THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK<br />
Residents question City<br />
spending<br />
A group of concerned<br />
residents expressed displeasure<br />
at the Highland<br />
Park City Council meeting<br />
Tuesday, June 11, with<br />
how the City is spending<br />
and reporting money —<br />
despite the City earning<br />
positive marks on its most<br />
recent audit.<br />
The residents spoke out<br />
against, what they say, is<br />
improper use of taxpayer<br />
dollars by Mayor Nancy<br />
Rotering and the City, as<br />
more than $1 million will<br />
be spent on creating additional<br />
parking for the library<br />
as part of the City’s<br />
library expansion project.<br />
“You can make it as<br />
beautiful as you want, but<br />
at the end of the day it is<br />
still a parking lot,” Highland<br />
Park resident Beatrice<br />
Trier said. “We don’t need<br />
more parking. We need to<br />
conserve green spaces.”<br />
Highland Park resident<br />
Michael Pinsel said that<br />
because a parking study<br />
has not been completed, it<br />
is “irresponsible” to earmark<br />
the funds for parking<br />
lots.<br />
He also claimed the cost<br />
of the parking lots reported<br />
by the City should be at<br />
least $1.5 million higher.<br />
City Manager Ghida<br />
Neukirch said that both<br />
properties in question are<br />
“assets to the city” and<br />
should not have been included<br />
in the report.<br />
Rotering agreed with<br />
Neukirch.<br />
Although a few residents<br />
complained about<br />
financials, the City announced<br />
it had passed a<br />
yearly third-party audit,<br />
otherwise known as a<br />
Comprehensive Annual<br />
Financial Report, that is<br />
required of every state municipality.<br />
The City received an<br />
“unmodified opinion,”<br />
which is the most favorable<br />
opinion a city can<br />
receive in a CAFR. There<br />
were shown to be no material<br />
deficiencies, and all<br />
financial statements were<br />
deemed in line with “generally<br />
accepted accounting<br />
principles.”<br />
