The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future.

There are many design steps and procedures to create in order for implementation to be successful, such as automated workflow and imaging of documents. There is also a considerable amount of training that needs to be conducted for all County departments, to ensure consistent and informed use of the system.

Napa County Responses to Grand Jury Report Napa County's Financial Gatekeeper The Auditor-Controller Fiscal Year 2010-2011
The Auditor-Controller does not publish a brief summary of the County's financial condition. Response, County Auditor-Controller. The Auditor-Controller agrees with this finding. Napa County Responses to Grand Jury Report Napa County's Financial Gatekeeper The Auditor-Controller Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Responses to Recommendations: Recommendation #1 County departments start to use the CAL-Card Response, County Auditor-Controller. This recommendation requires further analysis due to the potential risks associated with county issued credit cards. There are definite efficiencies and advantages to using the CAL-Card, however allowing all departments to use them may not be in the best interest of the County. The Auditor-Controller supports very limited and highly controlled use of the CAL-Card and is in the process of recommending a pilot program for a small number of departments with policies approved by the Board of Supervisors prior to program implementation. The Auditor-Controller anticipates implementation of this pilot program by December 2011, pending available resources.
