Renaissance Home expenses were a tad over $100,000 more than revenues in the year ending June 30, reducing the facility’s net assets position to $6.7 million.

The audit report posted Monday puts revenue at $2.79 million, almost all of it from a dedicated property tax, and expenses at $2.81 million.

Detention costs were $1.2 million, the girls residence/shelter required $500,000 and management and general expenses accounted for the remainder.

Auditors discovered two employees were underpaid and one overpaid, a result of mis- computation due to the shift differentials involved at the 24-hour, seven-day facility.

They recommended a second party review timesheets before a payroll is closed.

That recommendation has been implemented as of October 15, the board notes, and the under/overpayments corrected.

A federal review of the home’s National School Lunch Program found inadequate records and a lack of formalized procurement procedures.

Consequently, auditors noted, reviewers were unable to illustrate what products were purchased with federal funds or they were purchased at reasonable price from approved vendor.

Following the issue of the review findings, the audit report notes, the board at a June 19 meeting found it no longer economically feasible to participate in the program, withdrawing as of June 30.
