GLASGOW — Representatives with Taylor, Polson and Company CPAs were at the Glasgow City Council meeting Monday night to present an audit report for June 30, 2006.

John Taylor discussed highlights of the report, such as net assets increasing by $5,795,880, or 16.1 percent, and the general fund unreserved fund balance being at $5,957,000, or 54.6 percent of the general fund expenditures.

“The city’s total debt decreased by $713,000 as the result of payments on past capital lease obligations,” Taylor said.

In other business, three resolutions and the first readings of three ordinances passed regarding zone change applications.

The first ordinance rezones the property approximately 235 feet southwest of the North Race Street and Happy Valley Road intersection and approximately 140 feet northeast of the North Race and West Leech avenue intersection. This contains 0.219 total acres.
