311-2019 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members o the City ommission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 30, 2019
SUBJECT: Audit Committee
The Audit Committee would like you to be aware of the following motion that was approved in the May 29, 2019
meeting:
Motion: If the City Administration feels that the best course of action for the City concerning the towing audits
currently being conducted by the Office of Internal Audit is to outsource such audits, the Audit Committee strongly
recommends that the following items should be taken into consideration by the City Administration:
1 . The cost of the audit should be borne by the companies in conflict for the new audits.
2. There should be a set of procedures that are mutually agreed upon by the towing companies
and the City. The Audit Committee strongly recommends that Mark Coolidge be part of the
process on those agreed upon procedures which should cover both the scope and procedures.
3. The audit process should have a stated deadline.
Motion Passage: Votes 5-0
