COUNCIL MEMBER BIZ PRESENT CO.
PRESENT, CITIZEN MEMBER HARRIS CHAIR.
WELCOME TO THE, UH, AUDIT AND ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 26TH.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, A FAIRLY REASONABLE, UH, AGENDA.
WE HAVE, UH, TWO AUDIT REPORTS WE'LL BE HEARING, AND THEN, UM, ONE PRES SOLICITATION AND ONE POST SOLICITATION HIGH PROFILE BRIEFING.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, PUBLIC CITIZENS WHO'VE WANTED TO BE HEARD ON THIS? THERE ARE NO, UH, CITIZENS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
WELL THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BEGIN WITH, UH, ITEM NUMBER TWO, AND THAT'S THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN AUDIT REPORT.
UH, IT'S A FOLLOW UP, UH, FOR PUBLIC WORKS EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY MAINTENANCE.
AND KEVIN, WILL YOU BE GIVEN THAT? NO, SIR.
THIS IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
[Approval of Minutes ]
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.WE HAVE THE FIRST TWO ITEMS AND ALSO WE SKIPPED NUMBER ONE, THE, UH, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND, UH, ASK IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THE MINUTES FROM OUR MARCH 29TH MEETING.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
OKAY, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT IT? OKAY, HEARING NONE.
ANY OPPOSED? OKAY, THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
[CONSENT AGENDA ]
AND THEN WE HAVE TWO ITEMS THAT ARE, ARE ON, UM, OUR CONSENT AGENDA.THE FIRST ONE I HAD MENTIONED IS AN AUDIT, UH, OF PUBLIC WORKS EQUIPMENT.
THE SECOND WAS AN AUDIT OF FINANCE PROCUREMENT PREFERENCES.
AND, UH, I THINK THAT THESE HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY CONCERNS.
WE PUT THIS ON CONSENT FOR APPROVAL.
DO ANY OF THE MEMBERS WISH TO PULL ANY OF THESE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION? OKAY.
AND I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDAS FOR ITEMS TWO AND THREE.
ANY COMMENTS? OKAY, HEARING NONE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVING ITEMS TWO AND THREE AND A CONSENT AGENDA, SAY AYE.
THE CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED.
[Post-Solicitation High Profile Briefings ]
NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO, UH, A POST, OR EXCUSE ME, A UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS, UM, APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH SCHEDULING SEVEN CONTRACTS FOR THE CITY TO CONSIDER TO PROVIDE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WITH ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING.AND THIS IS A PRES SOLICITATION BRIEFING POST.
I'M ZI SINI, DIRECTOR, CITY ENGINEER FOR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE RECEIVED 31 PROPOSAL AND REVIEWED ALL OF THEM AND RECOMMENDING SELECTION OF SEVEN CONSULTING TO PROVIDE CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF C'S INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM.
THE VALUE WILL BE 9.1 MILLION OVER TWO YEARS PERIOD.
AS YOU REMEMBER, OUR SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUDES THE CRITERIA, A, A EXPERIENCE, BACKGROUND, QUALIFICATION OF PRIME FIRM AND KEY PERSONNEL AND KEY SUB-CONS.
CONSULTING IS 40 POINTS CRITICAL B, UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT AND PROPOSED MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH IS 25 POINTS AND CRITICAL CS EXPERIENCE IN SAN ANTONIO REGION AND PE PERFORMANCE, WHICH IS 35 POINTS.
THESE ARE THE RANKING OF THOSE 31 CONSULTING.
WE HAD SCORE ALL OF THEM AND AGAIN, RECOMMENDING SEVEN TO GO FORWARD FOR A SESSION FOR CONSULTS APPROVAL, DUE DILIGENCE WAS DONE BY FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
NUMBER OF THE VENDOR NOTIFIED 194 41 OF THEM ATTEND THROUGH THE PRE-SUBMIT OUR CONFERENCE.
AS I MENTIONED, 31 SUBMITTED ONE RESPONSE THEM, BUT DISQUALIFY BECAUSE OF A, UM, BLACK PER TIME PERIOD.
THEY HAD PROVIDED MONEY AND RESULT OF MINIMUM REQUIREMENT REVIEW, NOT FUNDING, AND RESULT OF DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW, NOT MATERIAL FINDINGS.
THIS IS IN MY PRESENTATION AND I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE OR NINE OR 10.
