Audit committee hears risk-management updates; outdoor dining enforcement gap flagged
Summary
Risk Manager Megan Damato reported insurance coordination with BOE building committees, a Greenwich High School inspection with safety recommendations, a compliance gap in outdoor dining on Town property (to be revisited in June with P&Z Director), and an ERM software evaluation with a Gallagher demo expected in July.
The BET Audit Committee received a series of risk-management updates at its May 14 meeting, with the Risk Manager identifying an enforcement gap for outdoor dining and noting several upcoming items for committee review.
Megan Damato, Risk Manager for the Town, said communication has been established with Board of Education building-committee chairs to coordinate insurance transitions and confirmed that active projects currently have certificates of insurance in place. She reported that Risk Logic completed an inspection of Greenwich High School and recommended steps related to electrical inspections, fire pump documentation, decommissioned solar panels and flood emergency response planning; BOE Facilities will follow up on those recommendations.
Ms. Damato told the committee she identified a compliance gap involving outdoor dining establishments operating on Town property without approved applications. She agreed to report back to the Audit Committee at its June meeting with Patrick LaRow, Planning & Zoning Director, on next steps for enforcement.
Ms. Damato also said a cybersecurity review and a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) assessment are underway as part of an enterprise-risk-management (ERM) review; the committee was told a vendor demonstration with Gallagher is anticipated in July. The Audit Committee listed cybersecurity/IT, an AI Task Force update, an RSM audit kickoff, an Outdoor Dining Enforcement Action Plan and a Risk Fund Policy discussion on the June agenda, with insurance renewals and an ERM demo slated for July.
The committee did not take formal action on these items at the meeting; staff will return with enforcement recommendations, inspection follow-ups, and ERM-vendor information at future meetings.
