Financial Reports

An itemized record of money received, money spent, and annual summaries for the Cornland Special Road District.

Financial Transparency

The Cornland Special Road District is committed to full financial transparency. An itemized record of the money received and the money spent for recent fiscal years is provided below, reconciled directly from bank statements. Click any fiscal year to expand the full transaction detail. Annual financial reports filed with the Missouri State Auditor are linked in the archive table at the bottom of this page.

Where the district's own bank statements disagree with a figure in a previously filed annual report or an internal worksheet, the bank statement governs. Where a difference exists, it is disclosed rather than smoothed over.

Fines and the Audit Invoice

Two amounts that landowners sometimes ask about do not appear in the money received and money spent below, and it is worth saying plainly why.

Department of Revenue late-filing fines. Fines were assessed against the district under Section 105.145 RSMo for failing to file annual financial reports with the State Auditor on time. Those fines were waived in full under House Bill 199, effective August 28, 2025, and no district money was ever paid toward them. They therefore appear nowhere in these figures. The Audit & Compliance page explains this in full.

State Auditor's audit invoice. The State Auditor's invoice for the cost of conducting the 2022 audit, in the amount of $25,088.83, is a separate obligation and is still outstanding. It has not been paid, so it does not appear as a disbursement. Payment plan discussions are underway. When payments begin, they will appear in the fiscal year in which they are made.

A note on the payroll check (#1284). The district hired its first employee, a grader operator, during FY2026. The $424.81 shown is the employee's net pay after required federal and state taxes are withheld. The withheld amounts are remitted separately to the taxing authorities and will appear as their own payments in the fiscal year in which they clear the bank. The district's total labor cost for these hours is therefore somewhat higher than the net check shown here.

Both will be added to the Money Spent list once they clear, consistent with this page's bank-statement-first reconciliation policy.

FEMA Disaster Reimbursements, 2021–2024

Reimbursements for the 2019 flood repair project (DR-4451) arrived across four fiscal years and appear within the annual detail above. Reconciled from bank statements, the district received $84,845.85 in total.

Materials previously published by the district listed the total as $76,511.98 — a figure from an internal worksheet that tracked calculated shares rather than deposits and predated the final two payments in 2024. The corrected total agrees with FEMA's own final accounting to within $8.51. The full year-by-year breakdown and reconciliation are on the 2019 FEMA Project page.
