Post-audit subcommittee affirms survey-based executive director review and adds one IT-security audit slot
Summary
The subcommittee affirmed using a survey process to evaluate the executive director, agreed to seek feedback from the full legislative body, and accepted a late addition to choose one more agency for an IT-security audit slot.
The Legislative Post Audit Committee Executive Subcommittee agreed to continue using a survey-based process to evaluate the executive director and to seek broader input from the full legislature; members also confirmed the committee will select one additional agency for an IT-security audit slot that recently became available.
Chris said the committee’s normal practice is for the subcommittee to conduct the executive director’s performance evaluation using a survey compiled and sent by Tom Day, director of Legislative Administrative Services; the responses are collected and compiled by Day and discussed in an executive session, typically at the end-of-year meeting.
Senator Thompson urged that the committee survey all 165 legislators to gauge awareness and use of legislative post-audit services before finalizing an evaluation instrument. "I don't wanna I'm not against this, but I do feel like we should, ask, all a 165 legislators how they feel about post audit," she said. Committee staff agreed to locate and share prior survey instruments and to propose timing; staff suggested sending surveys in the first week of the legislative session to improve response rates.
Tom Day’s role in compiling responses and the plan to hold an executive session for discussion were confirmed. Committee members raised timing and response-rate concerns and requested that the survey seek feedback on awareness of post-audit services and the usefulness of audit products.
Separately, staff reported that the IT security audit team has one additional slot available and the committee said it will pick one more agency for that audit work; staff will bring the selection back to the committee for scheduling.
Dusty Ralston, the legislature’s audio-visual coordinator, offered to assist colleagues who have difficulty connecting to meeting platforms; that offer was accepted.
Committee members expressed general support for continuing the existing survey process and for resurrecting and adapting past survey questions to capture awareness and usage metrics.
