The 25+ year Mayor has proven time and time again that he is skilled at downplaying critical issues like these, even if bordering on &#8216;actionable offences&#8217;. A growing group of part-time residents, as well as full-time residents, have discussed a recall to remove Guenther from office after news broke of this debacle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mitchell Gonzalez, a full-time resident of Brigantine said: We&#8217;re not talking grey area here. It&#8217;s black and white.

The effect was \u201cnot all transactions were properly recorded nor were transfers made within the period in which the disbursements occurred meaning the city is not compliant with New Jersey Administrative Code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>According to the report, the city had an over-expenditure of appropriations<\/strong> in the current fund appropriation reserves, which is not permitted by local budget law and local finance board regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The city approved a debt service payment of \u201cbond anticipation notes and capital notes in the current fund before verifying that there were sufficient funds available in the budget lines,\u201d the report said.&nbsp;As a result, Costello said, the over-expenditures must be raised in the 2015 municipal budget as deferred charges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bank accounts were not reconciled<\/strong> in a timely manner and records were not available until the beginning of March 2015, he said. As a result, the annual municipal financial statement could not be filed on time as required by state statute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The city\u2019s master bank account reconciliation was inaccurately prepared<\/strong> and the city\u2019s engineering escrow bank account was not reconciled at all in 2014, Costello said. Several expenses were unrecorded at year end as well as unresolved bank charges, inaccurate debt service payments and invalid encumbrances recorded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There were several invalid purchase orders noted in all of the city\u2019s funds.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Brigantine Financial Report noted that some purchase orders were entered in duplicate, others did not have any support attached, and several could not be located.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Another finding said the fixed asset ledger was not maintained in 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>State administrative code requires the city to maintain a fixed asset ledger consisting of detailed property records for controlling additions, retirements and transfers of fixed assets.<\/p>\n<p>The City Clerk\u2019s Office failed to reconcile dog and marriage licenses in 2014, the report said, resulting in the state not receiving proper amounts. State reports were not signed or submitted on a timely basis, according to Costello.<\/p>\n<h4>The City of Brigantine was apparently unaware that the Police and Fire department post retirement dental benefits-liability had to be recorded.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brigantine bank accounts not reconciled, purchase orders in duplicate, asset ledger not maintained in 2014, and checks for 6 grand sent monthly to a Florida LLC that used to manage golf courses.
