Audit office presents ambitious 2026-27 plan; committee gives consensus approval

Jed Johnson presented the internal-audit office's proposed plan of work for the coming year, describing a broad program that includes audits of CARE ATC contract compliance, street reconstruction program efficiency, short-term multifamily lodging permits, court fines and fees, Workday post-implementation controls, payroll and building-permit processes.

Committee members discussed the sequencing of audits and workload concerns for a small audit office; one member asked that building-inspection audit work be placed toward the end of the calendar because management is undergoing training and software changes. Chair Ed Moore asked for concurrence and the committee provided consensus to move forward; Jed said the office will brief the full council the next Monday. No formal roll-call vote was required; the committee treated the approval as a consensus action.
