The Organization acknowledges the identified gap and concurs with the finding. The issue occurred due to personnel costs for certain employees being allocated based on a budgeted full-time equivalent basis without subsequent reconciliation to time and effort records. All costs have been determined as allowable costs, and the finding is a result of administrative challenges. Steps have already been taken to begin addressing the issue. Grant Accounting and Human Resources will implement a time and effort certification process signed by employee and supervisor. This new process will be rolled out during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 with training provided to relevant personnel. The indirect cost employees working on various grants will certify their time allocation on a periodic basis and provide revised allocations for the upcoming period. These updates processes, communication and training will provide a demonstration of the remediation of this finding during fiscal year 2026.

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.

The City-Parish transitioned the administration of the BRIGHT grant in the first quarter of 2025; therefore, we are unable to obtain some supporting documentation. The City-Parish provided documentation that a change in the project plan/scope from running five trauma centers to a variety of services based on needs and accessibility as opposed to confining them to centers was approved by the grantor agency through the programmatic reports which allowed expenses for gathering events, fitness camps, and activities for the Summer of Hope.

The City-Parish acknowledges that the development has not progressed in accordance with the schedule outlined in the original loan agreement with the developer for the Scotlandville Housing Development. At the time of the 2023 disbursement, documentation provided by the developer supported project readiness and anticipated completion timelines; however, subsequent review and monitoring activities identified delays tied to financing, site control, and design completion. At present, the administration is evaluating if it wants to proceed with the project and what contract amendments would be stipulated. The Office of Community Development, working alongside its grant management consultant CSRS, recently initiated a detailed review of the project status and supporting documentation. This review culminated in the identification of potential deficiencies, including unresolved site control issues and the need for updated construction plans. An updated site plan, ownership verification, environmental remediation documentation, and full construction package are being actively pursued, and the developer has been provided a prioritized list of immediate action items to remedy outstanding issues if the project is going to proceed. To bring the project and agreement into compliance, the corrective actions noted below are actively being pursued. These corrective actions are intended to either return the project to a viable status under the existing agreement or establish the necessary conditions to invoke appropriate default provisions should remediation fail. These corrective actions include: Formal reassessment of project viability with CSRS, OCD, and project leadership, including a meeting scheduled for the week of July 1, 2025; Issuance of a formal notice to the developer requesting documentation of progress and corrective actions related to site control, tax clearance, design completion, and permitting; Evaluation of amendment or enforcement actions under the agreement, including potential restructuring of the loan timeline or initiating default proceedings if satisfactory progress is not demonstrated by mid-Q3 2025; Preparation of an updated commitment letter from the current administration to support the developer’s financial closing, contingent on demonstrated progress and documentation clearance, if the administration chooses to move forward with the project.

The Purchasing Director for the City-Parish has the authority as provided by the Code of Ordinances to approve emergency purchases upon review of the certification of the emergency by the user department. At the beginning of 2024, the Baton Rouge Police Department noted its patrol units were in less than standard conditions and a recent Police Academy graduating class of sworn officers compounded the need for viable units. At the same time, a nationwide supply chain crisis limited the availability of vehicles for purchase. Multiple quote requests from vendors across Louisiana confirmed a lack of available inventory including the Louisiana State Contract vendor as well as a piggyback contract for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. After an exhaustive search, a single vendor was located who had an inventory of matching vehicles on hand for offer within a limited time frame. In an effort to not compromise public safety, an emergency purchase was utilized which was signed by both the Police Chief and the Purchasing Director. As required, notice was given by publishing in the newspaper. Expected Implementation Date: June 2025 Contact person: Philip Gore, Interim Director, Purchasing Division

The amendment in question did not constitute a material change in the scope, nature, or intent of the original procurement. The additional funding awarded was consistent with the original services solicited and did not involve new activities or substantially alter the deliverables or performance standards initially procured. As such, the amendment fell within the bounds of the original competitive process and was not required to be procured. The City-Parish procurement policy allows for amendments when they do not exceed the original scope of work or introduce fundamentally different services. The amendment was processed with full documentation of cost reasonableness, continued eligibility under the applicable grant program and internal approval. Therefore, we assert that the contract amendment was executed in accordance with both HUD and local procurement requirements and no formal procurement was necessary. To strengthen internal controls and ensure full alignment with federal procurement requirements, the OCD will document and reinforce internal procedures outlining when procurement is or is not required for amendments within the original scope. Procurement training is ongoing. The OCD staff will conduct refresher training with procurement and program personnel on contract amendment procedures and documentation requirements. Expected Implementation Date: August 2025 Contact person: Kelly LeDuff, Urban Development Director, Office of Community Development
