SPECIAL   PROJECT  CONSIDERATIONS
The Public Works Director requested Internal Auditing to obtain all information for this project through his office. He requested Internal Auditing to not contact Public Works employees directly. His reason for making this request was because this Change Order has already been reviewed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the grand jury. The Director said these reviews have demanded a great deal of time from his employees and have not produced any negative results. The Director wanted to reduce duplicating responses to questions already answered by Public Works staff. In addition, the Director wanted to reduce potential confusion of stormwater regulations by ensuring that requests for technical and procedural information were addressed in an orderly and expeditious way. Internal Auditing complied with this request and obtained most of the information and documents reviewed from the Director. The Director provided Internal Auditing with copies of documentation requested, answered inquiries, and volunteered other information used to support the conclusions of this report.
Section 220.02 of the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing states: The internal auditing department should have employees or use consultants who are qualified in such disciplines as accounting, economics, finance, statistics, electronic data processing, engineering, taxation, and law as needed to meet audit responsibilities. Several issues relevant to this special project require knowledge of engineering and law. Internal Auditing has relied on the engineering expertise of Public Works employees and the legal expertise of the City Attorney for resolution of these issues.

So we gonna have an audit.  Ha ha;he he; ho ho!
Above is a reproduction from the audit requested of the Public Works/Storm Water Management Departments by the grand jury.  It was presented by auditor Wood.  It is self evident that the fox lies across the door to the hen house saying "if there is any thing that you need to know I'll tell you."

KPMG made an audit of EMSA in June 1992-93 Did we make any use of it?  Ha,ha.

Ralph Anderson & Associates made a audit of Organizational Effectiveness study of the city June 1991 ($50,000)pointing to the same things many are complaining about today about the over staffing related to the work force.  Did the city address it? He,he.

The city is going to have another audit paid for by individuals.  Same reason; to quiet the citizenry just like the Public Works/Storm Water Management fiasco.  Will the citizens read it?  Ho, Ho!