WE ALWAYS LOOK OUR WORKLOAD WHEN
[00:05:01]
WE HIRE TOO MANY CONSULTING AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORK FOR THEM, WE END UP PROVIDING SOME PROBABLY FALSE HOPE THEY'RE GOING TO GET PROJECT FROM US BECAUSE IT, BASED ON OUR SELECTION, THEY MAY HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF, THEY MAY BUY EQUIPMENT, THEY MAY GET BIGGER SPACE.WE WANNA MAKE SURE HOW MANY WE TRULY NEED, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE HAVE SELECTED SEVEN.
AND CHAIR, I GUESS ONE THING I'LL ADD IS, UM, BASED ON COMMENTS FROM THE PRIOR CHAIR IN THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE STARTED DOING ON THESE SOLICITATIONS WHEN WE HAD KIND OF A NARROW MARGIN BETWEEN LIKE SEVEN AND EIGHT IN THIS CASE, WE STARTED ADVERTISING IN THE SOLICITATION THAT WE WERE GOING TO TARGET SEVEN OR EIGHT SOLICITATIONS TO GIVE THE, UM, POTENTIAL RESPONDENTS AN IDEA OF HOW MANY THAT WE WERE GONNA BE SELECTING.
WELL, YOU YOU BRING UP A A POINT THAT JUST STICKS.
WHEN I LOOK AT IT, IT AS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEVEN AND EIGHT WAS NO DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN MAYBE WITHIN THE POINTS OFF THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
HAVE WE HEARD FROM VENDOR H UH, ABOUT WHAT'S MOVING FORWARD RIGHT NOW? NO, SIR.
WE HAVE NOT, UM, WE HAVE NOT NOTIFIED THE, UM, THE, UM, THE CANDIDATES THAT WEREN'T, WILL NOT BE AWARDED YET.
I JUST WONDER ABOUT THAT, BUT OKAY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A ONE POINT DIFFERENCE, SO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES THAT GETS TO BE A, A BONE OF CONTENTION SOMETIMES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANY OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBER? NOPE.
THEN THIS WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR APPROVAL.
SO I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND SECONDED BY MEMBER TREVINO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE.
NEXT ONE, WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE, AND THAT IS ALSO A POST SOLICITATION.
GOOD MORNING COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I'M PATRICK STACK, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IN THE CITY'S DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES.
UH, THIS IS A POST SOLICITATION BRIEFING, UH, FOR TWO PROGRAMS, TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND HOMELESS PREVENTION SERVICES FUNDED THROUGH HOME ARPA.
SO THIS IS A, UH, HUD FUNDING STREAM THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE CITY, UM, THROUGH A FORMULA THROUGH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.
SO IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE ARPA DOLLARS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING IN SOME OF THE OTHER COMMITTEES.
UH, IN THAT IT IS A SPECIFICALLY A HUD PROGRAM.
UH, AND THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE DEFINED BY, BY HUD, UH, TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND HOMELESS PREVENTION.
BOTH, UH, PROVIDE RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO FOLKS, UH, WITH WRAPAROUND SUPPORTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
UH, BUT THEY SERVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TARGET POPULATIONS IN THIS EVALUATION.
WE, UH, WE DID ONE SOLICITATION BECAUSE OF THE SIMILARITIES OF THE PROGRAMS, BUT THEY WERE BOTH SCORED SEPARATELY.
TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE SCORED SEPARATELY FROM THE HOMELESS PREVENTION, UH, PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF SOME UNIQUE, UH, DIFFERENCES IN THOSE, IN THOSE PROGRAM TYPES WHO THEY SERVE, UH, BOTH WITH TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, SERVING PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
UH, AND WE PRIORITIZE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS, UH, OR WHO ARE FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATIONS.
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVES PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY HOUSED, UM, TO KEEP THEM HOUSED, PROVIDE THE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICE AND PREVENT THEM FROM EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
UH, IT WAS AN R F P THAT WAS, UH, PUT OUT IN DECEMBER, UH, THE PROPOSED TERM FOR, FOR UP TO THREE YEARS.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE $7.5 MILLION, UH, VALUE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED OVER THOSE THREE YEARS.
UH, SO THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO SCORING MATRIX.
SO THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE.
