Summary Fact Sheet Mayor’s Chief of Staff Kerri Stewart
answered questions from Council Member Boyer about the affordable housing
needs prioritization process and City Council’s role in that process. Ms.
Stewart stated that this bill does not establish the priorities, but only
permissible uses that will later be refined to funded priorities via future
legislation. Council Members requested revisions to the current process to
incorporate more City Council and general public input on preferences and
priorities much earlier in the grant application process. Council Member
Boyer moved and then withdrew an amendment to attach a listing of program
priorities. APPROVE

2ND AND REREFER
At the conclusion of the agenda Chairman Gulliford discussed the on-going forensic audit of the Police and Fire Pension Fund, stating that the process had begun very slowly but was beginning to pick up pace. Finance Director Mike Weinstein has been appointed as the City’s point person for the project. He reported that the work is being slowed by the fact that the PFPF’s records are not available electronically and the manual searching and compilation is very laborious and time consuming. Council Auditor Kirk Sherman reminded the committee that the project is an investigation, not an audit as defined by governmental auditing standards. Mr. Weinstein offered to provide a report to the Finance Committee members in the next few days about what payments have been released to the investigator to date and about a potential timeline for project completion.
Mr. Sherman answered questions from committee members about his office’s recently released audit of the Clerk of the Courts office, particularly several items that remain open and unresolved from the last audit of that office in 2010. Remaining unresolved is a disagreement over allocation of and non-payment of internal service charge billings for information technology services. Mr. Weinstein described a very convoluted situation in which the City and the former Clerk of the Courts reached an impasse in negotiations over the nature and amount of IT services being provided by the City to the Clerk and the Clerk voided the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the two entities and stopped paying for IT services, leaving that internal service fund with a negative cash balance and accruing negative interest charges as the City’s General Fund made the fund whole for the missing revenue. Mr. Weinstein is exploring possible avenues for resolution.
