Facilities Management Contract Administration, Audit No. 2005
January 29, 2020
Facilities Management annually allocates about $3 million to contract certain services, such as custodial and specialized services. The audit determined that Facilities Management had not ensured payments matched the contracted prices, overpaying one tested contractor by about $164,000 from July 2017 through November 2019. Also, contractor performance was not effectively monitored and performance problems effectively addressed. Further, relevant documents were not consistently retained in contract files, and the files regularly reviewed for completeness and accuracy.

Police Special Revenues, Audit No. 1907
January 29, 2020
As of July 1, 2019, Police Department special program balances totaled more than $680,000, with an additional $4 million held by a county and a state agency. RICO community grants appear to be donations, and other RICO program aspects can be better managed. Also, the department’s Cadet program maintained a bank account outside of the City treasury, and controls over revenues, expenses and records retention were not adequate. Further, the department’s controls over donations, cash handling and expenditure approvals can be improved.
