Council may hire audit firm
As part of the City of Tacomas comprehensive performance program, the City Council will consider a resolution to hire Cooperative Personnel Services for a $120,000 performance audit of the citys personnel management system. The independent Performance Audit Committee recommended this audit to the council last year. The purpose of the audit is to review the operation, management and organizational structure of the personnel system. It is hoped that recommendations from the audit will help the city improve overall services to citizens and identify potential opportunities to reduce expenses. There will be opportunity for public comment during the meeting.
