Every City employee undergoes training on our municipal Internal Controls Policy and sign off that they participated in the training and that they understand the protocol required. Moving forward, we are placing a stronger focus on the “trust but verify” component of our Internal Controls Policy and that all employees are required to adhere to all aspects of this policy that will include random and unannounced audits of each City department. As City leaders, we want to assure the community that the administration upholds the highest levels of integrity, morals and financial accountability.
