Workshop Agenda Item No. 2
Presentation, Possible Action and Discussion Regarding a Resolution Approving
and Setting User Fees for the Parks and Recreation Department
Calendar Year 2010
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a resolution of the City Council
of College Station, Texas approving and setting fees for Parks and Recreation activities and facilities for
Calendar Year 2010.
Recommendation(s): The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and staff recommend approval of the
resolution and fees schedule as submitted.
Summary: The Parks and Recreation Department conducts annual reviews of user fees to determine
direct costs, as well as local “market” rates for individual programs and facilities. Further, the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board established a departmental fees policy statement to provide guidance in the
establishment of fees. This policy is consistent with the City’s fiscal and budgetary policy. The Board
reviewed the proposed fees on July 14, 2009 and voted 6:1 to recommend approval of the fees
submitted for Calendar Year 2010. The Board reviewed the proposed fees again on September 8, 2009
with additional changes made to include a 30% increase across the Board to Regular Rates, a 5%
commission fee for Fitness Boot Camp Services, and a $10 Outside League, Per Game Contract Fee. The
vote passed 5:3 to recommend approval of the fees as submitted.
While the Municipal Cemetery System fees are included in this fee schedule, those fees are acted upon
and recommended to the City Council by the Cemetery Advisory Committee as a separate action. These
fees are solely included in order to view the Department’s User Fees Schedule in its’ entirety.
In City-facilitated athletic programs such as baseball and soccer, the players or teams only pay to the
City the respective Field Redevelopment Fee to use City athletic facilities. In City-provided athletic
programs such as softball and flag football, the respective Field Redevelopment Fee is included in the
registration fee for players or team participation in each sport.
The policy issue is:
Should the City continue to assess fees for participation in Parks and Recreation
Department programs or use of facilities?
Budget & Financial Summary: The proposed user fees for Calendar Year 2010 include changes that are
detailed in Attachment 1 (Exhibit A). If approved, the new fees will become effective January 1, 2010.
Attachments:
1. Resolution with Exhibit A – Proposed Changes to Parks and Recreation Department Fees for
Calendar Year 2010
2. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes, July 14, 2009
3. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes, September 8, 2009

2010 Parks and Recreation Fees Summary Page
The majority of our proposed changes are geared toward the Regular Rate and the
Resident Discount Fees, as directed by Council. Regular Fees Rate were raised 30 %
across the board, with a wide range in the amount of the fees increased. Some other
rates are not proposed to increase at all.
Below is a brief overview of changes in the 2010 fees:
Adult Sports and Athletic Field Rentals – Proposed Resident Discount Rates now apply, and
some fees were adjusted. Fees for league sports were reduced to allow for the implementation
of the “Pay at the Plate” Practice.
Cemetery Fees – Rates have changed, however no Resident Discount Rate is proposed. These
fees are not being recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board because that
recommendation must come from the Cemetery Advisory Committee.
Conference Center - No Resident Discount Rate is proposed. Wi-Fi Internet Connection was a
fee added for 2010, as well as Equipment Rental Rates.
Transfer/Cancellation Fee – This fee was added to those programs that did not have this in
2009 (Lincoln Center, Pool Rentals, EXIT Teen Center Rentals, Xtra Education Classes).
Instruction Fees – The Resident Discount Rate for swim lessons is the only rate in this
category that did not increase; all other fees were raised anywhere from $10 to $40.
Lincoln Center Rates – A few rates have increased. Not all rates reflect a Resident Discount
Rate.
Pavilion Rental and Deposit Rates – All rates increased between $55 and $220, with Regular
and Resident Discount Rates now in place.
Race Equipment Rentals – Proposed Resident Discount Rates now apply, and some fees were
increased.
Swimming Pools – There is a proposed increase to pool admission and pool passes, with some
Regular and Resident Discount Rates now in place for pool rentals.
Exit Teen Center – There is no Resident Discount Rate proposed for the EXIT Teen Center,
however some rental rate increases are proposed.
Vendor Permits and Commissions – There is no Resident Discount Rate proposed, however a
fee for Fitness Boot Camp Services of 5% of Gross Sales, less the Sales Taxes, has been added.
Youth Sports – In addition to the Regular Rate and Resident Discount Rate being added, an
Outside League Field Redevelopment Fee per Child for baseball has been increased ($25 Per
Child vs. $10), and some fees were increased.

