Aviation Grants Management
Released: June 2010 Download the Full Report here Download highlights here We undertook this audit because use of federal recovery act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funds is subject to special procurement, tracking, reporting, and transparency requirements. Aviation has been awarded $34 million of the city’s $86 million recovery act grant funding as of April 21. |

We found:
- The department could strengthen fraud prevention and detection efforts by training employees in fraud awareness and promoting vendors’ use of the city’s hotline
- Aviation did not follow some recovery act provisions specific to project planning and procurement because the projects receiving funding were under way before the city entered into grant agreements with the federal agencies
- Aviation reported no spending or job creation for the apron in its first quarter report and has yet to report spending or job creation for the baggage inspection system
- Legislation appropriating the funds delayed the reporting process
