The Grants Administrator will be more involved in communicating with the Finance Department, at a minimum on a monthly basis, as related to reporting of expenditures that are being funded by federal, state, and local awards.

Compliance Finding Funds were embezzled from the City using fictitious vendors established by the City employees who were managing the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) program. The invoices for the fictitious vendors were charged to a line item designated for the CRF program. The grant reporting to the State for the CRF program was performed by the Finance Director and not by the Grant Coordinator Department. The original reporting of the specific disbursements for the program included the invoices for the fictitious vendors. The reporting was subsequently revised to remove the fraudulent invoices. Beginning in Fiscal 2023, several policies and procedures were implemented over Grants and all other spending to reduce the risk of embezzlement. These policies include the Vendor Approval process including segregation of duties, the Debarment Check process (federal grant specific), and Finance Director and Treasurer invoice review prior to check printing. All elements were fully implemented in Fiscal 2024.
