Description
Minneapolis Audit Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Good
morning
today
is
February
3rd
2020.
My
name
is
Lenny
Palmisano
and
I
chair
this
committee.
This
is
the
regular
committee
of
independent
of
art.
This
is
our
regular
audit
committee
and
this
is
an
independent
committee
of
Council.
There
are
some
new
faces
up
here
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
explain
as
we
go
through
our
agenda
here
and
just
a
lot
of
other
details
to
take
care
of
today.
So
with
me
here
at
the
dais,
our
Commissioner
music,
ms
Johnston
mr.
Fischer
councilmember
Warsaw
Mian,
councilmember
Schrader.
We.
A
Of
this
committee
and
we're
authorized
to
do
the
audit
committees
business
first
colleagues
I
moved
to
adopt
the
agenda.
The
agenda-
that's
before
you,
I
may
take
it
in
a
different
order.
Just
for
sake
of
clarity,
for
example,
I
think
I'm
going
to
do
the
report
of
the
internal
auditor
before
the
sexual
assault.
Examination
kits
audit,
because
it
will
help
explain
how
we
embarked
on
this
together
with
the
police
department.
But
the
agenda
formally
is
before
you
can
I
I
move
this
agenda
do
I
have
a
second.
A
C
A
It
will
also
note
that
there's
a
report
online
that
is
a
recorded
informal
meeting
from
January
13th
of
this
year.
There
were
no
formal
actions
taken
because
we
did
not
have
quorum,
but
there
were
presentations
given
on
several
of
these
items
and
some
of
the
things
before
you
in
the
2019
plan,
we're
discussed
at
length.
A
Let's
see
first,
our
announcements
and
I
wanted
to
introduce
the
new
members
of
our
Audit
Committee
and
just
explain
how
we
all
got
up
here.
First,
is
that
every
two
years
there
is
an
opportunity
for
reshuffling
audit
committee
members.
That
did
not
happen
on
the
city
council
side.
President
ender
continues
to
appoint
myself
as
chair
and
Jeremy
Schrader
and
Abdul
Waris
ami,
as
are
my
other
council
member
colleagues
on
this
board.
A
We
also
have
our
City
Council
appointed
new
member
Heather
Johnston,
who
comes
to
us
well
at
one
point
in
time
she
was
our
the
head
of
our
budget
department
at
the
city.
She
also
has
been
the
city
manager
of
Burnsville
Minnesota
and
she
just
comes
with
a
wealth
of
experience.
She
will.
She
ends
up
replacing
mr.
Scott
Neil
city
manager
of
Edina,
who
termed
off,
for
he
could
not
sign
up
for
another
term
for
audit
committee.
We
continue
to
have
mr.
A
Fischer
from
the
University
of
Minnesota
law,
school
and
many
other
community
focused
ventures
in
our
city
as
the
mayor's
appointment,
and
we
have
Commission
Commissioner
Stephanie
Mew
such
as
our
Park
Board
appointee.
So
that's
terrific.
Also
mr.
Fisher
has
offered
to
be
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee.
That
means
should
I
be
absent.
During
an
audit
committee
meeting
you
would
be
helping
to
handle
the
proceedings.
You'll
have
the
clerk
here
to
assist.
A
You
I,
don't
anticipate
that
happening,
but
thank
you
for
all
of
your
advice
and
for
the
chickens
that
we
we
have
informally
next
unfinished
business.
We
do
have
the
performance
evaluation
of
ginger
Big
B,
who,
if
you
have
seen
the
January
13th
note,
it
has
needed
to
transition
her
life
and
actually
is
the
new
auditor
for
the
city
of
Gainesville
Florida.
A
D
A
Those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
The
next
item
is
new
business
and
that's
to
appoint
our
interim
director
of
internal
audit.
I
am
looking
to
approve
the
appointment
of
mr.
Ryan
Patrick
as
our
interim
director
of
audit
effective,
February
3rd.
That's
today,
aye
I
know.
I've
said
this
before
I've
sent
this
out
in
information.
Mr.
Patrick
has
worked
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
for
over
nine
plus
years
he
has
been
working
in
the
civil
rights
department.
He
is
an
active.
A
Member
and
some
rights
person
in
civil
rights,
who
has
done
a
lot
with
our
office
of
police
conduct,
review
our
police
oversight
Commission,
and
he
also
has,
from
time
to
time,
really
worked
closely
with
our
audit
team
to
assist
in
many
different
ways.
I
am
most
comfortable
with
mr.
Patrick's
appointment
during
this
interim
time.
We
are
conducting
a
search
for
a
new
auditor
and
I
am
so
pleased
and
grateful
that
mr.
A
Patrick's
offered
to
take
on
these
responsibilities
in
the
interim,
so
I
will
move
that
appointment
of
interim
director
forward
may
I
have
a
second
all.
Those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
Aye
opposed.
That
item
carries
this
next
item:
item
number
6
and
new
business
I'd
like
to
take
this
action
all
together
unless
members
wish
to
pull
it
apart.
A
These
are
all
of
the
pieces
and
parts
that
we
went
into
great
detail
on
in
January
13th
in
our
informal
conversation,
so
those
items
are
receiving
and
filing
the
automated
license
plate
reader
audit
report
publishing
that
report
receiving
and
filing
the
body
worn
camera
biennial
audit
report.
This
is
the
one
that
goes
to
the
state,
not
our
own,
that
we
do
internally
and
directing
staff
to
publish
that
report
receiving
and
filing
in
the
contract.
A
Amendments
audit
report
and
publishing
that
referring
to
City
Council
recommendation
to
transmit
the
automated
license
plate
reader
audit
report
to
the
appropriate
agency
within
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
referring
to
City
Council
recommendation
to
transmit
the
body,
worn
camera
audit
that
goes
to
the
state
to
the
appropriate
agency.
There
do
any
of
my
colleagues
wish
to
take
this
next
motion
apart.
A
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
your
reviewing
it
online
and
helping
us
to
dispense
with
this
business
that
has
been
completed
for
quite
some
time
and
I'd
like
to
focus
the
majority
of
our
work
today
on
the
things
that
are
kind
of
coming
here
forward.
So
I
will
move.
This
may
I
have
a
second.
Second,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed.
A
E
You,
chair
Palmisano
vice-chair
Fischer
committee
members.