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, UH, OR FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, UH, WE RECOMMEND THREE VENDORS, UM, BASED ON THE SCORES, EXPERIENCE, BACKGROUND, QUALIFICATION OF THE AGENCY.
AND I SHOULD MENTION, WE, WE LIMITED THIS TO NONPROFITS AND, UM, AGENCIES TO, TO RESPOND TO, SIMILAR TO OUR DELEGATE AGENCY PROCESS.
UH, THE EXPERIENCE BACKGROUND QUALIFICATION OF THE AGENCIES WAS 30 POINTS.
THEIR PLAN OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES 45 POINTS AND THE REASONABLENESS AND ACCURACY THOROUGHNESS OF THEIR BUDGET WAS, WAS 25 POINTS.
SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING THREE VENDORS OUT OF THE FOUR THAT RESPONDED.
THIS IS THE NEXT, UH, PROGRAM.
UH, THE SAME FOUR AGENCIES APPLIED FOR BOTH, BOTH PROGRAM TYPES.
AND ON THIS SIDE WE'RE RECOMMENDING, UH, TWO VENDORS, THE TOP
[00:10:01]
TWO SCORING VENDORS, UH, THE DUE DILIGENCE, UH, PROCUREMENT, UH, FINANCE SENT OUT NOTIFICATIONS TO 85, UH, VENDORS, AGENCIES.IT WAS ALSO ADVERTISED THROUGH THE C THE CONTINUUM OF CARE.
UH, FOUR ATTENDED THE PRE-SUBMIT CONFERENCE AND WE DID RECEIVE EIGHT RESPONSES.
FOUR AGENCIES, UM, RESPONDED, UH, TO THE BOTH OF THOSE PROGRAM TYPES.
THAT'S WHY THERE'S A TOTAL OF EIGHT.
UH, AND THERE WERE NO FINDINGS ON THE, ON THE MINIMUM REVIEW AND THE DUE DILIGENCE.
AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.
UH, A LOT OF TIMES WE HEAR, UM, WELL, I GUESS ON A PRES SOLICITATION, WE USUALLY HEAR WHO SAT ON THE BOARD AND EVERYTHING.
AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING THESE.
WHO ARE SOME OF THE MEMBERS? SURE.
SO OUR DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, UH, DIRECTOR, MELODY WOOSLEY, WHO'S HERE TODAY, AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR MEMBERS OF THE STAFF, BOTH ON THE STREET OUTREACH, UH, INCLUDING ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS.
UM, AND THEN WE HAD A MEMBER FROM SARAH, THE CONTINUUM OF CARE LEAD AGENCY, UH, BECAUSE, UH, THEY'RE VERY CLOSELY INVOLVED WITH THESE PROJECT TYPES WITH PRIORITIZING THE CLIENT.
SO THEY ALSO WERE ON THE COMMITTEE.
ALSO, WERE WE HANDLING MOST OF THESE IN-HOUSE AND NOW WE'RE GOING OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN AGENCY TO DO THESE? SO THIS IS NEW FUNDING THROUGH, THROUGH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN LEGISLATION.
UM, SO IT'S NEW TO OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, THESE PROGRAMS, THE SIMILAR PROGRAMS TO THIS HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED TO AGENCIES THROUGH THE DELEGATE AGENCY PROCESS IN THE PAST.
AND IT IS ONE TIME FUNDING THAT WAS MADE CLEAR IN THE SOLICITATION TOO.
SO IT IS, UM, PRIORITIZING CERTAIN POPULATIONS WITHIN OUR HOMELESS STRATEGIC PLAN.
UM, BUT, BUT SIMILAR PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED OUT BY OUR DEPARTMENT IN THE PAST.
DOES ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANY OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS? NO.
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH THEN.
AND, UH, SO THIS AGAIN WOULD GO TO COUNCIL WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION.
SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE THIS RECOMMENDATION CITY COUNCIL.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO APPROVE TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY, THEN IT'S APPROVED FOR FORWARDING CITY COUNCIL.
[Staff Briefing ]
BELIEVE WE HAVE ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA TODAY.I MUST NOT BE PAYING ATTENTION.
UPDATE ON, ON THE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE AUDITS.
UM, THIS IS OUR QUARTERLY UPDATE, UH, ON THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, UH, ACTION PLANS FROM OUR MANAGEMENT RESPONSES.
