BACKGROUND
On November 27, 2017, staff presented (1) standard audit recommendation tracking matrix listing the thirty-seven audit recommendations, (2) designation for the status of the recommendation (e.g., Complete, Partially Complete, or Not Implemented), and (3) action taken so far to the Ad-Hoc Stadium Audit Committee (Committee). As stated at that time, this matrix will be used as a tool to demonstrate staff's progress going forward and will continue to be presented to the Committee at future meetings.

The following table reflects staff's previous and current progress towards implementing the thirty-seven audit recommendations:

As background, the steps for moving forward were proposed as follows:
