Staff of the LGC, along with staff of the entire Department of State Treasurer, extends our thoughts to everyone in western North Carolina and all those impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
LGC staff wants to provide as much support as we can to local governments impacted by the storm and as much flexibility as possible related to LGC reporting deadlines. Given that our western communities must first focus on addressing critical basic needs and that the circumstances in each community are so varied, we don’t believe that establishing arbitrary dates as due date “extensions” is the best approach.
Instead, we ask that local governments and public authorities impacted by the storm contact our Coach Team at Coach@nctreasurer.com to discuss concerns related to your interactions with the LGC including audit reports, AFIRs, LGC-203s, debt applications, debt payment confirmations, etc. We’ll work with each unit to determine how we can best support them and provide flexibility in their reporting requirements.
Note –
The School of Government continues to host weekly office hours. For the next several weeks (maybe months), they are focusing on Hurricane Helene response, focusing on finance issues. Office hours are an opportunity for those who need assistance and those who have information and resources to share. See details, dates, and times at Office Hours – NC Finance Connect
