Finding 1179405 (2025-001)

Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Aiport Programs; We recommend that the City establish a tracking system to monitor all required reports and their due dates to ensure timely submission. Management's Response: City of Red Bluff contracts out airport grant compliance to a third-party contractor. The scope of services in that contract end at the completion and submittal of the grant closeout documents. Delays in the Federal Government review and comment of grant closeout documents have left a period where the final closeout documents have been submitted but the grant is not closed. In the period when the final closeout documents have been submitted but the grant was not closed, the City was required to submit annual SF-425 reporting package and will continue to be required to file the annual SF-425 reporting package until the Federal Government can process the closeout documents. This period was erroneously left out of the scope of services for the third-party contractor grant compliance, and the City failed to submit the proper reports.; Responsible Individual: Scott Miller, Public Works Director; Corrective Action Plan: The City will add to the scope of services template language to add compliance period of between submittal of the grant closeout documents and acceptance of those documents. The City will then monitor the contract for these new services. The City will also file the missing SF-425 forms.; Anticipated Completion Date: 4-30-2026
