Effect: The City did not submit eleven of the required reports by December. The reports were submitted in January of the subsequent year. Cause: Management oversight.

We will implement procedures to strengthen controls over the City’s reporting for grants as they relate to the Airport Improvement Program.
Criteria: Recipients are required to submit quarterly Cash on Hand reports within thirty days of the quarter end.

Condition: All four quarterly Cash on Hand reports were not submitted by the deadline as designated in the grant agreements. Additionally, none of the CARES Act quarterly reports were submitted during the fiscal year.
