City Will Get Draft of Audit Next Week

City Council members will receive a draft of the state's audit of Springfield next week, according to a spokeswoman for the State Auditor's office.

The KY3 Political Notebook has learned the state is in the "exit portion" of the audit. As typical procedure, the state will ask the city for responses to its findings and then take another two weeks or so to process the final report.

"We are shooting for a public report of our findings by the end of November," said spokeswoman Samantha Brewer.

Auditors still have a fair share of work to do with City Utilities portion of the audit, according to Brewer.

She hopes that portion will be finalized before year's end.
