Finding <br /> Cash was left unattended in MTA's breakroom and manual receipts was kept in a box under <br /> a counter. <br /> Recommendation <br /> 3.6 We recommended MTA assess security camera locations, regular monitor, and limit access to screen <br /> and recordings. <br /> Management Response <br /> MTA disagrees with the finding. MTA believes this finding should be closed, as the repair was made, but <br /> failed upon installation and due to a nationwide backorder,the camera part,the part has not be able to be <br /> installed. The camera in question is an outdoor camera facing bus vehicles and does not have an impact in <br /> relation to cash collection currently.The cameras are working in the facility protecting areas with cash as <br /> well as monitoring employees moving cash between the facility and parking lot. MTA continues to work <br /> with Johnson Controls to address this issue. <br /> Finding <br /> One person collected, counted, and reconciled cash. <br /> Recommendation <br /> We recommended MTA separate incompatible duties. <br /> Management Response <br /> MTA disagrees with the finding.The MTA has three locations where cash could be collected.At Mo'oheau <br /> Bus Terminal, along with MTA staff,there is cameras monitoring the facility, as well as contracted staff <br /> from Roberts Hawaii and Professional Security Services available during the hours of cash collection. With <br /> the limited staffing at MTA, it is not possible for MTA staff to directly provide cash verification daily with its <br /> staff based on the distance of these locations and MTA has entrusted its contractors to provide this <br /> function with random oversight via cameras and other MTA staff.This was discussed with the County <br /> Auditor office in February 2022 which acknowledged and offered suggestions which includes use of the <br /> contracted security or contracted bus operations staff due to the inability of placing a second MTA <br /> employee at Mo'oheau Bus Terminal. It is envisioned that West Hawai'i Civic Center will have two <br /> employees in that office until then,the Mass Transit Administrator&General Manager only works there <br /> once a week. <br /> 34 1 Management Response <br />
