Audit urges Hills oversight of fire department finances
A state audit of Hills Iowa finds the volunteer fire department kept separate financial accounts from city funds. The report covers July 1 2006 to September 30 2009 and notes about 30800 in disbursements lacked adequate documentation and about 13700 may not have had a public purpose. It recommends city officials control accounts and review activity via the City Council with proper records. No wrongdoing cited.
