Summary
The PICA Board convened on November 17, 2015, to discuss major financial oversight issues, including a review of PICA’s annual audit report. Executive Director Harvey Rice reported that the audit resulted in an unmodified opinion, with no material misstatements. The Board discussed City overtime spending, with a particular focus on costs associated with the Pope’s visit, which exceeded original estimates and required further reimbursement from the Vatican. The Board also raised concerns about the City’s new $83 million Unified Call Center contract, questioning its compliance with the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement. The meeting concluded with discussions on the upcoming PICA fall conference on municipal budgeting best practices.