AND I DID WANNA JUST DO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS WITH OUR NEW, UH, COMMITTEE MEMBER.
AND JUST A REFRESHER FOR WHAT WE DO.
AND BASICALLY ALL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE MAKE DURING ANY OF OUR AUDITS WILL BE REVIEWED.
WE REVIEW IT ONE OF TWO WAYS, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY, UH, UH, ITEM BY ITEM AFTER THE COMPLETED TARGET DATE, UH, ON THE MANAGEMENT RESPONSE.
OR IN A FEW OCCASIONS WE'LL DO A COMPLETE AUDIT, RE-AUDIT THE PROCESS.
AND THAT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHENEVER THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT, UH, FINDINGS OR IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PIECEMEAL IT, IT'S BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT FOR US TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN.
THE, UH, INDIVIDUAL REVIEWS THAT WE DO, THEY'RE REPORTED QUARTERLY.
THE, UH, IF WE DO THE RE-AUDIT, THOSE ARE JUST GO THROUGH THE NORMAL AUDIT PROCESS.
IN FACT, ONE OF THE AUDITS ON CONSENT TODAY WAS A FOLLOW UP AUDIT.
SO THAT'S HOW THOSE GET TO THE COMMITTEE, UH, IS WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE SPREADSHEET THAT FOLLOWS.
WE GOT TWO ISSUES OR TWO ITEMS THAT WE TRACK HERE.
THE FIRST ONE IS MANAGEMENT ASSERTION.
THIS IS AFTER THE TARGET DATE.
WE GO TO MANAGEMENT, SAY, HAVE YOU FIX THIS, HAVE YOU ADDRESSED IT? AND THEY WILL ASSERT, THEY WILL TELL US, YES, THEY'VE DONE IT.
NO, THEY'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE OR WHATEVER THE STATUS IS.
SO WE'LL PUT THAT IN THAT COLUMN.
THE OTHER COLUMN THEN IS THE AUDIT VERIFICATION.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE, UH, TO VALIDATE THAT, UH, IT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND WE'LL EITHER VERIFY IT WITHOUT EXCEPTION, WHICH IS GOOD, WE'LL VERIFY, BUT WE FOUND EXCEPTIONS NOT GOOD.
GENERALLY, THE VERIFICATION PENDING, AND YOU'LL SEE QUITE A FEW OF THOSE.
IT'S WHENEVER THEY, LIKE DECEMBER 31ST, THERE WERE A LOT OF MANAGEMENT TARGET DATES WERE DECEMBER 31ST.
WELL, WE DON'T GO IN ON JANUARY 1ST TO REVIEW THEM.
THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT, BUT WE LET THAT NEW PROCESS RUN THREE TO FOUR MONTHS, MAYBE SIX MONTHS, TO SEE IF IT TRULY WAS IMPLEMENTED AND IS WORKING EFFECTIVELY.
[00:15:01]
THAT TIME LIMIT BEFORE WE GO BACK AND LOOK, UH, AT THAT TO SEE IF THEY ACTUALLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.WE JUST, WE CAN'T GO IN RIGHT AWAY 'CAUSE THERE'S NO DATA, UH, TO AUDIT THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU'LL SEE ON YOUR SPREADSHEET.
THERE'S A TOTAL OF 62 RECOMMENDATIONS RIGHT NOW.
MANAGEMENT HAS TOLD US THAT 49 OF THOSE ARE COMPLETE, FIVE ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE, OR UH, FIVE ARE ON SCHEDULE.
AND THEN THERE ARE EIGHT THAT ARE BEHIND ON THOSE THAT ARE BEHIND.
WE DO FOLLOW UP ON THOSE JUST TO MAKE SURE THERE IS PROGRESS GOING ON.
AND IN ALL OF THESE CASES, THERE IS PROGRESS GOING BACK UP TO THE 49 THAT ARE COMPLETE.
WE HAVE VERIFIED 30 OF THOSE WITHOUT EXCEPTION, MEANING THEY HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND ARE WORKING EFFECTIVELY.
NONE OF THEM CAME BACK WITH ANY ISSUES.
AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE'S 19 THAT WE'RE PENDING VERIFICATION AGAIN, WAITING FOR SOME TIME TO ELAPSE BEFORE WE GO BACK AND DO OUR WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, IT GOT IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVELY.
