At their April 4 meeting, the Staunton Township Trustees reviewed the notification from State Auditor Dave Yost that the township books will be audited the last week of April. Fiscal Officer Sarah Fine will arrange for a conference room in city hall for the auditors to use. According to the document from Yost, the audit will take approximately a week and will cost the township around $1800. The auditors will look at income and expenses for the years 2014 and 2015.

In other business, Fine announced that she will attend a training class on April 21 and 22 to train on the new the Uniform Accounting Network (UAN) software and hardware. The new system will support the accounting, payroll and financial management activities for the township. After the training class, Fine expects to be given an installation date to start using the new system.

Trustee Jeff Cron reported that a truckload of building materials was dumped on Rusk Rd. According to Cron, the Sheriff’s Department cannot cite illegal dumpers unless they see the dumping of the material. However, the Sheriff’s Department can talk to the violators and encourage them to clean up the site. Trustee Levi Long and Cron will pick up the debris and take it to the dump.

The next meeting of the Staunton Township Trustees is scheduled for April 18, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the township building.
