COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
The City's annual financial statement audit includes a federally mandated "Single Audit", which is designed to meet the special reporting requirements of federal granting agencies. These include the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (formerly OMB A-133), which are found in Title 2 CFR Part 200. Title 2 CFR Part 200 establishes uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for Federal awards to non-Federal entities. The Single Audit rules require that an independent audit be completed on the fair presentation of the financial statements and internal controls for compliance with the administrative requirements of federal awards for agencies with more than $750,000 of federal grant expenditures in a fiscal year. Since the City met this $750,000 threshold, the City hired Maze & Associates to conduct the audit. The Single Audit report is attached.
On March 17, 2025, City staff and Maze & Associates met with the City Council Audit Committee (Committee), which included Committee members Hardy, Gonzalez and Chahal. During the Committee meeting, Maze & Associates gave a presentation about the audit process, scope of work, and their auditor's opinion. City staff and Maze & Associates answered questions from Committee members.
The Committee unanimously accepted the Single Audit Report presented at the Committee meeting and recommended that the City Council note and file the report at the Mach 25, 2025 City Council meeting. After the City Council meeting, the Single Audit Report will be published on the City's website.
