Finding 2024-007: Reporting – Significant Deficiency over Internal Control over Reporting Assistance Listing Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Finding: Per 2 CFR 200.303, recipients are required to establish, document, and maintain effective internal controls that provide reasonable assurance of compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and award terms. These controls should align with GAO's Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government and COSO's Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Condition: The City did not maintain documentation supporting the internal control process over the submission of required quarterly reports during fiscal year 2024. Corrective Actions Taken: 1. Establishment of Formal Reporting Controls: The City has developed and implemented a standardized procedure for the preparation, review, and submission of all quarterly reports related to federal awards, including a designated checklist and approval workflow to ensure compliance with reporting deadlines and content accuracy. 2. Documentation and Retention Protocols: All steps in the reporting process are now formally documented, including preparer and reviewer signoffs. Supporting documentation is retained in a centralized location accessible to relevant staff and auditors for verification purposes. 3. Internal Review and Oversight: The Office of Management, Policy, and Grants has assigned responsibility to the Grant Management Team for conducting secondary reviews of quarterly report submissions. This includes validating that internal controls have been followed, and evidence of compliance is documented. 4. Staff Training: Staff involved in federal reporting have received training on the internal control requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.303, COSO, and GAO Green Book standards to reinforce the importance of documentation and control procedures. 5. Monitoring and Compliance Checks: A quarterly compliance checklist and review process have been instituted to ensure ongoing adherence to federal internal control requirements. Noncompliance will be flagged and reviewed with senior leadership. Contact: Shannon McCue, Director of Management, Policy, and Grant Anticipated Completion Date: January 2026

Finding 2024-003: Material Weakness and Noncompliance Finding- Procurement and Suspension, and Debarment - Verification Against the System for Award Management (SAM) Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, (Uniform Guidance) requires compliance with provisions of procurement, suspension, and debarment. While the City has a formal policy requiring the purchasing department to perform verification of suspension or debarment over vendors that the City makes contracts with federally funded projects, it does not maintain formal documentation that this procedure occurred. Corrective Actions Taken: 1. Develop Standard Documentation: Create a standardized verification form or checklist for suspension and debarment checks. Include fields for date, method of verification (e.g., SAM.gov search), name of reviewer, and signature. 2. Integrate into Procurement Workflow: Require completion and attachment of the verification form to all federally funded purchase orders and contracts before approval. Embed verification as a required step in MUNIS or other procurement software workflows, if possible. 3. Staff Training: Provide refresher training for purchasing and finance staff on federal compliance requirements, including suspension and debarment procedures. Emphasize the importance of documentation for audit and compliance purposes. Contact: Malinda Figueroa, Purchasing Director, Anticipated Completion Date: December 2025

Finding 2024-006: Significant Deficiency- Procurement and Suspension, and Debarment - Internal Control over Procurement Documentation Program: Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant Program Finding: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, (Uniform Guidance) requires compliance with provisions of procurement, suspension, and debarment. Non-federal entities must meet the general procurement standards in 2 CFR section 200.318, which include oversight of contractors’ performance, maintaining written standards of conduct for employees involved in contracting, awarding contracts only to responsible contractors, and maintaining records to document the history of procurements. During our audit, we noted that the City did not have the bidding documentation for one of our choices. Corrective Actions Taken: 1. Centralized Compliance Tracking: A comprehensive Grant Policy is in place to provide centralized oversight of grant management, including adherence to procurement procedures. 2. Strengthening Procurement Procedures: The Purchasing Department will provide ongoing training to departments on the City’s procurement processes and document retention policies to ensure consistent compliance.

Finding 2024-004: Material Weakness and Noncompliance Finding- Procurement and Suspension, and Debarment - Verification Against the System for Award Management (SAM) Program: Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant Program Finding: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, (Uniform Guidance) requires compliance with provisions of procurement, suspension, and debarment. Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. When a non-federal entity enters a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier, the non-federal entity must verify that the entity, as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995 and agency adopting regulations, is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. Without documented evidence verifying whether the City was following its policy, the City could not provide evidence of this control being completed for federally funded projects. There were no standard forms or templates that were used to document verification that parties are not suspended or debarred. Corrective Actions Taken: 1. Establish Documentation Protocols: The City is implementing standard templates and procedures for verifying suspension and debarment status, including documentation requirements. 2. System Integration and Workflow Updates: These procedures will be integrated into procurement workflows and reviewed regularly to ensure consistency across all federally funded contracts. 3. Monitoring and Oversight: A designated staff member will perform periodic reviews to confirm verification procedures are being followed and properly documented.

Finding 2024-002: Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Finding, Reporting-Annual Program: Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant Program Finding: Under the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant Program Terms and Conditions issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Cities were required to submit an annual race and ethnic data reporting form HUD-27061 covering the period from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, by January 10, 2024.

The Office of Management, Policy, and Grants is establishing a Grant Management Team to conduct a secondary review of all reporting-related entries and ensure timely submissions.
