Audit director summarizes engineering, signal, visitor‑center and wastewater audit follow‑ups
Summary
Audit director Jed Johnson briefed council on recent audits: engineering fee assessment (identified unassessed contractor registration fees), traffic‑signal modernization monitoring, visitor center controls, wastewater contract follow‑ups and Fire/EMS controlled‑substance tracking improvements. Management is implementing most recommendations.
Jed Johnson, audit director, presented highlights from the audit committee's June meeting and reported positive observations and opportunities for improvement across five topics. On engineering fee assessments, the audit found that some right‑of‑way contractor registrations and insurance documentation were not consistently tracked and that roughly $11,000 in contractor registration fees were not assessed in a sampled period.
Johnson also reported progress on traffic‑signal modernization (125 of 203 intersections modernized), recommended pursuing additional TxDOT reimbursements where eligible, and noted cybersecurity compliance for the signal vendor. Follow‑ups on municipal wastewater agreements show meter additions and contractual clarifications are underway, and Fire/EMS has implemented new narcotics tracking and disposition procedures to address prior audit recommendations. Council thanked the audit team and asked staff to post full reports and continue follow‑up tracking.