My
name
is
Ryan
Patrick
again
and
as
of
several
minutes
ago,
I'm
serving
as
the
city's
interim
internal
auditor
I'm
going
to
provide
the
brief
auditor
update.
I
know
there
was
an
auditor
update
provided
in
January,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
reintroduce
some
of
the
items
on
there
and
again
preview
the
special
project
that
we'll
be
talking
about
later
in
the
meeting.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
launch
into
the
presentation.
E
So
today
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
special
project,
just
preview
that
we'll
be
talking
about
it
in
detail.
A
bit
later
talk
a
bit
about
the
audit
work
in
progress
and
note
that
the
pendeks
has
the
complete
audit
plan.
The
projects
we
intend
to
work
on
within
the
next
year.
I'll
talk
about
our
continuous
monitoring
efforts,
a
prior
audit
issue,
follow-up
and
if
you
look
at
the
appendix
you'll,
see
that
rolling
audit
plan
so
first
the
special
project
related
to
the
MPD
sexual
assault.
Evidence
kits.
E
So
this
was
a
known
issue
back
in
the
summer
and
I'll
talk
specifically
about
how
we
got
here
during
that
presentation.
But
it
was
a
known
issue
back
in
the
summer,
and
internal
audit
was
asked
to
consult
with
MPD
on
this
project,
specifically
verifying
the
count
of
untested
sexual
assault,
evidence
kits
reviewing
internal
controls
around
kit
handling
and
reviewing
the
plan
to
test
backlog
kits
for
potential
efficiencies.
So
this
kind
of
comes
a
bit
out
of
order
because
we're
talking
about
approving
the
special
consult
at
the
same
time
as
we'll
be
doing
the
presentation.
E
A
I
might
just
jump
in
here.
I
also
want
to
share
that.
It
was
shortly
after
the
last
Audit
Committee
meeting
that
there
was
the
information
that
you
know
was
shared
with
the
public
around
the
sexual
assault
kits,
and
that
started
off
a
lot
of
kind
of
media
back-and-forth
about
how
this
came
to
be,
and
everything
and
I
really
need
to
give
credit
to
the
MPD
here
in
reaching
out
to
the
MPD
saying.
Would
this
be
potentially
something
that
audit
can
help
you
with,
because
deputy
chief
force
who's?
A
Maybe
it
would
be
an
opportunity
to
partner
with
our
internal
audit
team
to
have
them
come
in
and
also
just
to
verify
the
the
amount
of
the
kits,
because
there
was
some
difference
of
opinion
being
bantered
back
and
forth,
and
without
my
going
and
making
that
connection
as
I
often
do
with
some
of
our
different
audits.
Both
the
internal
auditor
and
Deputy
Chief
befores
together
decided
to
get
together
and
have
that
conversation
and
embarked
on
this
shortly
after
those
press
conferences
about
the
sexual
assault,
kit
audits.
So
that's
how
this
came
to
be.
A
E
Clarification
chair,
bonus,
honor,
so
I'll
talk
next
about
our
audit
work
in
progress.
While
we
were
working
on
this
project,
we
have
a
variety
of
other
ones
going
on
and
I
just
wanted.
Instead
of
going
through
the
projects
in
detail,
because
we'll
focus
on
the
special
project,
just
note
for
the
new
members
and
the
committee,
what
projects
we're
currently
working
on
alongside
that
special
project,
so
first
we're
working
on
our
annual
enterprise
risk
assessment.
E
We've
completed
our
city
leadership
risk
risk
assessment,
so
we've
met
with
all
city
leadership,
discussed
what
potential
risks
those
Department
we're
facing
and
we're
in
the
process
of
prioritizing
what
projects
we
may
want
to
add
to
the
audit
plan
throughout
the
next
year.
So
we
intend
to
propose
the
audit
plan
with
updates,
based
on
those
conversations
and
our
own
work
in
the
next
couple
of
months
to
be
presented
at
the
next
Audit
Committee
meeting.
So
you'll
have
a
full
discussion
of
the
updated
plan
in
April
we're
currently
working
working
on
a
CPD
grant
management
audit.
E
So
this
is
already
in
progress
with
the
objective
we're
obsessing,
assessing
the
control
environment
for
managing
at
c-pen.
We
have
a
construction
contracts,
audit
and
we're
in
Phase
two
as
well
to
review
a
sample
of
city
construction
contracts,
changes
amendments
ensuring
that
controls
are
adequate
and
effective
to
appropriately
manage
contract
construction
contracts.
E
E
E
A
E
A
You
for
my
colleagues
this
is
a
kind
of
a
nice
dashboard
that
we
thought
it
was
important
to
keep
in
front
of
us.
Mr.
Fisher's
really
helped
us
come
up
with
what
are
really
the
key
things
that
we
want
to
be
looking
at
here
and
I
find
it
to
be
really
helpful.
It
also.
It
really
shows
the
continuous
work
of
audit
committee
and
taking
care
of
old
reports
as
we
also
embark
on
new
ones.
Yeah.
C
E
Kara
Palmisano
committee
member
Johnston-
this
includes
all
of
the
issues
noted
in
reports
of
the
21.
They
may
be
from
multiple
reports.
The
prior
audit
issue
open
audit
issue,
update
that
was
issued
in
January,
actually
notes
each
of
the
specific
ones
I
didn't
want
to.
We
have
that
conversation
since
not
much
has
changed
since
then,
but
you
can
find
in
that
auditor
update
each
of
the
audit
issues
the
relevant
Department
and
the
report
that
it
came
from.
E
So
again,
thanks
to
my
audit
team
I
had
the
benefit
of
working
alongside
ginger
Bigby
for
the
past
week.
It
was
very
helpful.
I've
got
big
shoes
to
fill
for
the
interim,
but
she
was
extremely
helpful
in
helping
me
transition
into
this
role
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
staff
they're
doing
a
lot
of
great
work.
A
Just
to
briefly
introduce
them
because
we
do
have
some
new
members
of
audit
committee.
I
will
start
with
the
person
in
absentia.
We
have
Huguette
Esso
lot.
She
works
out
of
Kansas
City.
Now
she
used
to
work
out
of
this
building,
but
her
family
moved.
She
is
our
internal
auditor
manager.
We
also
have
representation
from
one
of
our
partners
that
we
use
quite
a
bit.
