Context: We addressed the matter with City management who are aware of the reporting requirements. Effect: Failure to properly review and adhere to policies and procedures related to reporting can lead to noncompliance as well as the withholding of future awards. Cause: Management oversight.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: We concur with the finding.
