Dresden Town Supervisor and Budget Officer, Paul Ferguson, has completed the Annual Updated Documents (AUD’s) for Dresden dating from 2013 to 2019 and has delivered them to the Comptroller’s office. Additionally, all these years have been now been accepted by the Comptrollers office. This herculean task was completed by Mr. Ferguson after having been left unfinished for several years through the terms of previous town supervisors.
The 2018 & 2019 documents are available at the Town Clerk’s office.
Because a town’s books reflect on the full faith and credit of the town, the Comptroller’s office requires that they be submitted in order. Because Dresden fell behind in producing these records in the early 2010’s, the town has been behind in trying to get caught up. When Supervisor Ferguson came into office – not only was he responsible for the current bookkeeping for his term but also for prior years, when he did not hold elected office. This was a tremendous amount of work, making him have to play “catch up” with years he had not been responsible for.
After running on a platform of fiscal responsibility and lower taxes, Mr. Ferguson has delivered on his pledge by submitting the paperwork for the 2013 – 2019 AUD’s.