That's
Baker,
Tilly
right
behind
her
I
think
Stephanie
Sam
I
mean
I'm.
Sorry
Samantha
is
here.
A
We
have
then
Travis
come
as
our
auditor
right
here
on
the
corner
and
we
have
komlin
a
lady
also
on
the
audit.
So
often
Huguette
does
come
into
town
for
our
audit
committee
meetings,
but
this
was
a
special
meeting
and
that
didn't
seem
practical.
So
did
you
want
to
go
in
it?
Would
it
make
sense
to
briefly
walk
through
the
audit
plan?
I
can.
E
I
can
certainly
briefly
walk
through
the
appendix
well
I
obviously
been
in
this
role
for
a
short
period
of
time,
and
that
time
has
been
primarily
focused
on
the
special
project
that
we've
been
working
on,
making
sure
I'm
immersed
in
that
and
understand
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
explain
in
too
much
detail
the
projects
that
are
ongoing,
I'm
going
to
be
learning
about
those
in
the
coming
weeks,
as
we
close
the
special
project,
but
you'll
note.
E
E
You'll
see
on
this
subsequent
page
the
audits
that
have
not
been
started,
so
these
were
added
to
the
audit
plan,
many
of
them
to
be
started
in
q2.
So
we'll
be
finishing
up
our
q1
audits
over
the
next
month
and
beginning
the
q2
audits,
affordable,
housing,
follow-up
to
a
prior
project
that
related
to
equity
in
hiring
for
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
that
looked
at
the
first
phase
from
application
through
hire.
B
E
So
this
is
an
important
field,
considering
all
the
risks
that
we
have
from
a
cybersecurity
perspective.
Any
city
has
those
same
risks,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
on
an
annual
or
biannual
basis
that
we're
working
with
IT
to
ensure
our
cybersecurity
controls
are
in
place
and
functioning
effectively
revenue
and
collections
we're
going
to
review
revenue
and
collections
processes.
So
that's
that's
a
significant
task,
obvious.
E
Those
are
projects
be
coming
up,
probably
in
the
upcoming
quarters,
so
we'll
be
working
on
those
there's
some
more
detail
and
as
we
work
on
the
annual
risk
assessment
plan,
we'll
also
be
talking
about
those
in
more
detail
and
providing
updates
to
the
committee
and
then
the
final
page
you'll
see
2019
completed
audits.
So
it's
the
list
of
the
projects
that
we
worked
on
in
2019.
Consider
completed
because
the
audits
are
completed
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
still
following
up
on
issues
and
making
sure
that
everything
within
those
audits
is
addressed
by
management.
A
Thank
You
mr.
Patrick,
this
has
been
helpful
with
that
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file.
This
report
about
our
internal
audit
departments.
Work
in
progress
may
I
have
a
second
all.
Those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
This
already
is
posted
as
soon
as
those
slides
are
done
after
agenda
setting
those
slides
get
posted
typically
to
the
to
the
external
website
Lim's.
Next,
we
are
going
to
our
MPD
sexual
assault,
examination
kits,
internal
control
review
and
our
untested
kit
count
verification
special
project.
I
will
invite
again
mr.
A
Patrick
to
come
and
introduce
this.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
and
that
we
we
four
regular
standing
meetings
and
audit
reports
that
come
out.
We
do
send
out
a
few
days
in
advance
for
our
committee
members
to
review
and
come
up
with
questions
or
thoughts
or
concerns
that
we
have
about
not
it.
We
typically,
that
is
the
common
practice.
This
particular
audit.
A
We
felt
we
were
trying
to
balance
being
able
to
have
it
out
in
public
as
soon
as
it
was
ready
with
the
fact
that,
still
on
Friday
afternoon,
there
were
details
being
wrapped
up.
So
I
understand
you
couldn't
send
it
out
on
Friday
afternoon,
but
it
is.
It
is
not
a
full-blown
audit
it
as
a
special
project
unless
I
think
this
is
something
we
can
feasibly
walk
through
and
get
through
today
and
ask
for
the
attention
of
my
colleagues
to
be
able
to
walk
through
and
handle
this
so
that
the
public
might
see
it.
A
E
E
We
work
with
the
department
to
assess
issues
doesn't
necessarily
require
formal
management
responses
and
plans.
But
there
are
follow-up
is
issues
so
this
will
likely
not
be
the
last
presentation
or
opportunity
for
questions
on
the
issue
as
we
continue
to
follow
up
and
make
sure
the
work
continues
to
progress
and.
E
Geo
valise,
we
have
lieutenant
Darci
horn
and
Christina
Warren
from
Hennepin
County,
and
this
was
a
great
collaboration
I'd
like
to
thank
upfront
how
transparent
and
effective
MPD
was
in
responsive
in
working
with
internal
audit.
This
was
a
significant
amount
of
work
that
happened
in
a
short
period
of
time.
They
certainly
wanted
to
address
issues
and
were
willing
to
work
with
us
all
throughout
the
process
to
make
sure
we
had
enough
evidence
and
adequate
understanding
of
the
process
to
give
them
relevant,
credible
feedback
and
I'll
note
they're
here,
they're.
E
A
E
So
the
scope
of
our
work
on
this
project
was
to
first
do
a
physical
inventory
account
of
all
kits
in
MPD
in
BCA
possession,
so
kits,
I'll
just
use
the
word
kits.
They
refer
to
sexual
assault,
evidence
kits,
but
we
were
going
to
verify
that
1700
ish
number
given
there
is
that
large
change.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
count
was
accurate.
E
We
reviewed
current
policies
and
procedures
for
kit
handling,
so
there
are
two
similar
bullet
points:
the
this
and
the
next
one.
This
is
referring
specifically
to
how
kits
are
collected
after
they're,
created
by
a
medical
provider
versus
the
next
bullet
point,
where
we're
reviewing
the
process
and
policies
for
handling
kits
in
the
backlog,
so
the
kits
that
we
have
versus
kits
wear
that
are
created
in
the
future
and
received
by
PD.
And
finally,
we
reviewed
the
plan
to
test
the
kit
backlog
so
kind
of
each
component
related
to
this
backlog.
E
I'm
going
to
discuss
each
of
these
in
turn,
I'll
note
observations
that
we
made
during
that
process
and
recommendations
that
we
have
for
remediating.
Any
issues
that
we
saw
in
each
of
these
bullet
points.
