Description/Analysis

IssueDetail

Issue Detail: The mission of the Office of the City Auditor is to provide a catalyst for improvements of municipal operations, promote credible, efficient, effective, fair, focused, transparent, and a fully accountable City Government. The Office of the City auditor conducts performance audits, research, analysis projects, and is responsible for managing the City’s Whistleblower Hotline. City Code Section 2.18.030 requires that the City Auditor submit an annual work plan to the City Council for approval. This report sets forth the City Auditor’s Annual Work Plan for FY2024/25.

 

The proposed work plan includes an audit of the Recycling and Solid Waste Division. The work plan would require funding of approximately $150,000-$250,000 from the Solid Waste Fund in order to contract with a third-party vendor to perform this audit.

 

•                     The Recycling and Solid Waste Division is responsible for recycling and refuse collection, yard waste collection, household hazardous waste collection, household junk pickup, street sweeping, illegal dumping cleanup, and landfill post-closure maintenance and monitoring. One-time funding for the Recycling and Solid Waste Division Audit would allow us to contract with a third-party vendor, managed by our office, to complete this audit.
