Montague County received a clean audit for fiscal 2021-22 and moved forward with a major computer system project, both of which were approved during Monday’s meeting.
Michael Edgin, Edgin, Fleming and Fleming PC, presented the 81-page audit report, plus the single federal grant audit. Commissioner Roy Darden was absent.
County officials received a “clean opinion,” with no deficiencies or errors in general accounting rules. Some of the financial highlights were as follows:
• The county’s assets exceeded its liabilities at Sept. 30, 2022 by $33,106,076 (net position). Of that amount, only $13,607,980 may be used to meet the county’s obligations.
• During the year the county’s total net position increased by $19,46,470. The county’s expenses of $16,792,987 were less than program revenues of $7,020,125 and general revenues of $11,719,332.
• The total cost of programs increased $561,699 or 3% from the prior year.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
