- REQUEST '.,.bR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The City Attorney through public statements and a letter to the
Grand Jury, has requested an investigation on the basis that change
orders approved by the Council at recent meetings, have been
tainted with improprieties. Unfortunately, the Grand Jury, having
just reconvened with new membership, is unable to attend to this
investigation for several months. Even if it could be completed in
a timely manner, the investigation would be performed on a
confidential basis.
Allegations of misuse of taxpayers funds must be addressed
expediently and in the light of day. For the best interest of all
concerned, I am requesting that the Council formally authorize an
audit of change orders. The audit would cover all change orders
approved by the Council in the last twelve months and would be
performed by a reputable CPA firm.
If the Council wishes to extend the scope of this audit to include
all change orders approved by the Council over the last three (3)
years, I have no objection.
