A recently released state auditor general report found that three checks issued from Coaldale Volunteer Fire Company’s finances were not properly documented, but the fire chief said everything has been resolved.

Fire Chief Steven Polischak, when reached this morning, said that all items that were in the report have been addressed by the department and cleared through the auditor general’s office.

He added that the department’s funding has also been released for this year.

In the audit report released Dec. 19, Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said that the fire company’s volunteer firefighters’ relief association could not provide documentation for two checks — a $1,830 check to relief association members and $240 to an unaffiliated fire company in 2017.

The report also cited one check in the amount of $250 that was issued in January 2018, but was issued after the 2017 audit period, that also did not have proper documentation for the expenditure.

“Without adequate supporting documentation, such as invoices and/or itemized receipts, this department is unable to determine whether relief association funds were expended for purposes authorized by Act 118,” the report states.

DePasquale recommended that the fire company provide his department adequate supporting documentation, such as invoices or itemized receipts to show the expenditures or reimburse the relief association for the undocumented expenditures, which Polischak said the fire company did.