Workshop Agenda Item No. 3
Highway 6/University Dr. Tree Beautification Project
Update Presentation
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a proposed
Highway 6/University Dr. Tree Beautification Project update presentation.
Recommendation(s): Staff requests that the Council consider postponing this project
indefinitely until such time as funding for the required operations and maintenance has been
identified.
Summary: The City of College Station has a large investment in landscapes, and trees are
a critical component of that investment. With that being said, the City is committed to
making improvements in these landscapes whenever possible. The State Highway 6
Corridor is the proposed site for a major tree planting effort that would also serve the
purpose of providing significant gateways to College Station from the north and south entry
points on State Highway 6. This project becomes the first construction project to be
implemented as a part of this major tree planting effort. The City Council approved this
project on January 8, 2009.
This Tree Beautification Project final plans for construction are being discussed with Texas
Department of Transportation (TXDOT) staff since the program is focused on the State
Highway 6 Corridor that is the responsibility and falls under the jurisdiction of the state.
The AFA for this project was approved by the City Council on August 27, 2009. Upon
operations and maintenance funding being secured and Council approval, the project would
be bid out in October, 2009 followed by a Bid Award in November, 2009. The actual
construction is scheduled to begin in January 2010 and be completed by April, 2010.
Budget & Financial Summary: The funding identified for the Phase One landscape
construction of this proposed project comes from a combination of the College Station
Utilities Wind Watts Program and the CO Bonds allocated to the Gateway Beautification
Project. The cost estimate for this phase of construction is $254,474. Once the landscape
construction has been completed on a particular portion of the project, the operations and
maintenance of the completed landscape improvements would transfer from TXDOT to
become solely the City’s responsibility. The O&M for the Phase One construction has an
estimated cost of $12,500 to $25,000 per year depending on the final bids. That portion of
the project would be dependent upon future General Fund funding that has not been
identified and budgeted for.
Construction funding for the future phases of this project would be derived from dedicated
College Station Utilities Wind Watts revenues of up to $250,000 per year. The final amount
available for use would be dependent upon the public’s participation in the Wind Watts
Program. Operations and maintenance funding for future phases would be dependent upon
General Fund funding that has not been identified and budgeted for yet.

There are 13 identified
neighborhood planning

opportunities of the area.
Neighborhood planning

ing neighborhoods, and
adjacent areas of influ-
ence, where, generally, it is
important to promote and
preserve the current land

Community participation is
the most critical component
for the success of a NDC
Plan. City Staff will rely heav-
ily on citizen volunteers to
help shape the plan. There
will be a number of ways to
be involved in the planning
process both formally and
informally.
One way to be involved is
to volunteer to serve as a
member of the Stakeholder
Resource Team (SRT). During
the first phase of the plan-
ning process, City Staff will
be working with a planning
area to identify individuals
committed to the planning
process, providing feed-
back, and making sure the
plan will address the needs
and opportunities in the
planning area. This role will
be time intensive and in-
volve a number of meet-
ings.
For individuals interested in
the process, but have less
time to dedicate, a number
of public meetings will be
held throughout the plan-
ning process to provide
guidance to the Staff and a
SRT on the needs, opportuni-
ties, and goals of the area.
These meetings will be publi-
cized through direct mail-
ings, emails provided
through neighborhood and
homeowner associations, as
well as the City’s website. If
you are interested in these
meetings, feel free to con-
tact City Staff or a member
of the SRT to find out about
the agenda, location, time,
or place. Contact informa-
tion for key City Staff in-
volved in the NDC planning
process can be found on
page 4, and on the City’s
website.
There will also be opportuni-
ties to comment on drafts of
all of the elements of the
plan. Draft chapters, as well
as progress reports will be
made available throughout
the planning process to
members of the SRT, partici-
pants in public meetings,
and online.

