The Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) will review its budget and monitoring process for the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program to ensure grant funds are prioritized for spending in accordance with the program requirements. Monthly expenditure reports will be reviewed by the Director of Homeless Prevention Policy & Planning to assess spending progress and to follow up on any delays in vouchering by subrecipients. Specifically: 1. The Director will review monthly expenditure reports provided by the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Finance team by the 10th of each month for all ESG grant awards. 2. The Homeless Services Division will send notices to agencies with expenditures below contracted expenditure expectations on ESG awards on at least a quarterly basis. The notice will include the current expenditure rate, a reminder on expectations to voucher on a monthly basis within 15 calendar days of the end of the month, and a request for the agency’s plan to improve expenditure rates in line with contract expectations, which are as follows: a. First quarter 25% b. Second quarter 50% c. Third quarter 75% d. Fourth quarter 100% 3. Any unspent ESG funds in the first 12 months of the grant will be reallocated in the second 12 months of the grant to maximize expenditures. Director of Homeless Prevention Policy & Planning Howard at the Department of Family and Support Services will be responsible for ensuring the implementation of this corrective action plan by December 31, 2025. The Voucher Audit and Tracking Unit (VATS) within the Department of Finance, Grant and Project Accounting Division will closely monitor the daily report of accumulated subrecipient (delegate agency) vouchers and prioritize aged vouchers. The goal is to issue payment for aged subrecipient vouchers within 15 calendar days. If the supporting documentation for the vouchers is incomplete or requires additional follow-up information, VATS will hold the vouchers for 2 business days pending the additional supporting documentation/information from the delegate agency. If the supporting documentation is not received within 2 business days, then VATS will reject the vouchers and provide an explanation for the rejection. The delegate agency will be allowed to re-submit the voucher(s) with the required supporting documentation. Chief Voucher Expediters Mendez and Vargas at the Department of Finance, Grant and Project Accounting Division, Voucher Audit and Tracking Systems (VATS) Unit will be responsible for ensuring timely payments to subrecipients and for the implementation of this corrective action plan by July 31, 2025.

The Organization acknowledges the finding. This was an isolated clerical error made by the staff responsible for preparing the reimbursement documentation. Although an employee already fully allocated to other programs was mistakenly included in the claim, the Organization had sufficient allowable personnel expenses from other staff who were not fully allocated to federal programs. These resources could have been properly used to support the claim. Program operations continued without disruption and were not affected in any way, as there were adequate personnel costs available to sustain the program throughout the period. To prevent recurrence, the Organization is reviewing and strengthening its internal review procedures related to grant allocations and payroll backup. Additional training and oversight will be provided to ensure that future claims are accurately supported by allowable personnel costs.

Management acknowledges that the City’s audit package and Data Collection Form were not submitted timely to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe in accordance with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.512). We understand the importance of timely submission in maintaining compliance with federal grant requirements and ensuring continued eligibility for federal funding. The delay was due to new ERP system conversion and staffing shortages. We will re-evaluate our current processes and ensure that all deadlines associated with the Single Audit process are clearly documented and monitored. We will conduct internal reviews after each year-end closing to ensure audit-related deadlines are met and updates will be provided to senior leadership as needed. We will strengthen internal controls and improve communication with our auditors to avoid future delays in submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Anticipated Completion Date: 7/31/2025 Person Responsible: Diana Gomez, Finance Director

2024-002 - Lack of Independent Review and Approval of Reporting Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During our audit procedures over the County's reporting process, we noted that none of the quarterly program and financial reports selected for testing included documentation that they were subjected to an independent review and approval prior to submission in order to detect and correct potential errors or omissions. As a result of this condition, the County was exposed to an increased risk that the reports filed could contain errors and not be detected and corrected on a timely basis. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the County establish procedures to ensure that all reports are subject to review and approval by an independent employee prior to submission, and that the review and approval is adequately documented. Corrective Action: The County’s grant policy #241 requires review and approval of grant financial and programmatic reporting. Management will ensure fiscal and program managers countywide have procedures in place to complete and document these independent reviews. Responsible Person: Megan Banning, Assistant County Administrator Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025

Corrective Action Plan for Current Year Findings 2024-001 - Internal Control over Payroll Major Program: AL#93.569 - Community Service Block Grant Corrective Action Plan DONNA M. KELLEY, LCSW President & CEO Waldo CAP was finally able to hire an additional Human Resources staff member in May of 2025, who will complement our current payroll review process by adding a second layer to ensure not only the accuracy of the Wage Change of Status form (among other enhanced review duties) but to also ensure the completeness of the form including required signatures.

