Good morning, Francis Shea with uh Supervisor Connie Chan's office.

Uh supervisor apologizes she's not able to be here.

Um I am here to request the committee support uh on this motion uh directing an amendment to the uh uh the audit schedule for the budget and legislative analysts uh to perform a performance audit on the sheriff's office.

Um Mr.

Dan Goncher from the BLA's office can provide a little bit more detail in addition to what is in the motion about um both the details of the motion as well as the timing.

So I will pass it on to him.

Uh Vice Chair Sauter, Dan Goncher from the Budget and Legislative Analysts Office.

Uh so um here to speak about this audit motion.

I just want to give some context.

Um under the board rules that we are required to provide the Board of Supervisors with a proposed audit schedule by January 15th every year.

So that that was sent out to the board.

Um and that provided some suggestions for audit topics.

Um that started a conversation with the chair of the of this committee.

Um and that uh is my understanding is how uh the audit motion that is on the agenda today was proposed um to uh conduct a performance audit uh of the sheriff's office in this coming year.

Um the audit motion details some specifics um with most of our performance audits.

It's they are either program-wide or department wide, they're pretty broad scopes, and we go through a process, an initial stage of the audit where we narrow down what we see as the high risk areas.

Um oftentimes though the audit motions um that are passed by the board include specific things um directing us, you know.

It yes, do an overall performance audit of this department, but please make sure you look at these things, and some of those things are outlined here.

Um this specific audit motion.

The conversation I think started with looking at overtime outside of the police department because the BLA conducted a police department overtime audit uh a few years ago.

Um and Sheriff's Office is one of the larger departments that has overtime and it's been a perennial budgetary issue for for the department.

I'm available for any questions on this or or the audit schedule.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And that's very helpful.

Thank you both for the context.

Um with that, let's please go to public comment.

Yes, members of the public who wish to speak on this item should line up now along the side by the windows.
