Evansville Local Public Improvement Bond Bank Meeting - June 4, 2026
The Evansville Local Public Improvement Bond Bank held a meeting on June 4, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. The board approved the previous meeting minutes, accepted financial reports, and adopted the annual audit report. The meeting also addressed a voucher register, updated a member list, and cancelled a future meeting.
Discussion Items
- Financial Reports: Robert and Cody presented the financial reports. Cash and investments decreased by approximately $2 million, mainly due to a $1.9 million disbursement to the emergency dispatch for equipment and a $610,000 payment to the Evansville Police Department for vehicle purchases. Short-term CDs were used to maintain liquidity. The board discussed keeping cash available for pending DMD projects. The reports were accepted by a unanimous voice vote.
- Audit Report: Ashley Schultz of Harding Shamanski and Company presented the audited financial statements for the bond bank. She noted a clean (unqualified) opinion. Key changes included a slight dip in cash due to additional CD purchases, a $1.8 million bond issuance in 2025, and $4.6 million in bond proceeds received. One adjusting journal entry corrected a $14,000 check that was improperly coded to interest income rather than principal reduction. The audit report was accepted by a unanimous voice vote.
- Voucher Register and Member List: The board reviewed and signed the voucher register for invoices. A member list update (email address change) was approved without questions.
- Cancellation of Future Meeting: Staff requested and the board agreed to cancel the June 18 or 19 meeting, with a reminder to be sent by Pam.