While every area of the City
should be incorporated into
one of the planning areas,
these plans cannot all be
completed at once. During
the adoption of the Com-
prehensive Plan, these ar-
eas were not prioritized to
provide flexibility for the City
Council, City Staff, and
nomic stability that will help
to identify changes or new
opportunities that would
help to determine when an
area might be in need of an
in-depth NDC plan.
The City will be working to
complete at least two NDC
plans each year.

A typical plan will have at
least 6 chapters:
• Introduction
• Community Character
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Transportation
• Sustainability
• Implementation
A NDC Plan will cover exist-
ing conditions, issues, and
opportunities in a planning
area, any changes to land
use and character designa-
tions, the impacts the plan
goals and actions will have
on residential neighbor-
hoods, focused code en-
forcement efforts, necessary
transportation improvements
for vehicle, pedestrian, and
bicycle traffic, as well as how
the actions recommended in
the plan will be carried out
and who is responsible for
carrying out each action.
A Plan may also involve
other components depend-
ing on the unique issues of a
planning area. Where rede-
velopment issues are preva-
lent, a chapter focusing on
Economic Development
may be appropriate. Or a
Parks, Greenways, and Arts
chapter may be appropriate
where parks or greenways
are a distinct piece of the
planning area.
Overall, the NDC Plan should
be developed to create,
protect, and enhance areas
of distinction.
for each implementation. It may take several
years for all of the items to be accomplished.
The Plan Manager will also be responsible for
creating a process for the public to track
progress on the plan, and providing annual
feedback to the community and City Coun-
cil about the plan, its implementation, and
any changes happening in the area that
may influence the effectiveness of the plan.
After a NDC Plan is adopted, the implemen-
tation stage begins. Each plan will have a
Plan Manager that is responsible for tracking
the progress made on the plan.
The Plan Manager will work closely with other
City departments, as well as residents and
stakeholders in the area to identify the entity
responsible for carrying out each action rec-
ommended in the plan, as well as a timeline
What Should be in a Plan?
What happens after a plan is adopted?
How long will it take to create a plan?
The Plan process is broken
into 4 phases. The first phase
is primarily focused on
preparation work for a plan,
like creating Resource Teams
and defining the planning
area, and a citizen engage-
ment plan.
The second phase will focus
heavily on public input, issue
and opportunity identifica-
tion, and a study of existing
conditions. This phase should
take place during the fall.
A third phase will focus on
the drafting of the actual
plan chapters during the
winter. The final adoption
and implementation phase
will be during the following
spring, and ongoing for the
life of the plan.
A typical plan will probably
take between 8 and 10
months to complete, de-
pendant upon available
resources, and the complex-
ity of the issues and opportu-
nities in a planning area.
Ideally, neighborhood plans
will generally run concur-
rently with the school year
calendar for maximum pub-
lic participation.

VISION STATEMENT
College Station, the proud home of Texas A&M University
and the heart of the Research Valley, will remain a vi-
brant, forward-thinking, knowledge-based community
which promotes the highest quality of life for its citizens by
…
• ensuring safe, tranquil, clean, and healthy neighbor-
hoods with enduring character;
• increasing and maintaining the mobility of College
Station citizens through a well planned and con-
structed inter-modal transportation system;
• expecting sensitive development and management
of the built and natural environment;
• supporting well planned, quality and sustainable
growth;
• valuing and protecting our cultural and historical
community resources;
• developing and maintaining quality cost-effective
community facilities, infrastructure and services which
ensure our city is cohesive and well connected; and
• pro-actively creating and maintaining economic and
educational opportunities for all citizens.
College Station will continue to be among the friendliest
and most responsive of communities and a demonstrated
partner in maintaining and enhancing all that is good and
celebrated in the Brazos Valley. It will continue to be a
place where Texas and the world come to learn, live, and
conduct business!
A NDC Plan will become part
of the City’s Comprehensive
Plan. Although each plan will
contain its own goals, strate-
gies, and actions, they will
be tied back to the commu-
nity-wide vision for College
Station. Each action will be
measured against this vision
statement and evaluated for
its consistency with the over-
arching goals of the Com-
prehensive Plan.
Each plan will allow us to
expand on the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan by
evaluating what those goals
mean for a particular area
within College Station, since
no two areas are completely
alike. Each plan should also
uphold the Comprehensive
Plan and the integrity of the
public participation process.

