MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

There was no documented control in place to review reports prior to submission for CSLFRF; and, for the annual report submitted in April 2025, the incorrect amount was reported for expenditures in the current year. Cause: Review controls have not been implemented and expenditures of $114,170 for 2024 were previously reported as expenditures when obligated in 2022. Effect: Inaccurate information could have been reported or lines with required information could have been missed. Questioned Costs: None. Context/Sampling: No sampling was used. Only one annual report was filed. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No Recommendation: We recommend a documented review process be implemented prior to report submission to ensure all lines are properly entered and agree to the applicable backup. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

In our testing of procurement, suspension, and debarment it was identified that there was no observable control documentation to directly indicate that a cost or price analysis was performed in connection with one covered transaction. Additionally, the City secured a contract through noncompetitive proposal without meeting one of the allowable circumstances as indicated in 2 CFR section 200.320. Cause: Lack of oversight, awareness or understanding of all of the specific requirements under the Uniform Guidance and applicable CFR sections and controls were not adequately designed to ensure compliance with all of these requirements. Effect: A lack of established controls increase the overall risk that employees are not aware of the specific requirements with contracting and awarding contracts to lower tier entities. Questioned Costs: None reported. Context/Sampling: All vendors, which totaled three, were selected for procurement testing. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No. Recommendation: We recommend that management maintain adequate supporting documentation and records to document history and methods of procurement and the procedures performed to comply with these CFR sections. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.
