Council accepts FY2026 fraud-risk assessment and votes to enter closed session on pending litigation
Summary
Staff summarized the city’s fraud-risk assessment, noting robust internal controls and a high score (about 370 of 395), and the council voted to accept the report. Near the meeting’s end, the council moved into a closed session to discuss pending litigation under state code.
Staff reviewed the annual fraud-risk assessment produced for the Utah State Auditor's Office and summarized internal controls, separation-of-duties practices, and a hotline for reporting suspected fraud. The presenter said the city achieved roughly 370 out of a possible 395 points and rated as low-risk.
“Every year the Utah State Auditor's Office asks all public entities to go through what is termed fraud risk assessment,” the presenter said, outlining internal controls, procurement safeguards and a hotline for reporting suspected fraud. Staff noted some small policy updates remain—cash-handling policies and formal internal-audit engagement documentation—but overall described the city’s program as robust.
Council unanimously voted to accept the FY2026 fraud-risk assessment. Shortly after that vote a council member moved—and the council seconded—to go into a closed session under Utah Code 52-4-205(c) to discuss pending litigation; the motion carried and the meeting prepared to move to closed session.
