TOWN OF WALLKILL — The state comptroller's office rapped the Circleville Fire Company for making payments without following proper procedures, in an audit released Thursday. Auditors went over records from Jan. 1, 2012 to Oct. 22, 2013, randomly testing 40 disbursements, and found more than half either weren't approved at a company meeting, or were approved but didn't have proper supporting documentation. All the payments were for legitimate fire company purposes, for things such as fire company social events and the annual dinner. Fire Company President Kevin Holland said in a response letter that they would improve their record-keeping.
