PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
| HELD TO CALL OF THE CHAIR
Minutes note: Appeared Corey Zetts she stated the commission’s role is oversight of the district (policy, finance, personnel, operations, including plant operator). She said the commission did not know of the mismanagement allegations until recently. She said steps have been initiated to begin an independent, third-party
performance audit overseen by the commission (and overseen by a commission member).
Appeared Ald. Chambers he emphasized the commission will decide collectively on the auditor, will consider recommendations, but will not be required to follow recommendations from outside organizations. He noted the district staff provides regular/monthly audits and reporting at commission meetings. Confidence was expressed that staff will identify legitimate concerns and also report out if allegations are baseless.
President José G. Pérez stressed the importance of independence and the appearance of independence, and asked about the specific process and timeline for auditor selection and how long it will take. | Pass | 5:0 |
