Internal Audit Charter
City looking at implementing internal audit program
Chamber to hold public meetings on term lengthsThe Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce is planning to host two public forums to gather community input on whether the terms for mayor and city council should be extended.
The chamber’s board of directors has long advocated for longer terms of office for elected officials and voted again July 14 to support the issue, vice president Lynn Kendall said.
Ward 1 Alderman Gary Brown is pushing for the Rapid City Council to lengthen terms starting with the next election. Rapid City is one of the few communities in the state to have two-year terms, the shortest allowed under state law.
The dates and times for the forums have yet to be finalized, Kendall said.
Rapid City is moving forward with the implementation of a major new program in hopes of ratcheting up financial accountability for all city departments, services and functions.
The Legal & Finance Committee on Wednesday asked the city attorney’s office to draft a charter ordinance to create an internal audit program similar to those in other communities across the nation, including the city of Sioux Falls.
If fully implemented, the internal audit program, nicknamed “the Compass Accountability Plan,” would include hiring two full-time, in-house auditors who would be tasked with the systematic review of city operations, contracts and financial controls to identify possible cost savings and areas of improvement. The auditors would be overseen by a committee of two council members and three outside financial professionals.
“With the economy the way it is, we need to make sure our house is in order,” said Ward 1 Alderwoman Charity Doyle, who proposed the plan. “Otherwise, who knows what could happen.”
Mayor Sam Kooiker, who campaigned earlier this year on the need for better internal controls citywide, said he fully supports the proposal and hopes to have it implemented by the middle of September. The full-time employees could be hired by shifting some “floating” staff positions that are already budgeted.
“This is exciting,” Kooiker said. “This program here fits right into performance-based budgeting.”
Doyle, who took office earlier this month, said the value in internal auditing comes from being proactive, rather than reactive. Before presenting the “Compass” plan, Doyle said she had been researching the issue for four or five months, consulting with Sioux Falls and other cities and local certified public accountants.
