  • OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK AUDIT, FINANCE & ENTERPRISE COMMITTEE

    Mesa, AZ
    Minutes

    The Audit, Finance & Enterprise Committee of the City of Mesa met on October 30, 2014, at 8:01 a.m. to hear a presentation on a Fire Prevention audit conducted by City Auditor Jennifer Ruttman to evaluate whether internal controls reliably applied, managed, and tracked fee-based service revenues. The audit identified four findings regarding inspection scheduling and resource constraints; the Fire Prevention division had been downsized, resulting in reduced inspection frequency for high-risk occupancies from every two years and medium-risk occupancies to every three years. The audit recommended the Fire Department reassess its available resources and establish a realistic service delivery plan, with Committee members discussing potential options including outsourcing to the private sector or utilizing regional and certification teams, though the department expressed a preference to retain fire inspection services in-house.
