City staff urge completion of state auditor training to protect transparency score
Summary
City staff reviewed the state auditor transparency dashboard and asked councilors and staff to complete a recommended (nonstatutory) training that will produce completion certificates; the auditors may deduct points from the city's self-assessment if certificates are not produced.
Peter (staff) described a state auditor dashboard that lists compliance items across cities and said the auditors' office is increasing standardization — including job-title alignment and training verification. He warned the auditors would deduct 20 points on the city's self-assessment if the requested training is not completed and certificates are not available.
Council members discussed logistics and timing; staff will email a registration link and councilors agreed to complete the online training and retain certificates for the auditors’ review. Several members said the training likely consists of watching a video and answering a few questions; staff encouraged everyone to register and print the certificate at the end of the course.
