Council approves consent agenda including FY2026 fraud risk assessment; score noted at 370 of 395
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda, which included the fiscal-year 2026 fraud risk assessment. Staff said the city's score is 370 out of a possible 395; two checklist items (credit/purchasing-card policy and an audit committee) were not yet in place and were offered as items staff could address to increase the score.
The council approved the consent items, including the fiscal year 2026 fraud risk assessment, by motion and second. Staff said the assessment had a score of 370 out of a possible 395 and that two items (a formal credit/purchasing-card policy and an audit committee) were not checked.
"It is good. We have, I believe, a rating of 370, and you can get up to 395," staff said, adding that the missing items could be addressed by putting written policy in place and that existing mitigating controls (review of receipts, two-signature controls) are used in practice. Council directed staff to consider drafting a written purchasing-card policy and noted that AI-assisted drafting could speed the work.
The consent agenda motion carried and the assessment was approved as presented.