So
first
I'll
talk
about
the
inventory
count,
so
MPD's
1700
is
number
count
and
you'll
find.
The
exact
numbers
in
the
report
differs
slightly
from
internal
audits,
count
about
75
cases
kits
in
difference
from
what
we
found
to
what
MPD
found.
So
the
1700
plus
number
that
MPD
found
was
accurate,
as
that
kit
count
increased
from
2015
to
2019.
E
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
the
total
universe
of
kits
that
were
collected
and
we
can
state
that
they
have
an
accurate
count
of
kits.
So
this
number
of
kits
includes
kits
that
MPD
cannot
test.
That's
an
important
distinction
to
make
that
some
kids
are
restricted,
and
that
means
the
person
may
have
gone
to
get
a
kit
created
but
decided
to
not
report
that
kit
to
the
police
department.
E
It
also
includes
kits
that
were
collected
in
circumstances
that
don't
support
testing,
so
a
kit
might
be
created
in
instances
such
as
a
homicide
or
there
might
not
necessarily
be
evidence
of
a
sexual
assault,
but
as
part
of
the
regular
process
they
would
collect
the
kit,
but
it
might
not
meet
any
criteria
to
submit
to
the
BCA
for
testing.
So
this
number
also
includes
those
type
of
kits
and
there's
significant
research,
that's
required
for
each
kit
to
determine
whether
it's
restricted
or
unrestricted
and
whether
it
supports
testing.
E
Next
I'll
talk
about
the
KITT
handling
policy,
specifically,
as
kits
are
created
how
MPD
receives
those
kits
so
first.
Our
first
observation
was
that
MPD's
policy
related
to
kit
handling
needed
updates.
So
first
there
is
strong
institutional
knowledge
in
the
bureau
that
investigates
sexual
assaults.
E
They
have
a
lot
of
working
knowledge,
they've
been
working
in
that
field
for
a
long
time,
so
they
have
practices
that
they're
following
that
are
strong,
but
that
isn't
necessarily
captured
in
policy.
So
if
someone
were
to
leave
and
were
there's
turnover
in
the
department,
you
might
lose
some
of
that
strong
institutional
knowledge
policies,
don't
necessarily
reflect
all
key
roles
in
alignment
with
state
statutes.
State
statutes
actually
create
some
very
specific
things
that
are
required
to
be
in
policy,
namely
when
victim
reaches
out
for
data
requests.
E
The
person
who
is
assigned
by
MPD
to
respond
to
those
requests
should
be
identified
in
policy
and
we
have
an
information
management
system.
So
we
had
a
legacy
system
capers
as
it
was
called,
and
now
we've
updated
to
a
more
modern
system.
The
policy
still
might
reflect
information
in
the
old
system.
It
could
be
updated
for
the
new.
E
We
have
a
great
opportunity
right
now
because
we're
developing
a
new
property
in
evidence
unit
and
a
victim
notification
protocol.
So
these
are
two
things
that
MPD
is
doing
on
its
own
and
because
of
that,
we'll
likely
need
to
update
policy
to
reflect
these
new
changes.
So
it's
actually
a
good
time
to
review
the
policy
and
make
sure
it
captures
all
the
new
activities
that
MPD
is
conducting
so.
E
Our
second
observation
related
to
kit
handling,
was
that
there
I'll
walk
through
kind
of
the
process
first
and
then
I'll
talk
about
the
observation
related
to
it.
So
first,
a
medical
someone
may
go
to
a
medical
provider
to
perform
a
sexual
assault
kit
to
get
that
that
kid
tested
to
get
that
kit
created.
Excuse
me,
so
the
medical
provider
would
conduct
the
examination,
create
the
kit
and
then
ideally
notify
MPD
that
the
kit
was
created,
MPD's
required
after
notification
to
collect
that
kit
within
10
days.
E
E
Different
institutions
might
have
different
practices
for
notifying
MPD.
They
might
have
one
point
of
contact
so
they're
reaching
out
to
their
person
that
they
work
with
to
notify
them
that
a
kit
was
created,
or
they
may
expect
regular
follow-ups
from
MPD
to
inquire.
Whether
or
not
there
were
kids
so
without
this
central
system
to
notify
MPD,
it's
not
clear
that
MPD
is
being
notified
exactly
at
the
same
time
as
the
kit
is
created
and
also,
if
kits,
are
immediately
sent
to
the
BCA
from
the
medical
provider.
A
Patrick
a
question
here
because
we
are
because
we're
human
because
we
move
around
boundaries
in
a
region.
Usually
this
is
MPD's
process.
Is
it
true
that
also
a
a
clinic,
a
medical
clinic
or
other
provider,
Hospital
etc
has
different
ways
that
they
have
to
notify
other
jurisdictions
right?
So,
for
example,
if
this
clinic
happens
to
be
in
Golden
Valley,
what
makes
that
but
Anika
is
created.
Is
it
about
where
the
person
who
was
tested
lives
or
rather
is
it
about
where
as
an
assault
occurred,
would
it
be
within
Minneapolis
or
not,
and
did
you
find?
E
F
Obviously,
the
lion's
share
of
these
come
from
some
of
the
major
medical
providers,
but
there
are
people
may
choose
to
report
a
sexual
assault
at
a
clinic
or
other
areas
and
I
think
that's
where
there
may
be
some
difficulties
or
gaps
so
to
speak
because
of
the
large
variety
of
different
medical
stakeholders,
lter
that
we
may
have
interface
with.
If
you
would
like
to
elaborate
bit
on
that
lieutenant.
F
C
G
A
So
and
then
per
what
mr.
Patrick
was
saying
that
there
were
any
number
of
ways
there
wasn't
really
a
centralized
way
that
these
many
different
stakeholders
would
necessarily
use
to
reach.
Mpd
I
had
heard
conversationally
that
you
know.
Sometimes
they
would
just
call
like
the
front
desk
of
the
precinct
that
they
were
used
to
working
with
right
and
whoever
is
there
at
that
time
may
or
may
not
try
to
send
that
out.
You
know
dispatch
that
out
to
go
and
get
a
kit.
A
A
Is
this
no
central
method
for
notifying
MPD
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is
is
the
concern
that
it's
not
consistent
in
a
way
that,
even
if
a
person
they're
used
to
working
with
happens
to
be
on
vacation
or
is
it
that
there's
no
central
department,
the
people
were
calling
to
go
and
pick
up
a
kit
or
or
what
is
the
central
miss
of
the
method
that
was
of
concern.
