From the November 21, 2016, HART board minutes:  “. . . Finance Committee had gone through the budget in great detail.  The only change made was the addition of the amount of $250,000 for special audit services.  Ms. Fujii moved to recommend approval of the FY 2018 Operating and Capital Budgets to the full Board.”  The budgets were unanimously approved.

It is extremely disappointing to learn that just six months after this unanimous approval the HART board has decided to use that funding for something else.
