Demand for Accountability: Independent Audit of Fairmont Hockey Association


Demand for Accountability: Independent Audit of Fairmont Hockey Association
The Issue
As citizens of Fairmont, MN, we are deeply concerned by recent reports of financial discrepancies, governance failures, and lack of transparency involving the Fairmont Hockey Association and other entities.
Key Concerns:
1. A $152,159 discrepancy in the Fairmont Hockey Association’s Form 990 tax reporting from one year to the next, alongside other unexplained financial differences.
2. Reports of felony theft of funds linked to the organization, with investigations reopened (reference: FMP-24-376).
3. Governance issues and questionable processes at both organizational and city levels, undermining community trust.
We Call For:
• An independent, comprehensive audit of the Fairmont Hockey Association’s finances and operations.
• Immediate public disclosure of the audit findings and implementation of corrective measures.
• Stronger oversight and transparency from local authorities to protect public resources and restore trust. We urge all Fairmont citizens and concerned individuals to support this petition to demand accountability and transparency.
Sign this petition to make your voice heard. Together, we can ensure Fairmont’s resources and community interests are protected.