I,
think.
F
The
the
disconnect
then
comes
with
other,
with
with
some
medical
providers
or
clinics
not
having
that
regular
connection
with
us
and
then
utilizing
whatever
sounds
to
them
to
be
the
best
way
of
reaching
out
to
us
to
connect
with
us
I
think
in
these
cases
when,
when
these
cases
are
reviewed
by
us,
and
we
see
that
someone
reported
a
sexual
assault
and
that
they
underwent
a
sexual
assault,
examination
at
a
particular
clinic.
That
is
an
immediate
trip
for
us
to
know
that
there
is
a
kit
at
one
of
these
clinics.
F
So
that's
one
way
that
we
can
backstop
that,
but
there's
a
large
amount
of
different
providers
out
there
in
different
places
and
and
I
don't
want
to
get
ahead
of
ourselves
in
different
regards.
But
it's
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
we
as
an
organization
and
as
a
profession,
truly
advocate
a
statewide
kit
tracking
system.
That
really
brings
all
the
stakeholders
together
in
such
a
manner,
that's
codified
by
legislature
and
law,
and
really
connects
all
the
gaps
across
the
system.
Because
we.
F
A
very
good
system
that
we
put
in
place
in
Minneapolis,
but
it
we're
for
this
type
of
a
crime
and
victimization
we're
dealing
with
so
many
different
stakeholders
outside
of
the
city
and
if
I
think
it
would
be
best
for
all
the
victims.
If
that
were
the
way
to
go,
and
we
are
proactively
exploring
that
with
our
partners.
I.
A
F
Numerous
ones
that
do
and
and
we've
just
recently
had
some
conversations
with
the
BCA
who
would
likely
be
the
people
to
help
spearhead
this
many
states
do
have
that
have
this
capacity,
I've
instituted
it
in
their
in
their
state
statutes.
It's
very,
very
effective.
Everybody
operates
off
the
same
playbook.
F
It
increases
accountability
statewide.
There
should
be
no
reason
why
a
survivor
of
sexual
assault
has
are
undergoing
different
experiences
in
different
jurisdictions.
It
should
be
the
same
across
the
board
one
of
the
additional
ways
is
it
really
alleviates
this
some
aspects
of
it
and
the
one
that
we
would
support
the
most?
It
would
really
alleviate
this
notifying
of
a
department
to
come
pick
up
a
kit
to
bring
it
back
to
us
for
then
for
us
to
take
it
to
the
BCA
under
current
statute.
F
B
F
Point
of
collection,
I
think
that
would
help
alleviate
a
lot
of
this
as
well
as
well
as
centralized
storage
of
kits
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
things
out.
There
there's
a
many
different
states
that
are
doing
this
and
I
know
that
at
the
state
level
and
through
our
stakeholders,
and
especially
with
our,
are
very
much
supportive
input.
It's
being
looked
at.
Thank.
A
E
E
Whoever
that
might
be
so
all
notifications
to
be
routed
to
a
single
number
or
email
and
then
with
MPD,
can
work
with
IT
data
and
analytics
to
improve
tracking
to
make
sure
that
we're
complying
with
the
10-day
and
60-day
requirements.
If
we
don't
have
a
centralized
number,
if
we
don't
have
a
centralized
tracking
system,
we
don't
necessarily
know
our
level
of
compliance
with
that.
There
is
tracking
that's
going
on,
but
as
we
improve
consistency,
we
can
also
improve
consistency
in
our
data
collection
and
making
sure
that
we're
hitting
our
targets.
E
E
A
E
B
B
E
So
in
our
work
observing
this
system
in
place,
we
had
several
recommendations.
First
was
to
there's
already
a
robust
tracking
mechanism
that
parties
are
using
to
track
Kitts
as
they
progress
in
their
research
on
the
backlog.
There
are
some
enhancements
that
could
be
made
specifically
management
sign
offs
when
management
reviews
the
work
of
staff
and
signs
off
that
a
kit
is
ready
to
go
for
testing,
making
sure
that
information
is
in
the
tracker
and,
of
course,
to
add
kits
that
were
identified
during
internal
audits
review.
Add
those
kits
to
the
tracking.
E
Staff
is
likely
using
criteria
to
prioritize
kits
so,
while
kits
like
Miss
Warren
mentioned
are
to
be
tested,
since
there's
a
backlog,
they're
identifying
kids
to
be
prioritized
to
be
sent
immediately
to
the
BCA.
We
recommended
that
they
ensure
that
every
staff,
member
and
every
person
reviewing
the
kits
is
using
consistent
criteria
to
prioritize
kits
and
then
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
plan
in
place
to
update
records
in
the
police
information
management
system
as
any
inconsistencies
or
errors,
are
found,
as
well
as
when
research
is
done.
E
And
finally,
the
backlog
testing
process,
so
this
is
how
kits
are
being
tested
and
submitted
to
the
BCA.
So
our
observation
was
that
there's
a
plan
to
test
all
eligible
kits
after
review.
Mpd
has
already
submitted
100
kits
to
the
BCA
for
testing.
So
there
is
progress
happening
they're
already
working
on
eliminating
the
backlog
by
sending
kids
to
the
BCA.
E
So
our
recommendation
related
to
this
was
specifically
have
regular
and
continued
communication
between
the
parties,
ensuring
that
the
BCA
understands
MPD's
expectation
and
when
and
how
these
kids
are
to
be
tested,
that
the
BCA
provide
weekly
updates
to
the
MPD.
So
they
can
continuously
track
the
BCA's
progress
on
testing
backlogged
kits
as
they're
being
sent
an
internal
audit
as
a
part
of
this
review
is
going
to
add
to
its
continuous
monitoring
plan,
regular
reviews
to
make
sure
that
kids
are
being
returned
and
to
be
able
to
report
back
on
results.
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
comments
from
my
colleagues
so
I'll
just
step
in
and
say
it.
It
sounds
like
a
nice
way
of
saying
that
the
BCA
isn't
doing
their
job.
Is
the
BCA
doing
their
job?
Are
we
trying
to
manage
the
BCA?
It
seems
like
we're
sending
things
to
the
BCA
and
not
getting
them
back
and
not
getting
the
progress
we
expected
as.
