Reforms for Manassas City EDA call for more clarity, financial accountability

Members of the Manassas City Economic Development Authority said their funds were left unprotected when the Board's treasurer resigned two weeks ago, and he retained the ability to withdraw authority funds.

Alvin White's resigned from his post term on the EDA expired after being elected to serve in January as its treasurer. He was appointed by the Manassas City Council to serve a four-year term that began in 2011.

When the city's EDA met on Tuesday, August 16, White's name was still listed on a signature card giving him the ability to walk into any of three banks used by the city's EDA and withdraw funds, according to sitting Board members. There is no evidence White made such a withdraw following his resignation from the EDA.
