Attention to expenditures, increased fees, limits on legacy costs and efforts to capture state-shared revenue helped the city increase its general fund balance by approximately $400,000, according to its annual audit.
Berkley "squeaked by" during the past fiscal year, largely due to keeping a close eye on expenditures, according to a recent review by auditors from Plante & Moran. The city received a clean audit opinion – the highest level of assurance – for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, according to Plante & Moran partner Beth Bialy, who also noted that the city's general fund balance was up slightly during a presentation to the City Council on Nov. 19. Bialy praised Berkley for completing its first Comprehensive Annual Financial Report – a more in-depth accounting of the city's finances than has been delivered in the past – and carefully controlling its expenditures.
