Financial - 2021

  • Completed business license and alcohol license audits.
  • The City of Brookhaven is a direct recipient of American Rescue Plan funding.  The City Council has chosen to use this funding in two specific ways.  First is to pay for the costs of the public safety department in its effort to enforce the State of Georgia mandated rules during the emergency declaration of the Governor.  Second, any remaining funds will be applied to 2020 – 2024 loss of revenue in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
  • The City’s Internal Auditor had been with the City since its inception. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has a best practice that external audit firms have a 5-year contract limitation (with some exceptions).  The City decided to apply this standard also to its contracted internal auditor and in the third quarter was able to bring on a new firm.
