Receipt of Audit, Presentation to CFO Highlight Tonight's Council Meeting

The Galloway Township Council will acknowledge receipt of the 2010 audit, according to the agenda for tonight’s meeting, 6:30 p.m. at the municipal complex.

This year’s audit proved to be good news for the township, which saw just one recommendation, pertaining to the township’s fixed asset accounting system.

The recommendation was that the township utilize an approved disposal and transfer form, tag all its fixed asset equipment and take steps to ensure the categorical and complete accuracy of all items detailed in their fixed asset accounting system, to correct minor problems in the township’s fixed asset accounting system.

The audit found that the township didn’t exceed the bid threshold in its bids for multiple construction projects last year, followed the appropriate resolutions on the collection of delinquent taxes and tax title liens, and municipal funds from the collection of delinquent taxes were deposited within the mandated 48 hours of collection time.

The full audit is available by request from the township clerk’s office.

The township will also make a presentation to departing Chief Financial Officer at tonight’s meeting. Gougher will be acting as township manager for tonight’s meeting, and for the week, as Township Manager is out of town.

On Monday, Bonanni issued a statement praising Gougher, his second such statement over the course of the past month.

“I would like to thank Jill Gougher for her twenty four (24) years of dedicated service to Galloway Township residents in her numerous roles,” Bonanni said in the statement released on Monday. “Jill never backed down from a challenge and has always had the best interest of Galloway Township residents at heart.  Not only her experience in Finance, but her dedication to work will surely help Asbury Park as it has Galloway.

"It has been great working with a professional like Jill.”

Gougher will be departing to take a similar job in Asbury Park on July 15.