E
Of
our
review
last
week
the
BCA
had
not
been
returning
backlog
kits.
I,
don't
want
to
speak
specifically
to
their
work
process
and
I.
Don't
believe
they're
here
to
talk
about
it,
but
I
can
certainly
ask
any
of
my
colleagues
if
they
want
to
discuss
how
that
communications
been
going
and
the
progress
that
the
BCA
has
been
making
miss.
C
The
reason
that
the
kids
have
to
be
I
mean
obviously
once
they're
tested
by
the
BCA.
There
is
a
report
generated
and
the
reason
the
the
kits
have
to
be
transferred
back
is
because
the
local
jurisdiction
is
the
one
responsible
for
storage.
Is
that
currently
why?
Okay,
it
just
seems
back
and
forth
I
mean
it's
easy
to
get
rapport.
We're
not
easy,
but
you
know
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
that.
So
it's
the
storage,
that's
required.
Thank
you.
E
We
actually
don't
risk
it.
It's
we
don't
retain
some
of
the
evidence
and
the
kit
the
kit,
without
getting
too
much
into
the
specifics.
Some
of
the
kid
is
returned,
but
not
the
biological
samples.
The
report
is
the
key
piece
of
evidence
coming
back
with
the
PCs
findings
when
they
do
their
biological
testing,
deputy
chief
pores
can
speak
more
clearly
to
them.
F
Palmisano
committee
members
say
I
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
put
a
little
bit
of
clarity
to
the
testing
capacity
that
BCA,
without
speaking
for
them
and
I
would
not
want
to
do
so.
We
have
finalized
our
contract
with.
This
is
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
pay
for
two
additional
analysts
that
are
going
to
be
focused
solely
on
working
on
our
backlog
kits
and
generously.
The
Hennepin
County
Attorney's
Office
also
has
formalized
our
contract
with
the
BCA
to
fund,
didn't
pay
for
two
additional
analysts,
as
well
as
costs
for
the
the
testing
materials.
F
All
together
will
be
for
analysts
that
will
be
assigned
to
work
solely
on
our
kit
backlog.
They
do
have
to
hire
train
and
get
these
people
online.
So
there
is
a
lead-up
period
as
of
today.
I
have
been
told
and
I'm,
assuming
it's
completely
accurate
that,
rather
than
wait
and
hire,
they
have
moved
one
fully
trained
person
in
place
now
to
begin
working
solely
on
our
backlog,
kits
in
my
conversations
with
the
BCA
they've
they
have.
F
F
Been
over
a
course
of
time
it
isn't
it
wasn't
one
bulk
submission,
rather
than
yell
across
the
room
at
you,
I
know
we
had
worked
out.
We
began
to
work
out
an
arrangement
with
them
as
to
how
many
additional
kits
they
could
accept
on
a
weekly
basis
from
us.
We
could
begin
beginning
to
delve
into
the
backlog,
so
eight.
A
A
E
So
that
addresses
the
four
main
components
that
internal
audit
reviewed
during
this
special
program
review.
I'll,
just
wrap
up
again,
discuss
each
issue
and
turn
briefly
MPD
accurately
counted
the
kits.
There
is
a
small
number
of
discrepancies,
but
the
seventeen
hundred
plus
number
was
accurate,
that
MPD
produced
MPD
should
review
and
update
policies
and
procedures
on
perhaps
an
annual
basis
to
make
sure
they
reflect
current
systems.
We
should
create
a
centralized
system
to
contact
MPD
that'll
for
better
tracking
making
sure
that
we're
hitting
all
the
state
required
timelines.
E
E
The
stakeholders,
BCA
MTD
city
of
Minneapolis,
should
communicate
regularly
and
work
out
any
issues
in
testing
the
backlog
to
make
sure
that
the
kits
continue
to
flow
back
to
Minneapolis
after
they're
sent
to
the
BCA
and
that
part
of
that
might
be
meeting
regularly
to
discuss
expectations.
Ensuring
they're
met
and
developing
a
system
to
really
clearly
track
and
identify
each
kit
in
the
backlog
that's
sent
and
when
it's
returned.
H
B
E
F
Four
should
give
you
kind
of
a
capacity
of
how
many
backlogged
kits
then,
as
we
saw
as
we
move
forward
I
think
we
anticipated
you
know
somewhere
around
the
two-year
mark
to
it
to
effectively
get
through
the
backlog
in
such
a
manner
that
the
kids
are
being
processed
and
returned
and
then
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
examine
the
results
that
come
back
from
the
BCA
and
do
any
sort
of
investigative
follow-up.
That
needs
to
be
done.
And/Or
review
with
the
county
attorney.
G
F
1980S,
it's
there's
a
we've
retained
kits
for
goes
back
over
30
years
and
and
to
give
a
little
bit
of
framework.
There's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
there's
multiple
reasons
why
we
have
that
number
of
kits,
and
that
goes
from
I
would
say
the
the
way
that
hit
testing
was
reviewed
and
handled.
What
policies
and
procedures
and
kind
of
the
thoughts
were
over
the
course
of
over
30
years.
F
The
BCA
with
things
there's
many
many
that
that
is
not
the
the
thought
that
we
have.
Currently.
We
look
at
things
very
much
differently
and
we
are
of
the
opinion.
We
want
every
possible
kit
that
we
can
to
be
tested
and
we
looked
at
when
state
law
changed
and
said
from
August
of
2018
moving
forward
that
all
untested
on
restricted
kits,
if
you
could
should
should
it
will
be
tested.
H
The
next
question
I
know
a
lot
of
this
kind
of
comes
from
like
the
starting
point
in
2000
it
was
15
when
there
was
a
lot
more
national
attention,
I
mean
it
was
said
that
he
had
a
lot
less
at
that
time.
Duluth
was
kind
of
hit
the
hardest
saying
that
they
had
the
most
untested
kits,
yes,
I
believe
also
at
the
time
there
was
federal
funding.
For
that.
Yes,
is
that
funding
still
available?
We.
F
Are
still
looking
forward
and
in
our
account
under
cooperation
with
the
Hennepin
County,
Attorney's
Office
and
looking
at
sake
grit,
our
sake
grant
funding,
as
you
know,
with
things
like
that,
the
2015
sake
grant
funding,
there's
still
kits
that
were
awarded
funding
from
the
2015
grant
that
they
still
have
not
yet
done.
