The RLCD board meets Monday as questions swirl over a St. Louis audit alleging General Manager Kevin Davis may have spent more than 500000 dollars of district funds since 1994. The report hints at personal use of funds while Davis prepares his defense and the audit raises eyebrows.
An Evansville audit reveals Davis drew a $216 400 salary plus a $2 400 monthly allowance and marked $145 000 in club memberships and political charitable contributions. District charges include $38 000 on a credit card for food fuel and clothes, $12 000 for dry cleaning, and $3 700 for a pontoon boat repair. The report questions why the spending surfaced now and whether the board or interim GM Terry Black overlooked audits. It notes $10 million transfers from the intercity water fund to subsidize Season's properties and Rend Lake Golf Course, prompting calls for a state investigation and an independent, expedited review.
