WTH - 1 hour 31 minutes to get to the treasurer report?

So, how have we been set up to fail and who has done it?

The Council harassed and fought with the previous treasurer. They didn't like that she insisted on following procurement laws. They didn't like that she was strong and knew her stuff. They made demands such as when Councilor Desmet said: "We want to know every expense"

The previous treasurer asked in that meeting 'you want me to read the budget to you?? That will take all night.'

Finally it was at a point that the Council was telling the previous treasurer - Quit or Be Fired.

So the end of the month when monthly reports are due and the end of the year when year end reports are due and the end of the payroll time when payroll is due and the start of the month when bank recon happens and the start of the year when new budget is due and all the new yearly bills come in- she was ousted out.

The Village of Bosque Farms was set up for Failure.

The Council might stand by their words 'we didn't fire her' but they threatened it. They kept putting her on the agenda under executive session. Every employee knows when you are on executive session what will be discussed is if you stay an employee.

The worst time of the year to get rid of an employee - the worst time of the year to get rid of a treasurer... and now the Council is screaming at the Mayor and the current Treasurer and the Clerk Administrator - Why haven't bills been paid?

Well this is a result of the situation the Council put this Village into. What a shameful situation.