We
did
not
want
to
apply
that
level
of
delay
to
this.
F
A
In
just
a
clarification
on
that
deputy
chief
in
mid-november,
I
think
when
we
first,
you
know
heard
about
this
and
became
public
with
this.
We
made
the
commitment
at
that
point
in
time
to
fund
these
two
additional
analysts.
Is
that
correct,
yes,
internally,
somehow
within
our
city,
to
clear
it
out?
So
then
with
the
BCA
I
would
just
say
it's
February
today,
not
you!
Thank
you.
H
Just
to
just
to
follow
up
on
your
points,
I
mean
my
point
is
that
this
is
terrible
and
someone
needs
to
say
that
and
I
appreciate
that
the
city
did
what
it
could
when
in
new
that.
But
there's
there's
a
lot
more
to
this
and
I
appreciate
the
proactivity
of
the
department.
But
it
is
it's
a
pretty
bad
Mista
mistake.
D
Thank
you
ma'am
sure,
deputy
chief
Horace
good
morning.
It
was
it
I'm
I'm,
there's
back
up
a
little
bit
because
I'm
confused
to
where
this
all
came
from
in
the
first
place
in
2015
there
was
an
analysis
done
of
the
untested
kits
and
194
were
found
and
sent
to
the
BCA.
Now
it's
1700
and
I'm,
still
struggling
to
figure
out
seventeen
hundred
and
thirty
one
I
think
is-
is
the
accurate
number,
although
I'm
just
seeing
the
report
sitting
here
at
Dyess,
what
is
the
actual
backlog?
F
2015
the
directive
that
came
from
the
BCA
was
to
provide
them
with
an
accounting
of
all
the
untested
unrestricted
kits
that
you
have
in
your
inventory,
as
we've
described
before.
Unrestricted
means
that
survivor
is
reported,
that
they
were
a
victim
of
sexual
assault.
Kit
was
created
and
they
signed
authorized
a
form
saying
this
can
be
reported
to
the
police
and
tested
those
were
the
number
of
kids.
F
Those
were
the
kits
that
we
saw
in
our
inventory
that
we
were
told
to
report
to
the
BCA,
the
individual
that
performed
this
audit
did
not
do
an
accurate
job
and
we
have
looked
numerous
times
during
the
course
of
once.
We
collectively
realized
that
number
was
woefully
inaccurate
and
into
councilmember
Schrader's
point.
At
the
time
there
should
have
been
a
flag
that
we
didn't
have
more
untested
kits
than
Duluth.
We
are
the
largest
municipality
in
the
state.
F
We
handle
the
largest
number
of
sexual
assaults
in
the
state
and
if
we
were
doing
our
job
as
we
should
in
retaining
kids,
we
should
have
the
largest
number
of
untested
kits
in
the
state
following
everyone
was
essentially
applying
the
same
methodology
over
the
course
of
several
decades.
How
that
was
not
caught.
I
do
not
know
I,
don't
have
those
answers
for
you.
I
know
that
we
have
been
unable
to
find
a
definitive
pattern
and
we've
basically
chalked
it
up
to.
D
Thank
you
for
that.
I
just
follow
up
questioning
nature.
When
we
talk
about
restricted.
This
is
where
I'm
getting
confused
a
bit.
There
are
base
a
number
of
circumstances
where
a
kit
may
have
not
been
tested
at
the
time
given,
as
you
described,
the
the
pot
that
it
applies
to
a
single
case
not
to
a
to
a
pad
or
to
practice.
So
you
could
not
test
a
kit,
because
a
crime
has
not
been
reported,
even
though
a
kid
has
been
created,
although
I
don't
know
why
that
would
be.
F
Kit
in
the
in
the
parlance
of
what
we're
discussing
here,
means
that
a
survivor
of
sexual
assault
or
a
victim
of
sexual
assault
may
go
and
for
a
multitude
of
reasons
to
include
getting
medical
care.
Counseling
can
go
to
a
clinic
a
hospital
and
meet
with
a
sexual
assault.
Nurse
get
a
sexual
assault.
Examination
again,
like
I,
said,
get
needed
medical
care
and
not
choose
to
report
it
to
police,
and
that
kit
would
be
assigned
essentially
a
garand,
a
code,
a
random
number
or
something
that
can
be
connected
to
that
person
at
a
later
time.
F
Should
they
come
forward
and
say
I
want
to
report
this
incident
to
police,
so
it
allows
survivors
the
ability
to
have
that
evidence
captured,
but
then
it
gives
them
the
opportunity
if
they
I
would
say
to
make
the
choice
of
whether
or
not
they
want
that
incident
reported
to
police.
We
have
taken
the
choice
of
retaining
these
kits
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
that
way
if
a
survivor
comes
forward
at
a
later
time.
F
Knowing
that
we
what
we
know
now
about
the
psychology
of
victimization
and
how
people
respond
to
trauma,
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
that
evidence
preserved
in
on
hand.
Should
someone
come
forward
at
a
later
time
and
feel
comfortable
in
their
in
their
willingness
to
report
that
those
hits
by
law?
We
cannot
test
without
the
victims
consent.
B
F
Have
to
look
at
the
case
number
we
have
to
look
at
the
case.
We
have
to
see
what
it's
under,
because
what
we
don't
want
to
do
in
our
haste
to
want
to
work
through
this
backlog
is
inadvertently,
overstep
ourselves
and
test
kits
that
are
restricted.
Then
we
don't
have
the
authorization
to
do
so,
so
it
does
require
a
little
bit
of
a
the
farther
back.
D
F
D
F
Think
there's
a
variety
of
reasons
right
if
there's
a
wide
variety
and
as
I
said
before
it's
by
no
way
reflective
of
what
our
philosophy
is
today
and
how
things
I
think
are
being
viewed
and
how
law
enforcement
in
general
has
viewed
sexual
assault
kits
in
their
value
and
and
I
would
say
our
obligation
to
test
this
evidence
when
we
do
have
it
case
in
point
they'll
be
there
may
be
instances
where
the
the
victim
was
not
responsive.
I
just
did
not
want
to
engage,
said,
I,
don't
want
anything
done.
F
There
may
have
been
instances
in
the
if
the
question
was
of
consent
and
both
parties
acknowledge
that
contact
it
occur.
There
may
have
been
a
consideration
that
the
the
kit
would
be.
