Q&A - Comm. Herbert: Can the COG Commission request an audit? <br />Depending on the assessed value to the community, as the Auditor has finite <br />bandwidth; an unplanned engagement would displace a planned audit. <br />Comm, Konowicz - Is the current issue [as addressed in the June issue of <br />Environment Hawaii] regarding the Department of Housing and Community <br />Development on the radar of the Auditor? Yes- there is a federal investigation <br />currently. Who does the Auditor alert if there is evidence of potential criminal <br />behavior? If concerning a current employee, there would be an internal <br />investigation led by Department / Division head and could be turned over to HPD <br />and/or County Prosecuting Attorney. All Departments come under the auditor's <br />authority. There is a resolution on the upcoming ballot to allow for additional <br />investigative/tactical reviews with limited scope. Suggestions for COG <br />Commission recommendations - get Department buy -in that the recommendations <br />are valid, supported, and backed by a strategic action plan. [See supporting <br />document on File] Are the Departments accountable to County Auditor's <br />recommendations? In the past there have no consequences to not adopting <br />recommendations. The County Auditor has developed a remediation tracker to <br />foster accountability. The Auditor is confirmed to a six -year term with the <br />possibility of confirmation to an additional 6-year term. <br />[2:53] [7] STATUS REPORTS OF PERMITTED INTERACTION GROUPS <br />7(a) BUILDING DIVISION - PIG met, sent email to Director Pause, await <br />response <br />7(b) IT -, PIG met, focus on EPIC System <br />7(c) DEM PIG met Working with IT to design survey for all DEM employees <br />7(d) County Fleet - PIG met with John Andoh, Mass transit Administrator, <br />questions emails to Department Directors, await responses <br />7(e) Board/Commissions - PIG met; letter drafted- await meeting with Director <br />of Planning and B/C Secretary mailing list <br />7(f) Revenue - PIG met -- scheduled meeting with Director of Parks & Rec <br />[3:00] [8] FORMATION OF PERMITTED ACTION GROUP (PIG) <br />Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources (PONC) Expenditures <br />Agenda Item 8(a): To create a PIG relevant to PONC Expenditures with the <br />scope of work as identified in 8(a) i <br />Comm.
