Policy and Finance committee forwards recommendation for city auditor/performance audit to governing body
Summary
Committee members expressed support for a city auditor or contracted performance audit to identify efficiencies amid budget shortfalls and voted to forward the recommendation to the governing body for further consideration.
The Policy and Finance Committee voted on July 10 to forward a citizens’ review-committee recommendation on a city auditor to the governing body.
Committee members said a performance audit — whether done by contract or by creating a position — could identify efficiencies as the city addresses budget shortfalls. Councilmember Michelle Bradbury moved to forward the matter and Council member David Banks seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. Committee members discussed that existing annual financial audits are already performed and that a performance audit could be scheduled periodically rather than annually.
The committee did not adopt a final scope, budget or timeline for the audit at the meeting; the motion sends the recommendation to the full governing body for further action and deliberation.
