Corrective Action Plan

MW2021-01: NON-COMPLIANCE WITH MAJOR PROGRAM COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS The City has actively recruited for a Grants Administrator to be responsible for this major program requirement. In the interim, Management will assign this task to personnel to be certain adequate retention of documents and financial records are maintained. City staff has consolidated records and continuously work to streamline responsible persons for tasks. Identification of a single source for major program reconciliation will alleviate this finding in the future. Responsible Party: Ms. Niema Walker, Finance Director
