Findings and Recommendations 3 findings

F33
The Oversight Board reviewed and considered, but did not approve the ROPS at the first meeting. Several members of the Board voiced their concern that the ROPS was not sufficiently documented, nor did the County Auditor certify the ROPS. The ROPS was certified at the second meeting. Auditor-Controller: Disagree. I have no direct knowledge of what was said at the Oversight Board meeting. Regarding the lack of Auditor certification: The Auditor-Controller was unable to certify the ROPS prior to reviews by the State Department of Finance and by an outside auditor. We had no basis for certification at that time.
