangements; and provided other forms of kickbacks to referral partners in exchange for the referral of title insurance business.

Thank you to everyone that has supported the State audit. We will continue to do our best to keep you informed of our findings.

Instead of whining about the citizens requests they should be tucking money away to pay for the audit. NOT spending more money!

Thank you for all the hard work. Too bad the city doesn't recognize this blog for what it truly is. The voice of the people. No matter how they try to spin it, we are their constituents, too. We deserve as much respect as those that agree with their policies.
They may try to minimize the group by saying "it's only a handful of people" but the fact remains that you were successful in securing a state audit by obtaining over 600 signatures of registered voters. No easy task. Look at how long Hugo has been at it.
Too bad the city doesn't want to work with you. It would be to the benefit of every citizen in Centerville.
Thanks again and God Bless.

I think the city feels if they deny what Meyers does, it somehow will go away. Thanks to the group, it won't. Past history of politicians shows that denial versus admitting only makes it stay around.

Good work guys!
