Corrective action planned: During the audit review, questions were raised regarding compensatory and personal leave balances. Management notes that the amounts identified were processed through the Authority’s payroll system (ADP) and supported by existing leave balances, board-approval policy changes, and documented role assignments. The Executive Director held acting, assistant, deputy, and executive leadership roles during the periods referenced, as documented by personnel status forms and Board actions. These roles include on-call and after-hours responsibilities impacting availability and leave usage. Management’s review identified that leave balances were influenced by payroll system configuration, transitions to PTO approved by the Board, and subsequent board-approved leave adjustments. Upon identification of discrepancies, records were corrected where appropriate. Management will coordinate with the Authority’s payroll provider (ADP) to review system configuration and ensure leave balances carry forward accurately in accordance with approved policy, further strengthening internal controls and documentation consistency. In addition, management is undertaking a broader review of personnel policies and procedures. Management anticipates presenting proposed updates to the Board of Commissioners, including elimination of compensatory time for executive-level staff and clarification of compensation and availability expectations to improve administrative clarity going forward. Management believes these actions will strengthen internal controls, enhance transparency, and reduce the risk of future misinterpretation of leave and compensation practices. Contact person: Amanda Koehn, Executive Director. Anticipated completion date: Management anticipates completion of corrective actions by February 18, 2026, including implementation of payroll system review with ADP and Board approval of policy revisions eliminating comp time. Final written policy updates through Nelrod are anticipated to be completed no later than March 31, 2026, subject to vendor processing timelines.
