Audit Committee today received a report reviewing the City’s buying practices for commercial vehicles and the annual report on the Auditor General’s Fraud and Waste Hotline.
The Review of the City’s Practices for the Procurement of Commercial Vehicles found that while the City saved $159,000 in capital costs and there were savings in operating costs from reduced fuel usage from the overall purchase of 26 vans, some elements of the fleet procurement process could be improved.
City management agreed with all eight recommendations from the Auditor General to ensure thorough information gathering and analysis is always done when buying vehicles, brands are not specified in procurement documents unless required, and that corporate-wide procedures are followed.
The Auditor General’s annual Report on the Fraud and Waste Hotline shows a 33-per-cent decrease in cases called or sent in to the hotline during 2017, compared to 2016. In total, 192 reports were made to the hotline, 60 per cent from the public and 40 per cent from City employees. The hotline was first established in 2005.
For the small number of incidents involving improper behaviour, management responded with a range of corrective action, including discussions with employees, suspensions and, in a few instances, employees resigning, retiring or being dismissed.
These reports will be considered by City Council on Wednesday, July 11.
