Summary

The Audit Committee unanimously approved FY27 Workplan Option A, commissioning audits of the Clerk of Commission, Municipal Court and Central Services and scheduling follow-ups for Transit and Capital Projects.

The Audit Committee unanimously approved FY27 Workplan Option A at its March 5 meeting, directing staff to audit the Clerk of Commission, the Municipal Court and the Central Services Department in fiscal year 2027. The committee voted to proceed with the smaller, more numerous audits rather than two larger, consolidated reviews; Ms. Higgins moved the measure and Mr. Blount seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Internal Auditor Hassemer explained the choice reflects recent turnover in the Clerk of Commission and Municipal Court and the committee’s preference to give incoming staff an audit-based orientation. Hassemer also noted Transit and Capital Projects audits will be due for follow-up in FY27. Committee members flagged internal controls as a priority for departmental audits and asked staff to emphasize 4–5 specific controls per audit to guide departments in annual checks.
