Management's  Response - The City recognizes that the requirement of providing the identifying assistance listing number was not provided on certain ARPA contracts awarded through the Department of Recreation and Human Services. It is the City's practice to include this information in all contracts where federal funds are awarded. In November of 2024 when it was identified that there were a number of subrecipients that had not been notified of this required information, the Department of Recreation and Humans Services emailed all subrecipients who had not previously been provided this information. In order to prevent this requirement from being overlooked in the future, the Law Department has also been informed of this requirement. The Law Department is in the approval process for all contracts and will not provide their approval until this requirement is met.

Contact information for the individual responsible for the corrective action: Daniel Brungardt, Superintendent Clinton School District #124 Independent Public Accounting Firm: Gerding, Korte & Chitwood, P.C., 723 Main Street, Boonville, MO 65233 Audit Period: Year ended June 30, 2024 The findings from the June 30, 2024, Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Significant Deficiency 2024-001 Child Nutrition Cluster Recommendation: We recommend that fund balances should be monitored to ensure that balances remain in line with child nutrition compliance requirements. Action Taken: Over the last five years, the school district's fund increased due to securing a contract at a low initial rate, while also benefiting from higher reimbursement rates and increased participation. This year, the district will once again go through the rebid process, and the estimated increase in costs is expected to range from 10% to 15%. This increase will likely surpass the amount the district receives in reimbursements, leading to a budget deficit. Additionally, student participation in the lunch program has declined over the years.

The district will reduce the fund based on the following: Increased Contract Costs: District administration believes that through the rebid process and the new contract, the district will achieve at least a 10% reduction in contract costs. Indirect Costs: The school district has not been claiming indirect costs as part of its food service allocation in the past. However, beginning next year, the district will start including indirect costs in its food service budget. This change will help ensure that the full scope of expenses associated with operating the food service program is accounted for, providing a more accurate reflection of the program’s financial needs New Equipment: The district operates four kitchens, with only one having received upgrades in the past 10 years. A list of necessary equipment upgrades has been compiled. Below is a forecast of additional costs for the next three years, along with the equipment that will be purchased that will reduce the food service budget by $940.874.48
