Memo to Connie Kiriu, Legislative Auditor <br /> June 24, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Drug Enforcement Administration. When asked whether grant <br /> funds from this program could be used to conduct a program <br /> review and/or audit, G/S Aiu related that these funds are <br /> specifically for operational expenses and, more recently, for <br /> Demand Reduction programs or activities. <br /> G/S Aiu added that every year, prior to awarding grant funds <br /> (under the DCE/$P), program directors and coordinators, <br /> nationwide, reviews previous grant programs. Accomplishments <br /> of specified goals and objectives, as well as conformance of <br /> financial guidelines and restrictions are taken into <br /> consideration when determining whether an agency is awarded any <br /> grant funds. <br /> When asked about conducting a program review of our <br /> department's marijuana eradication operations, G/S Aiu informed <br /> Lieutenant Fukui that during the present, as well as past grant <br /> periods, his office has reviewed the monthly statistics and <br /> financial reports submitted by our department, and as a result, <br /> has felt that a program review was not necessary. <br /> Enclosed are copies of the two most recent final project <br /> progress reports for the Statewide Marijuana Eradication Task <br /> force (grant numbers 93-DB-12 and 95-DB-17), that were <br /> submitted to the Attorney General's Office upon termination of <br /> the respective projects. <br /> Therefore, because of the funding sources' (grantors') <br /> requirements and satisfaction with our reporting of <br /> expenditures, we did not plan to contract out for this program <br /> review. <br /> If you have any questions or need further assistance in this <br /> matter, please contact Lieutenant Chadwick Fukui at 961-2253. <br /> CF:mh <br /> cc: Councilman Curtis Tyler <br /> Harry Takahashi, Finance Director <br /> <br /> Enclosures <br /> <br />
