State Audit Update

We have received several inquiries regarding the status of the Centerville State Audit.
The Office of State Auditor has been met with and the matter is in their hands now.
Regarding what will be investigated:
It is up to the State officials to determine what will be looked into.
Some of the spending concerns raised by many residents may fall under the City's jurisdiction.
At this point we have no further information and do not expect to receive any until the audit is complete. At that time it will become public information.
Thanks again to all the people that supported the effort.

Save Centerville State Audit Meeting 9/16/2008

Attention Centerville Citizens!
Update
It has been brought to our attention that have been confused regarding the City debt. We have attempted to get the accurate information from our officials. Dallas Larson stated that special assessments do not count against the state mandated limit, even though it's still debt. The only thing we know for certain today is that
"The City of Centerville has $8,055,896 in long term debt."
John Meyer
Finance Director
Date: August 13, 2008

Do you wonder why we needed multi-colored cross-walks, 20 lamp posts over a two block area while our City debt is over 8 million dollars?

Has your property been threatened by eminent domain even though it is against MN state law?
Are you being bullied by city officials for a new trail system, power lines, land, or increased taxes without appropriate representation?
Has your real estate taxes sky rocketed for absolutely no reason, or because of special assessments?
Are you frustrated by other actions (or lack of action) by our city officials?

If you said “YES!” to any of these statements, please join the Neighborhood meeting that represents CHANGE!

WHERE: Bobby and Steve’s Conference Room
WHEN: September 16, 6:30 pm
