Title
Report on the Status of Outstanding Audit Recommendations for February 2015 (B)
Explanation
City Commission Resolution 970187, City Auditor Responsibilities and Administrative Procedures, requires the City Auditor to notify the appropriate Charter Officer of recommendations projected for implementation in the following six months. The responsible department managers prepare a written status report to the appropriate Charter Officer who then provides this information to the City Auditor. The City Auditor's Office verifies that corrective action has been taken and summarizes the results to the Audit and Finance Committee.
During the past several months, the City Auditor worked with the appropriate Charter Officers in preparing a status report on 33 outstanding audit recommendations. We have reviewed management's feedback on the implementation of outstanding recommendations and prepared the attached status report summarizing the results of our review.
We would like to express our thanks to the City Manager, Equal Opportunity Director, Interim General Manager for Utilities and the various departments participating in this review process.
Recommendation
The Audit and Finance Committee recommends that the City Commission:
1) accept the City Auditor's report, and
2) Establish a referral to the Legislative and Organizational Policy Committee regarding "Rehiring of Retirees" and direct the Charter Officers to provide a draft policy to the Committee codifying the parameters in which City retirees may be rehired.
