A representative of the City Auditor's Office reported to the True Commission committee that a follow‑up review on the Kids Hope Alliance (KHA) grants audit cleared the last remaining finding.

The auditor's office representative said the original audit identified 24 items; a prior follow‑up cleared 23 and ‘‘the remaining issue’’ — grants not being closed in a timely manner — has now been resolved. ‘‘This audit will be closed with no further follow ups on that,’’ the auditor’s representative told the committee.

Why it matters: Committee members said they want clarity on how tens of millions in taxpayer funds routed through the Kids Hope Alliance are expended and asked staff to invite a KHA representative to the next meeting with documentation.

Commissioner comments at the meeting emphasized oversight and transparency. One commissioner asked whether the auditor’s office could provide KHA reports in advance so commissioners could review them and prepare questions. Other commissioners noted that additional review could identify potential waste and asked the auditor’s office and commission staff to arrange a KHA briefing.

The committee did not take formal action beyond requesting the representative and documentation for the next meeting. The auditor’s office representative said the full audit report and executive summary are distributed with committee materials and are available on the auditor’s website.

Ending: Committee staff agreed to request that Kids Hope Alliance provide an overview and supporting reports before the next meeting so commissioners can review expenditures and ask specific questions.