Phase One of the Neighborhood Planning Process includes the pre-planning
steps that occur prior to the start of plan development. This step in the process
identifies:
The area of focus for the plan;
The team members that make up the Planning Resource Team, Staff
Resource Team, and Neighborhood Resource Team;
Known joint jurisdictional issues in the area;
A preliminary timeline of events; and
A Citizen Engagement Plan.
This report will eventually serve as an introduction chapter to the plan with
specific information about public events, and the background information
used for plan development. The report also serves as an engagement tool
during the planning process to be provided at community meetings, to
neighborhood groups, and distributed to the publ ic to encourage a
transparent and approachable planning process.
PURPOSE
Neighborhood Plans are part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. A
comprehensive plan is a city’s guidebook for how to manage change and
growth. It allows a city the opportunity to set goals for the future of the
community and insure adequate infrastructure and facilities for that future .
One of the goals of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan is to take a more

in-depth look at smaller areas - neighborhoods, districts, and corridors
– to guide growth and change at a smaller scale that promotes the
long-term stability of those areas.
AREA IDENTIFICATION
The Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area is made up
of 1,450 acres located in the geographic center of College Station.
Bounded by Texas Avenue (State Highway 6 South), Harvey Mitchell
Parkway (FM 2818), Wellborn Road (FM 2154), and Rock Prairie Road.
This area includes eight residential subdivisions,
and is home to more than 10,000 residents.
The area is surrounded by neighborhood
planning areas to the north and south, but is
also in the area of influence for Growth Area
VI and X and the Spring Creek District as
identified in the City’s Comprehensive Plan
Concept Map.
Housing and Business
The Central College Station Neighborhood
Planning Area developed over a period of
nearly 40 years. The most recent additions are
late phases of Edelweiss Estates in 2001, but the
earliest development took place in 1974 as part
of Southwood Valley at the northeast corner of
the area. Annexations took place between
1969 and 2002.
The area holds more than 1,000,000 sq. feet of
commercial and business space and 2,226
single-family homes, 534 duplexes, and 1,355
other multi-family units. The planning area is
primarily residential, but ringed by commercial
space along major corridors. Commercial
anchors are located at Harvey Mitchell
Parkway and Texas Avenue, and Rock Prairie
Road and State Highway 6 South with
moderate- to small-scale businesses and offices
along Longmire Drive, Rock Prairie Road,
Wellborn Road, and Harvey Mitchell Parkway.
Medical offices are located along portions of
Rock Prairie Road and make up a portion of
the Spring Creek District Planning Area.
Education and Institutions
Central College Station is home to two elementary schools – Rock
Prairie Elementary and Southwood Valley Elementary. All
neighborhoods in the planning area are zoned for attendance at one
of these elementary schools. Students then attend Cypress Grove
Intermediate and College Station Middle Schools located outside the
planning area. All students attend A&M Consolidated High School,
Central College Station has more than 4,000 dwelling units,
and 1,000,000 s.f. of commercial space.

entire planning area. The area is also part of two community
policing beats – Beats 60 and 80.
This area has six churches serving a variety of religious faiths.
The planning area also includes two nursing home facilities in
close proximity to College Station Medical Center on Rock
Prairie Road.
Natural Features
One hundred seventy-one acres in the planning area are identified on
the City’s Comprehensive Plan as Natural Area Protected and
Reserved. These areas generally cover the floodplain for two Bee
Creek tributaries that traverse the north and east section of the
planning area. Overall, this area is relatively flat, with a slight
downward slope from the south to north end – falling 82 feet over
11,000 linear feet (0.7% slope) with the lowest points corresponding with
the creek beds. Without direct access to discharge to these tributaries,
there are several detention ponds located in the southern section of
the planning area – all maintained by private homeowner or property
owner associations. The City has several greenways identified in the
Greenways Master Plan covering the Bee Creek Tributaries; however,
no land acquisition has taken place.
The City of College Station maintains 50 acres of park space
in this area. The planning area is part of Neighborhood Park
Zone 5 and Community Park Zone B. Overall, there are five
acres of park for every 1,000 residents.
Mobility
Central College Station is served by 42 miles of road. The
area is bounded by four arterials– Harvey Mitchell Parkway
(FM 2818), Wellborn Road (FM 2154), Rock Prairie Road, and Texas
Avenue. Within the planning area, collectors Rio Grande Boulevard,
Welsh Avenue, and Longmire Drive provide north-south vehicular
connectivity, while Deacon Drive provides the only direct east -west
connection. Brothers Boulevard, Ponderosa Drive, Southwood Drive,
Edelweiss Avenue, Navarro Road, and Balcones Drive also serve as
local collector roads.
The planning area is served by three bus systems. Texas A&M University
serves students living in this area with two bus routes that run between
7:00 a.m. and midnight on weekdays during the regular fall and spring
semesters. College Station Independent School District (CSISD) provides
buses in this area for students attending Cypress Grove Intermediate,
College Station Middle, and A&M Consolidated High schools.
The District provides limited general public service to this area along
Harvey Mitchell Parkway at Welsh and Southwood Drive.

