VAN WERT – During a brief Van Wert City Council meeting on Monday, City Auditor Martha Balyeat spoke about how CARES Act monies affected the budget in 2020.
At the end of 2020, the City carried over $2 million in the General Fund, but Balyeat said it won t be fair to compare 2020 to other years. We have not carried over $2 million in the General Fund in the 21 years that I have been here, said Balyeat.
