The City will implement the following corrective actions to ensure timely compliance with all grant requirements: 1. Grant Compliance Tracking • The City will establish a formal, centralized tracking system for all active grants and associated compliance deadlines, including award package submittals. • Grant requirements will be reviewed on a weekly basis as part of an established internal coordination meeting. • Submission deadlines (including the 60-day award package requirement) will be tracked and monitored proactively. 2. Integration into Existing City Processes • Since contract award actions are already tracked through established internal coordination meetings, staff will incorporate post-award compliance milestones into this workflow. • This ensures continuity between award approval and required grant documentation submittals. 3. Implementation of Grant Management Software • The City is implementing a grant management system through Euna Solutions (formerly AmpliFund) to strengthen compliance and oversight. • This system will: • Centralize grant information and documentation • Track deadlines, requirements, and deliverables in one platform • Provide automated reminders and notifications for key dates • Maintain audit-ready records and reporting • As described by the platform, grant management software helps "centralize and streamline the entire grant lifecycle...ensuring compliance" and provides "automatic notifications to remind you of key dates and deadlines" while improving transparency and accountability. • The system also enables real-time visibility into grant requirements, deadlines, and progress, helping agencies "track compliance requirements... and provide complete audit trails" to reduce risk of future findings. 4. Enhanced Accountability and Oversight • Responsibility for tracking and submitting award packages will be clearly assigned to designated staff, identified as the Senior Civil Engineer in the Capital Improvement Program assigned to the project. • Supervisory review will be incorporated into the weekly tracking process to ensure accountability. Expected Outcome These corrective actions will: • Ensure all award packages and grant deliverables are submitted within required timeframes • Improve internal coordination and accountability • Reduce administrative risk and prevent recurrence of audit findings • Enhance overall grant compliance through centralized tracking and automated reminders Anticipated Completion Date: • Weekly tracking procedures: Implemented immediately • Integration into City processes: Implemented immediately • Grant management software (Euna Solutions): Implementation underway, full integration estimated by January 31, 2027