Phase One Report | DRAFT 09-11-09
The area is served by a network of dedicated bicycle lanes, routes,
and paths. Sidewalks are also located throughout the planning area.
Community Investment
There are a number of public projects underway or planned for
construction in Central College Station. The 2008 Bond package
provided funding for improvements to the Bee Creek tributary channels
in the planning area, currently in design, and the expansion of the Larry
J. Ringer Library, tentatively scheduled to be under construction in
2012. The bond package also included funds for improvements to
Brothers Park to upgrade the jogging trail and make repairs to the
entrance sidewalk. College Station is also developing a hike and bike
trail located on the north side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway between
Welsh Avenue and Longmire Drive.
The area is also impacted by the current TxDOT widening project on
Wellborn Road. The Wellborn Road project will widen Wellborn Road to
six lanes between Graham Road and Southwest Parkway, and is
anticipated to be complete by 2011, and a reconfiguration of the
interchange at Wellborn Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. Funding
for a raised median on Harvey Mitchell Parkway between Texas
Avenue and Wellborn Road has been identified by TxDOT, but design
of the median has not yet begun (scheduled to be bid in 2011).
Selection
The Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area was chosen
for study because of its diversity of housing type and age, mix of
residential and commercial uses, opportunities for redevelopment, and
the lack of neighborhood planning focused on this area in the past. This
planning area offers the opportunity to better understand the factors
leading to changes from owner- to renter-occupied homes.
The physical boundaries of this planning area were based on the
contiguous area of neighborhood conservation identified in this area of
town in the Comprehensive Plan, and the surrounding areas of
influence. Major roads serve as effective boundaries to delineate this
area from other areas of the City. There are eight subdivisions within the
planning area, each with multiple phases. While none of those
subdivisions is exactly alike in age or character, they all share the same
roads, parks, and water lines, and are affected by the same infill,
redevelopment, and commercial development.
RESOURCE TEAMS
The advice and expertise of three advisory teams will be used
throughout the planning process - the Planning Resource Team, the
Staff Resource Team, and the Neighborhood Resource Team. These
teams will meet throughout the process to offer input and advice, and
assist with the planning process including public outreach.
Planning Resource Team
The purpose of the Planning Resource Team is to provide technical
assistance in planning and related fields, as well as oversight and

The team will serve as an advisory board for the Plan Manager during
the planning process. Members will also assist the Plan Manager in
creating a Citizen Engagement Plan and Timeline, as well as serve as
community champions for the plan by encouraging their neighbors to
become active and involved in the planning process. The initial
meeting of the Neighborhood Team was held on September 8, 2009.
Members were chosen out of a pool of interested individuals based
primarily on having as many different geographic areas of the planning
area represented, along with ensuring representation from the business
community, student residents, and institutions in the area.

