FY2020 GLENDALE ONBOARD PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT - FINAL Ms. Knudsen presented the final version of the Glendale Onboard Transportation Program Annual report for Fiscal Year 2020. The draft report was presented to the CTOC at the February 2021 Commission meeting. Commissioner Marsh noted that one of CTOC's goals was to monitor this report, but he did not see how he could pass judgment on the report. Commissioner Marsh stated the CTOC does not perform an accounting audit of the report but could review it to see if the tables make sense and there was less money coming in than going out, but is unsure as to how the CTOC could affirm the report. Chair Fernandes inquired as to who prepared the report and if the report was audited. Mr. Adabala explained the data is provided by the Finance Department and Ms. Knudsen compiles the report. Mr. Adabala stated that an external auditor audits the City's finances and the Transportation Sales Tax Fund goes through an additional audit every three years. Mr. Adabala explained the report presented was a summary report; however, the public has access to the details on the City's website and staff can send the Commissioners a link to find this information. Chair Fernandes noted the Commissioners were not professional auditors and have to rely on the auditors, who are CPAs, to look for fraud, waste, and abuse. Mr. Sage announced that staff is requesting a CTOC action on the report. Mr. Sage relayed that it is CTOC's role to review the summary report at a high level and recommend it to Council if the report is in order.
