From County Auditor Milene Henley
San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley has announced the publication of an annual financial report for the County for fiscal year 2011. The County has always prepared an annual report for the State Auditor. That report consists of a number of statistical “schedules,” many of which are rather arcane and not particularly user-friendly. Henley’s new format Annual Report is designed to look more like a corporate annual report. In addition to most of the schedules submitted to the State Auditor, it includes some bonus reports of interest, as well as background on the County, its officers, and significant recent events.
