Prairie du Chien’s government leaders were informed about the city’s 2017 audited financial statements, thanks to highlights presented by Brent Nelson, of Johnson Block and Company, at Tuesday night’s council meeting. Overall, the general fund balance is healthy, he said.
Nelson made several recommendations to the council based on the status of the general, reserves and TIF funds.
“The general fund decreased by $107,000. Revenue exceeded expenses and was more than budgeted. The biggest component of that was the library campaign fund,” the certified accountant explained.
