Audit-acious

With the Home National closure story getting most of the attention, the performance audit of the city of Ark City is getting a little overshadowed. But this is a big deal, and could reshape city operations if recommendations are followed through. City hall reporter, Andrew Lawson, is doing a yeoman's job of covering this thing in detail and getting the info to the public. Here's his second story, which covers street repair.

Remember a few years ago when the city hired a consultant to create a street repair program? Sounds kind of familiar. As I recall, though, that proposal was very costly.

The audit covers lots of interesting stuff, including recommendations on water billing and computer repairs, which will be featured later this week.
