Audit committee flags 43 open recommendations; bond oversight needs action
Summary
The board’s audit committee reported that longstanding bond-performance audit recommendations remain open and urged stronger oversight, coordination with Bond Accountability Committee and Facilities Improvement and Oversight Committee.
Director Sullivan, chair of the audit committee, briefed the full board on the year‑6 bond performance audit. The auditors issued multiple recommendations focused on information flow, oversight responsibilities and implementation tracking.
The auditors found that oversight had occurred but that “disconnects existed and certain information was not getting to the board or bond accountability committee,” prompting nine recommendations in the most recent audit focused on improving decision‑maker information and demonstrating stronger oversight. The audit committee’s report said 52 recommendations were made since 2019; after adding the year‑6 recommendations, 43 audit recommendations remain in progress or not implemented.
Audit committee leadership said they will request periodic updates, track implementation and work with other committee chairs to assign follow-up responsibilities. The committee urged the board to prioritize oversight of the bond program and to require status reporting on outstanding audit recommendations.
