recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed resolution.
...explanation
The City's internal auditor advised the Audit and Finance Committee that Charter Section 3.05 and Resolution No. 970187, both relating to the functions, policies, and procedures of his office, were outdated and should be revised. The Audit and Finance Committee recommended and the City Commission approved the City Attorney and City Auditor draft the requested changes and bring them back by resolution and/or ordinance.
The requested revisions can be accomplished by the adoption of an ordinance and by amending the auditor's resolution and the city commission rules. Ordinance No. 150284 and Resolution No. 150297 are companions to this resolution.
Existing City Resolution No. 970187, was adopted to describe in detail the City Auditor responsibilities and administrative procedures. Since 1997, some publications and auditing standards have been replaced or updated. Moreover, the companion ordinance to this resolution describes the auditor's responsibilities as including performance audits, attestation engagements and serving as the city's inspector general. This resolution describes in detail what these responsibilities are and the procedures the internal auditor will take to perform them.
