City of Arlington Receives Clean Financial and Accountability Audits for 2018
On September 16, 2019, the City of Arlington received notification from the Washington State Auditor's Office (SAO) that the City has received clean financial and accountability audits for 2018.
Stated Mayor Tolbert, "We are pleased to hear that for the fourth year in a row the SAO issued a clean audit after reviewing the City's finances, financial reporting, and accountability."
The SAO reviewed the City's financial condition and processes, as well as areas representing the highest risk of fraud, loss, abuse, or noncompliance. The auditors paid special attention to employee wages, leave balances and accruals; the City's payroll and cash receipting system conversion; the use of restricted building and land use permit fees; water and sewer billings, collections, and adjustments; travel expenditures; and the City's general financial condition and fiscal sustainability.
The audit reports highlighted the hard work by City staff to ensure compliance with all state financial reporting requirements and safeguarding of public resources from fraud, loss, or abuse. The report states in part, "In those selected areas, City operations complied with applicable state laws, regulations, and its own policies, and provided adequate controls over the safeguarding of public resources."
The audit reports are available by visiting the City's
website

Needle Clean Up Kits Available at Arlington Police Station
Used needles left are both a nuisance and potential safety concern. Whether they're used to inject medicines like insulin or for illegal drugs, used needles can spread diseases like Hepatitis C through accidental needle pokes. While the risk of contracting a disease from a needle-stick injury is very low, you can further reduce that risk with proper needle disposal. It is also important to teach children to never pick up needles and to report them to a trusted adult.
If you are cleaning up used needles, please make sure to have proper equipment to keep you safe. We recommend a sharps container, puncture-resistant gloves, tongs or a grabber, safety glasses and hand sanitizer (if soap and water are not easily accessible.) The Snohomish Health District and the City of Everett developed a short video on how to safely collect and dispose of used needles.
For your convenience, free needle clean-up kits are currently available at the Arlington Police Station, 110 E. Third Street, during normal business hours
(Monday-Friday,
9 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