The
kit
would
normally
be
tested
to
show
proof
of
contact,
but
if
both
people
are
already
stipulating
that
the
contact
occurred,
they
could
have
considered
the
kit
not
to
be
really
of
any
evidentiary
value.
To
prove
that
particular
point.
D
Thank
you
for
that
venture.
If
I
have
one
word
last
question
in
2015
I
understand
there
were
1565
kits
identified
as
a
backlog
and
for
various
reasons
they
weren't
sent
to
the
BCA.
Because
of
the
the
items
you
just
discussed.
Does
that
mean?
Would
that
mean
that
1565
hits
identified
in
2015
that
they
just
missed
up
to
1700
hits
and.
F
F
We
felt
we
were
accurate
and
what
we
were
looking,
but
as
councilmember
Palmisano
said,
there
were
some
times
people
who
were
utilizing
the
media
to
spread
their
opinion
that,
for
whatever
reason
we
were
manufacturing
this
number
four
and
one
instance
I
read
it
was
someone
said
it
was
for
political
gain.
I
honestly,
don't
know
how
you
could
find
that
to
be
to
political
gain,
but
there
was
one
of
the
reasons
out
there.
B
F
This,
when
this
type
of
endeavor
was
put
upon
the
on
the
department,
I
would
like
to
have
specific
answers
for
you
as
to
why
those
decisions
were
not
made.
I
have
not
found
them,
I
wasn't
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
in
passing
the
buck,
but
I
don't
know
who
made
these
decisions,
but
I
will
tell
you
this.
It
appears
these
these
kits
were
never
lost.
That's
kind
of
a
I
think
something
that
gets
brought
up,
at
least
in
a
bit
of
confusion
about
finding
kits
or
lost
kids.
Kids,
the
kids
were
never
lost.
F
They
were
always
been
inventoried
and
stored
in
the
same
consistent
way
as
when
they
came
in
the
misstep
came
when
an
individual
was
tasked
with
providing
a
a
reporting
of
these
kits
and
I
went
over
and
reviewed
and
looked
at
what
the
direction
from
the
BCA
was,
and
it
was
very
specifically
all
untested,
unrestricted
kits.
It
did
not
put
in
caveats
of
only
if
a
person
wanted
to
cooperate,
or
only
this,
or
only
that
I
suspect
that
the
person
tasked
with
this
applied
numerous
methodologies
or
different
filters
to
what
they
felt
were
viable
untested
kits.
F
That
should
be
sent
to
the
BCA
I
can't
confirm
that,
but
I
can't
find
any
other
logical
rationale
behind
it.
I
feel
that
the
question
was
simple
from
the
BCA.
Tell
us
all
your
untested
unrestricted
kits
as
I,
and
there
may
be
a
lot
of
reasons
why
the
kits
were
not
sent
based
upon
how
common
all
of
these
protocols
and
what
was
commonly
done
at
the
time,
but
that
wasn't
for
us
to
filter
and
if
we
would
have
done
so
accurately
as
we
should
have
been
2015,
we
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation
today.
D
H
Just
not
a
question
but
a
comment.
It
would
be
really
helpful.
Do
to
kind
of
the
changing
history
and
kind
of
the
changing
kind
of
views
on
these
untested
kits
to
get
kind
of
a
number
of
get
some
idea
of
how
many
of
these
weren't
tested.
Because
of
protocol
previously,
and
because
of
like
different
determinations.
B
F
Yes,
chair,
Palmisano,
councilmember,
Schrader
we've
been
in
in
great
partnership
with
the
Hennepin
County,
Attorney's
Office
and
as
part
of
our
initiative,
and
for
those
who
aren't
familiar
as
part
of
an
overall
overhaul
so
to
speak
of
sexual
assault
investigations.
I'm
gonna
take
a
little
moment
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
little
background
in
this.
We
worked
very
hard
recognizing
that
our
policies
and
practices
were
not
very
victim.
Centered
and
we've
added
staff
to
our
sexual
assault
unit.
F
We've
brought
in
graciously
an
embedded
attorney
from
the
county
attorney's
office
and
an
advocate
from
the
sexual
violence
center,
we'll
all
sit
together
and
review
and
do
case
assignment
reviews
and
really
have
a
lot
of
back-and-forth
direct
input
right
within
the
unit.
This
is
pretty
unusual
and
has
not
been
done
historically
to
allow
that
level
of
multi
disciplinary
input.
F
In
order
to
address
this
backlog,
we
have
hired
or
brought
on
an
additional
investigator
who
will
solely
be
looking
at
backlog,
kit
returns
and
also
additional
support
staff
to
handle
the
accounting
and
data
collection
of
kit
of
kit
figures.
So
that
way
we
can
address
many,
if
not
all,
of
the
recommendations.
As
soon
as
possible,
that
had
been
brought
forward
by
the
audit
committee,
but
we
have
really
taken
a
victim-centered
approach
to
this
and
we
are
looking
at
how
can
we
best
serve
people
in
the
victims
when
we're
approaching
things
so
again?
F
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
audit
committee
for
what
they've
done.
They've
brought
forward
a
lot
of
excellent
recommendations.
They've
strengthened
I
believe
a
lot
of
the
feelings
that
we've
had
that.
Looking
at
this
as
to
where
we
need
to
go
with
this,
and
we
feel
confident
that
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
with
them.
A
A
E
This
is
charting
noting
what
we
perceived
as
high
needs
high-risk
categories
for
addressing
and
moderate
risks.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
work
of
our
audit
staff.
I
am
just
coming
on
board
and
Travis
Kim
and
komlin
put
in
a
ton
of
work
on
this
in
a
very
abbreviated
timeline.
They
respected
just
how
important
this
work
was
to
get
right
and
they
work
very
hard
to
complete
that
time.
I
am
truly
thankful
for
their
hard
work
on
that,
and
the
partnership
with
our
oddities
or
our
partners
on
this
consult
great.
A
It
will
also
note
I,
didn't
mention
this
in
the
how
this
audit
came
about
work,
but
the
mayor's
office
has
also
been
heavily
involved
here,
and
the
mayor's
office
also
was
in
conversation
with
me,
as
we
were
coming
up
with
solutions
in
mid-november
early
november's.
We
were
realizing.
This
would
come
forward.
So
I
didn't
forget
him
in
this.
