This is installment 6 of our in-depth analysis of the December 2015 audit of the city of Prestonsburg. In this section the state Auditor of Public Accounts highlighted some questionable spending practices. The city was presented with two hotel bills, which were not properly documented. The offending visits were categorized as training expenses, though the purchase orders did not offer and details about the location of the training or the dates attended. According to the auditor there were twenty checks written, totaling just under 56-hundered dollars. Since we are not presented with a breakdown of the budget we can only guess that this broke the city’s meal policy. Each worker is granted a $25 dollar meal budget, if the event warrants an overnight stay. This policy does not cover events that are located within 50 miles of city hall. According to Mayor Les Stapleton the city has worked to correct these egregious acts. According to the city’s corrective Action Plan the city has not only established a Purchas Order processing system, it has created an accountability system. This is Patrick Davis reporting for Q95 News.
