PINE LAWN • The municipal court in Pine Lawn has made little progress toward improving widespread mismanagement exposed in a state audit six months ago, Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway said in a follow-up report issued Monday.

The audit found that Pine Lawn had generated 46 percent of its general operating revenue from traffic violations, and owed $400,000 to the state Department of Revenue, an amount equal to more than 15 percent of the city’s general operating revenue in 2015.

That money would be distributed to public schools in St. Louis County, under state law.

The auditor’s office gave the court in the north St. Louis County city a rating of “poor,” the lowest possible rating.

Six months later, the money has not been paid back, and city officials do not appear to have plans to do so, Galloway said.