Finding: Allowable Activities & Allowable Costs and Eligibility (Reference Number: 2024-001) Criteria or Specific Requirement: Funds may be expended for foster care maintenance payments on behalf of eligible children, in accordance with the Title IV-E agency’s foster care maintenance payment rate schedule and in accordance with 45 CFR section 1356.21, to individuals serving as foster family homes, to childcare institutions, or public/private child-placement or child-care agencies. In accordance with Code of Colorado Regulations (CCR) section 7.302.2, for each child, Jefferson County Human Services (JCHS) must have an agreement with the provider which details the daily maintenance payments. JCHS agreement to purchase services must be signed by the provider and JCHS. Additionally, in accordance with CCR section 7.301.3, the Family Services Plan shall be reviewed in conference with the caseworker and supervisor every 90 calendar days. Condition: • Two instances out of 40 where there was no signed agreement in place to support revised maintenance payments following a child’s 9th birthday. The correct maintenance amount was paid to the provider in accordance with the State of Colorado rates published in IM-CW–2024-0028 and IM-CW-2023-0021. • One instance out of 40 where the required 90-day review was not completed on time. The review was conducted 15 days late. Cause: The state's Foster Care system did not automatically generate a notice that a new agreement to purchase services was needed based on the child's birthday. Additionally, JCHS lacks an effective control mechanism to proactively identify when a 90-day review is approaching or overdue. Corrective Action Plan: We agree with the finding. The Integrated Case Management System (ICM) is designed to generate an email notification to Collaborative Foster Care Program (CFCP) staff when a child turns 9 or 14 years of age while in foster care. This email notification instructs CFCP staff to generate a new Child Specific Addendum (SS23-B) due to the increase of the child maintenance rate. This email instructs and standard procedure requires CFCP staff to verify the child maintenance rate in Trails after an SS23-B is generated. The IT Systems Support Team responsible for the maintenance of ICM determined that ICM has failed to notify CFCP staff when a child turned 9 or 14 years of age while in foster care: • The IT Systems Support Team responsible for the maintenance of ICM has been asked to ensure that ICM is generating an email notification when a child turns 9 or 14 years of age while in foster care. • While this issue is being addressed in ICM, the CFCP requested a report that included the birthdays for all children in foster care. CFCP staff have generated new Child Specific Addendums (SS23-B) for children that have turned 9 or 14 years old while in foster care. CFCP staff will utilize this report to generate new Child Specific Addendums for future birthdays. • After a new Child Specific Addendum is generated, staff will verify the child maintenance rate in Trails. • The CFCP has determined that it can no longer rely on ICM and has decided to migrate its functionality over to the ancillary system supported by Jefferson County known as the Caseworker Application Timesaver (CAT). With this migration, the email notifications will resume so that CFCP staff are properly notified of the need to generate the new SS23-B and verify the child maintenance rate. • Migration is scheduled to occur on Friday, June 20, 2025. • On Monday, June 23, 2025, the CFCP will meet with the Jefferson County Application Program Analyst to ensure the migration was successful. • Additionally, the CFCP and the Jefferson County Application Program Analyst have scheduled a second meeting for July 9, 2025, to ensure the successful migration from ICM to CAT. • To ensure 90-Day Reviews are completed timely, the Division of Children, Youth, Families, and Adult Protection (CYFAP) will continue to utilize the 90-Day Review compliance feature of CAT. Additionally, CYFAP leadership will emphasize this requirement with supervisors and casework staff and ensure their compliance.

Beginning in December 2024, as a commitment to strengthen our processes and ensure that all physical timesheets related to FEMA-declared disaster events are properly maintained and readily accessible, management put a process in place to enhance procedures and controls for timesheets going forward to ensure full compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements. This process was successfully implemented as of this date and for prospective periods. However, this process does not remedy the issue noted in the finding which relates to time worked from 2020-2022, which is before the process was in place. Therefore, the finding is repeated from the prior year. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed
