City of McFarland Financial Statements

On December 12, I requested several documents from the city including financial statements for the last five years and documents listing travel expenses for city officials. Here is a copy of the form I submitted to the city.

I wasn't surprised when city officials told me that all they could provide to me was financial statements up until the end of the fiscal year in June 2003. The mayor took office sometime in March 2003 and I guess for some reason they are unable to find their financial statements for the rest of the fiscal years from this point on. I wonder if they were even completed at all. They also haven't provided me with any documents listing what the city has paid out for the mayor's travel expenses.

Looking at the financial statements that they were able to provide, it appears that the city was making steady progress. Net income was growing in the range of ~$200-300k per year before the mayor came in. Net assets for the city nearly doubled from approximately 6 million to 12 million dollars over a 3 year period. So I wonder why the current mayor's administration is unable to provide these statements to prove to us that they are improving our city. Could they be hiding the fact that they are squandering the surplus left by the previous administration? Hmmm....