SO THE, THE NEXT SIX PAGES ARE THE, THE SUMMARY OF THOSE.
AGAIN, BLUE AND GREEN ARE GOOD, YELLOW AND RED.
THERE ARE NO RED ON HERE, SO THAT'S GOOD.
AGAIN, I MENTIONED THERE WAS, UH, A FEW THAT ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE AND THEN QUITE A FEW, THE YELLOWS IN THE SECOND COLUMN.
THAT'S JUST US WAITING ON TIME TO PASS SO WE CAN DO THE VERIFICATION.
I THINK OVERALL THESE RESULTS ARE GOOD.
UH, AGAIN, EVEN THOSE THAT ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE ARE, UM, MOVING.
IT'S FOR VARIOUS REASONS THEY JUST DIDN'T HIT THE TARGET DATE.
AND, UH, SO WE'LL THEN CLASSIFY THEM AS BEHIND SCHEDULE.
BUT THERE IS PROGRESS BEING MADE.
I THINK I GOT THE, THE SPREADSHEET IN FRONT OF YOU.
I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY SPECIFIC ITEMS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THAT IS MY PRESENTATION.
UH, KEVIN, I, MAYBE NOT RELEVANT, BUT MAYBE, MAYBE A LITTLE.
UH, WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU AUDITED? UM, OUR, OUR TOW TRUCK CONTRACTS AND, YOU KNOW, PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS AND ALL THAT.
WE WERE AUDITING IT RIGHT NOW.
THE LAST TIME WE FINISHED AN AUDIT, I, I'D SAY THREE TO FOUR YEARS.
THAT IS WHEN WE, WE, IT'S ON OUR CYCLE.
AND WE ARE RIGHT NOW AUDITING BOTH THE TOW TRUCK CONTRACT AS WELL AS THE IMPOUND LOT 'CAUSE THEY'RE SEPARATE CONTRACTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE SERVICES GO TOGETHER.
WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT BEING COMPLETED? UH, I, I DON'T HAVE THAT.
I MEAN, WE'RE IN FIELD WORK, MEANING WE'RE IN THE WORK RIGHT NOW.
SO GENERALLY TWO MONTHS, THREE MONTHS, I, I KNOW THOSE CONTRACTS ARE GONNA BE COMING UP FOR BID OR THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, SO WE WANNA BE DONE WITH THAT.
SO IF THERE'S ANY, UH, PROCESS, UH, ANYTHING THAT WE CAN HAVE INTO THAT PROCESS.
BUT I, I MEAN, THERE'S NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT'S NOT GONNA BE FINISHED ON TIME.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE MONITORING THIS, CORRECT? OH, YEAH.
NO, IT'S, IT'S ON SCHEDULE AND IF ANYTHING WERE TO COME OUT WITH ALL OF OUR AUDITS.
IF THINGS DO SHOW UP DURING THE AUDIT, WE DON'T WAIT TILL THE END OF THE AUDIT TO TELL MANAGEMENT WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING WITH MANAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE AUDIT.
SO THAT THINGS CAN BE ADDRESSED TIMELY.
AND THEN, UM, THERE, THERE'S TWO OTHER TOPICS I'M INTERESTED IN.
ONE IS THE, UM, THE LANDRYS GO RIO RIVER, UH, YOU KNOW, RIVER BAR S A VERY IMPORTANT CONTRACT FOR US.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'VE LOOKED AT? WE HAVE LOOKED AT THAT, UH, IN THE PAST, I WANNA SAY THREE YEARS AGO POSSIBLY.
UH, IT'S ONE OF OUR MAJOR CONTRACTS THAT WE DO HAVE ON A CYCLE WHERE IN THE PROCESS OF BEGINNING TO DEVELOP NEXT YEAR'S PLAN, IT'S NOT ON OUR PLAN RIGHT NOW.
IT, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD GO BACK ON TO NEXT YEAR PLAN.
IF THE REASON I MENTION IT IS IT OCCURS TO ME CHAIR THAT WE'RE NOW POST COVID, WE'RE BACK TO PEAK NUMBERS.
UM, YOU KNOW, A LOT HAS HAPPENED.
UH, CONSIDERING THAT'S ONE OF OUR HIGHEST PROFILE CONTRACTS, MAYBE.
MAYBE I ASSIGN YOU THAT HOMEWORK IF, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE IT ON TIME, TIME TO GO BACK AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.
AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS AIRPORT, F B O OPERATIONS.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE, THE GENERAL AVIATION EXACTLY.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU LOOK AT? ALSO, WE, WE AUDITED FROM THE LEASE PERSPECTIVE.
SO WE AUDIT THE, THE AVIATION LEASES, WHICH INCLUDES GATES, YOU KNOW, THE AIRLINE GATES INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE.
SO WE LOOK AT THE F B O OPERATIONS FROM A A LEASE PERSPECTIVE, OR IF IT'S A REVENUE CONTRACT, WE INCLUDE THAT IN THE AUDIT.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE, UH, ISSUED, I WANNA SAY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR.
IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSE THAT'S ON OUR, UH, FOLLOW UP LIST.
WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS STILL.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN JUST GOT ONE ON THE AIRPORT TOO, ON ITS INVENTORY OF ALL IT EQUIPMENT AND PARTS AND THIS AND THAT.
WE'RE STARTING AN AUDIT REAL SOON, OR MAYBE IT'S JUST STARTED ON, UH, THE AVIATION FLEET.
RELATIVELY SMALL FLEET, BUT A UNIQUE FLEET AND SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE, UH, OUT THERE AND AIRPORT MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE.
THE MAINTENANCE, THAT'S THE ONE WE JUST DID.
WE LOOK AT LEASES, WE'VE GOT RENTAL CAR AGENCIES.
WE LOOK AT, UH, SEVERAL AREAS OF THE AIRPORT BECAUSE IT IS, UH, HIGH PROFILE AND A SIGNIFICANT VALUE.
I'M ALWAYS IMPRESSED WHEN YOU PRESENT.
UH, I ALWAYS TRY TO STUMP YOU AND I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO, YOU'RE LIKE, YOU'RE LIKE THE JOHN WICK OF AUDITS, UH, YOU KNOW,
[00:20:01]
JUST UNDEFEATABLE.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS IT POSSIBLE BASED ON, UH, HIS COMMENTS OF MOVING THAT AUDIT UP, UH, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT SOONER WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, THE TOWING AND, AND THE FACILITY? I'LL CHECK WHEN I GET BACK.
I MEAN, WE'RE IN THE, WE'RE IN THE WORK ALREADY, SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ONLY PUT SO MANY RESOURCES ON IT WHERE IT JUST BECOMES INEFFICIENT.
BUT I, I'LL CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT WHENEVER WE GET BACK.
IF, IF YOU COULD CHECK WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND FIND OUT WHEN HE THINKS IT MAY BE COMING UP FOR FUTURE COUNCIL CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT INGREDIENT TO LOOK AT.
AND BEFORE WE DO THAT, BEFORE WE CONSIDER THE ITEMS, THAT'S THE OTHER ISSUE.
YOU KNOW, WE BRING UP ISSUES DURING THE AUDIT.
SO IN CASE OUR AUDIT MAY NOT COME OUT MM-HMM.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER CONCERNS, UH, UH, ABOUT ANY OTHER AUDIT ISSUES OR, UH, HIGH PROFILE CONTRACT ISSUES THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE US ADDRESS AT THE NEXT MEETING? ANYTHING SPECIAL? OKAY, HEARING NONE, MANNY, HAVE I COVERED EVERYTHING SO FAR? AS FAR AS ONE, YOU SHOULD NEVER ASK ME WHETHER OR NOT ALL THE DETAILS HAVE BEEN, UH, OBSERVED BECAUSE, UH, GOD KNOWS I'VE MISSED SOMETHING.
BUT I I I, I, I DO HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS, UM, WITHOUT EXAGGERATION, THIS COMMITTEE IS THE ONE THAT WORRIES ME THE LEAST.
UH, I MEAN, YOU'RE, YOU'RE THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL, UH, KEVIN AND, AND, AND TROY AND, UM, WHAT'S HIS NAME? UH, NO, I'M KIDDING.
UH, THE, UH, UH, SERIOUSLY, YOU GUYS HAVE THIS LOCKDOWN AND, UM, I, I DON'T THINK WE THANK YOU ENOUGH, GUYS.
AND I'M, I'M ALWAYS VERY IMPRESSED.
WELL IN THAT CASE, BARRING ANY OTHER ERRORS I'VE MADE TODAY, I'LL SAY WE'RE ADJOURNED.
