NOTE:  The next regular meeting will be held November 2, 2016


 

At the beginning of the meeting Council Auditor Kirk Sherman gave an overview of his office’s report #785 – Council Auditor’s Office Annual Report. Mr. Sherman reported that 40% of his staff’s time is devoted to audits, with the remainder divided between supporting the Council’s legislative function (3 staff members assigned full-time to the Council) and performing special investigations and audits as requested by the Council. Another function of the Council Auditor’s Office is to be the liaison to the City’s independent auditor. The City is entering the second year of its 3-year contract with Carr, Riggs and Ingram and is very happy with the work the firm performed in its first year audit. The Council Auditor supplies 600 working hours of CAO staff time to support the independent audit, along with contributing 160 hours of staff time Ernst and Young during its performance of the JEA’s independent audit. Mr. Sherman reported that in the last fiscal year his office completed 11 special reports upon request. The office also oversees required federal grant audits/reports. Follow-ups to completed audits are performed within 18 - 24 months after audit release to measure compliance; sometimes achieving full or nearly full compliance takes a number of years. The Council Auditor’s Office has 18 accountants (13 of whom are CPAs) and 1 administrative staffer. The accountants must complete 80 hours of continuing education every two years. The CAO is also subject peer review every 3 years by other government auditing professionals and the last review produced a superior rating.

 

Council Member Gulliford suggested that the Council needs to pay greater attention to the findings of the CAO’s audit reports and follow up on the progress of implementing the recommendations. Chairwoman Brosche noted that the Council Auditor has been making presentations on all the audits/reports to the Finance Committee at the next meeting after they are released. In response to a question from the Chair, Mr. Sherman said that his staff has a list of potential audit subjects and chooses its work program each year by a combination of a risk assessment (what City functions have the most potential for fraud or malfeasance and the greatest risk of losses) and determining what routine functions have not been audited in the longest time and therefore deserve a fresh look.

Chairwoman Brosche announced that there would be no Special Committee meeting today, and that Council Member Schellenberg is developing the special meeting topic for the next cycle.

Council Member Gulliford informed the committee that he is developing emergency legislation to provide funding for sand dune restoration at the beaches to repair the damage done by Hurricane Matthew. The quickest and most efficient way to do that is to expand the contract of the beach renourishment contractor already at work on the beach to include pumping additional sand onto the dunes. An initial cost estimate is $6 million for the sand and $1 million for planting vegetation (sea oats). Unfortunately the project needs to be approved and funded as an emergency because the renourishment contractor is moving very quickly and will be done with the beach portion of the project in fairly short order. The cost to re-mobilize this or another contractor once they leave the scene for another job is estimated at $4 million. The ordinance will authorize the administration to borrow the $7 million to get the job done immediately by the current contractor, with the hope that the federal government and/or the state may reimburse the City for some portion of the cost at a later date.