JOINT JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
This area is bounded by three major TxDOT roads – Wellborn Road (FM
2154), Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818), and Texas Ave (State
Highway 6). During the planning process, the public and resource
teams should be kept informed of future plans for the expansion or
redesign of these roads and to the benefits and constraints these roads
may have on the overall vision and goals for the planning are a.
Information will need to be gathered from
TxDOT, Texas A&M University (TAMU) and CSISD
Transportation Services, as well as the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
relating to regional transportation issues that
may affect this area.
This area is home to two CSISD elementary
schools – Southwood Valley Elementary and
Rock Prairie Elementary. Just outside the
neighborhood boundary, but in the area of
influence, are A&M Consolidated High School
to the north, and College Station Middle School
to the south. These schools are integral parts of
the neighborhood and CSISD representatives
are included in the Neighborhood Resource
Team.
TIMELINE
This plan is intended to be completed between
September, 2009, and May, 2010. The adjacent
timeline is a proposed general timeline for the
process. A detailed list of draft dates for
Neighborhood Resource Team Meetings,
Community Meetings, and Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council updates are
located in Appendix A and will be updated
throughout the process.
CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT PLAN
The purpose of the Citizen Engagement Plan is
to coordinate opportunities for productive
citizen involvement in the planning effort. This
plan will identify methods to reach out directly
to citizens for participation in planning events, opportunities for media
involvement, and methods for receiving feedback about these efforts

to better adapt future planning processes.
Stakeholder Recruitment
The first step in the Engagement Plan was to identify methods to reach
members of the planning area for the Neighborhood Resource Team.
This step focused on identifying community organizations that have
networks to reach residents, and promoting the plan and recruiting for
the Neighborhood Resource Team.
Staff identified neighborhood and community organizations to
contact, developed a website, created advertising for the City’s
television channel (Channel 19), submitted information for the College
Station Utilities utility bill newsletter, and contacted local businesses and
institutions with flyers for posting. A list of organizations, businesses, and
individuals contacted are included in Appendix B. A copy of the flyer
and Channel 19 information is also included.
Public Outreach
The second step in the Engagement Plan is to identify methods to
publicize community meetings and promote neighborhood planning.
City Staff will continue to work with neighborhood and community
organizations to reach residents of the planning area, and utilize the
Neighborhood Resource Team to assist in promoting the plan to
neighbors, colleagues, and businesses.
Community meetings will also be promoted through direct mail and/or
doorhangers. This will insure that each resident and business in the
planning area has the basic information about the location, date, and
purpose of the meeting and also include contact information for the
Plan Manager and the website for additional information. Staff will
keep newsletters and websites current with information about the
planning process. Meetings will also be advertised through information
provided at previous meetings, and by direct emails to individuals that
sign up for mailing lists at previous meetings.
Media
Staff will work with the Public Communications department to
coordinate interviews and coverage of local meetings by area media
outlets.
Learning and Adapting
The final stage of the Citizen Engagement Plan is identifying methods to
receive feedback from residents and businesses about their
involvement in the plan and how best to reach citizens. Several online
surveys will be used throughout the process to allow community
members to offer feedback on planning issues, how they were
contacted, activities they felt promoted dialogue between residents,
and on the effectiveness of different types of communications they
received from the City. This feedback will a llow Staff to better focus the
next neighborhood, district, or corridor Plan, and assist Public
Communications in developing new communication strategies. Staff

Workshop Agenda Item No. 6
Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Plan
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Ty Elliott, City Internal Auditor
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City
Internal Auditor’s Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Plan.
Recommendation(s): Give the City Internal Auditor direction concerning the Fiscal Year
2010 Audit Plan and approve the plan.
Summary:
On September 8, 2009, the City Internal Auditor met with the Audit Committee to discuss
the proposed Fiscal Year 2010 Audit Plan, which included the following:
· Utility Billing Cash Handling Audit
· Purchasing Audit Follow Up
· Municipal Court Cash Handling Audit
· Fuel Asset Management Audit Follow Up
· Parks and Recreation Cash Handling Audit
· Citywide Payroll Audit
· Citywide Risk Assessment
The proposed audit plan for FY 2010 was based on the results of the Citywide Cash
Receipts/Cash Handling Questionnaire completed in August 2009, results of the Citywide
Risk Assessment completed in October 2007, and findings from previous audit work. In
addition to the audits mentioned above, time to investigate potential hotline complaints and
other miscellaneous audit work has been factored into the FY 2010 Audit Plan.
During the September 8, 2009 audit committee meeting, the Audit Committee
recommended that the proposed FY 2010 Audit Plan be brought forward to the City Council
for approval.
