The Parsons City Commission gets good news from auditors regarding the City’s 2025 finances.

 

Auditor and CPA Kyle Spielbusch with the accounting firm Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips was at this week’s commission meeting to go over the results of the 2025 audit with commissioners. Spielbusch says the City’s finances are in order.

 

Commissioner Leland Crooks asked about what he called some big misses in what funds were budgeted versus what was actually spent. Mayor Kevin Cruse says that is a frequent issue due to the time frame in which the City puts together its budget.

 

In other business, commissioners also issued a proclamation marking this Friday as Gun Violence Awareness Day. They also heard a report from Juneteenth Organizer Sontana Johnson regarding the City’s upcoming celebration of the holiday.
