Whitley Penn, LLP representative Patrick Simmons.  
Mr. Simmons presented the audit results for Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2022. Mr.  
Simmons reviewed the role of the firm's participation in the audit. The audit process

Kudos Korner - David Nichols and the Street Division Crew - A citizen emailed praises  
for the city staff who came to clean up a tree that was blocking his street following the  
damaging storm on March 2, 2023. He wrote: “They were able to cut and haul off this  
massive tree without it causing any more damage to my truck, the mailbox or our  
property. David and his crew did an outstanding job and the city can be really proud of  
them. I am sure they were all running on fumes from the night before dealing with all the  
storm damage, yet they exhibited great attitudes and went above and beyond to put  
everything back together.”
