CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE City of Cheney January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the City for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The City lacked adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements. Name, address, and telephone of City contact person: Cindy Niemeier, Finance Director 609 2nd Street Cheney, WA 99004 (509) 498-9215 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The City of Cheney places a high priority to comply with all federal funding requirements and contract with legal and reputable contractors. The intent of the ARPA program SLFRF funds was to receive and disburse the funds into the community for aid and infrastructure projects in response to the COVID pandemic. The City’s received funds under the $10,000,000 threshold allowing the City to use the funds for a variety of purposes including water infrastructure and programs allowing citizens to conduct business with the City on a remote basis. Historically, federal funds have been received for use in Public Work projects where the Suspension and Debarment check is completed by our contracted engineers. Although the required check was completed, there was no policy or process to retain documentation. The software purchases were made under an existing contract with the software provider that is currently in good standing to receive federal funds, although no separate contract with the required suspension and debarment clause was issued. To comply with the required documentation, all 2022 contracts using SLFRF funds have now been verified as eligible to receive federal funds and all future contracts will now include the required federal suspension and disbarment clause. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: September 26, 2023

2021-001 Segregation of Duties – Loan Program Significant Deficiency Recommendation: The Housing Authority’s fiscal policies should be revised to ensure that preventive controls are in place over check disbursements for loan disbursements, such that checks must be signed with live signatures at least the signature of one Tribal Council member.

Action Taken: The SCCHA discontinued the Loan Program as of November 2019. A complete list of balances owed has been submitted to the Tribal Council with the outstanding balances of those whom had signatory authority forwarded to the St. Croix Tribal Court for further repayment actions.

Corrective Action for Condition 1: The MCD has been sending notices to borrowers as a reminder to update or renew their homeowner insurance policy. We have created a monitoring spreadsheet to ensure that the insurance policies are being updated and that notices to homeowners are being sent to remind them of their insurance status. Moving forward, we will be sending out demand notices to those listed accounts that were affected. Corrective Action for Condition 2: This loan account is noted and being monitored to ensure that future policy coverage accurately reflects the loan amount as cited. Corrective Action for Condition 3: Property insurance coverage for HP-367, HNC-403 and HNC-534 were subsequently renewed on 4/28/2022, 8/30/2022 and 11/16/2021, respectively. MCD will ensure that these account policies are being monitored for subsequent updates and renewals. Corrective Action for Condition 4: MCD will ensure moving forward that these accounts are carefully monitored and in compliance with required annual recertifications. Corrective Action for Condition 5: The two loan accounts, HL-178 and HL-196 were underwritten twenty years ago; therefore, corrective action regarding these two accounts would not be applicable. MCD verified and confirmed that the required document was not in the respective files. It is also possible the document was received but might have been misplaced or got lost in the process. Corrective Action for Condition 6: MCD will be unable to perform any corrective action to obtain such document as account is nearly twenty years old. It should be noted that the account has been referred for collection. Corrective Action for Condition 7: MCD will be unable to perform any corrective action to obtain such document as nearly twenty years has lapsed (possible misfiling or misplaced).
