How to balance a checkbook with no money said...

The new way the city does this check ledger is 100% bullshit. We see the check amount and to who it is paid, but the why is missing?

Another way to hide stuff from the taxpayers!

758 Odd change in light of the audit results? Quick scan of Item 7 Single Audit says the auditors found significant deficiencies in the city's financial reporting and controls. The Audit refers repeatedly to the potential for misappropriation of funds due to sloppy methods. The city accepts each finding and cites short staffing as the excuse and states they are now fully staffed. Yeah, folks, nothing to see here, let's just move along, this is Pacifica!

if "discrepancies", "deficiencies" or "Easter bunny got it" run back to 2003..will prior auditors re-state audits??

1237 Of course not. And it would be foolish to limit our concern to an improperly documented inter-fund loan in 2003 for some 2 million when this audit describes very recent and very significant deficiencies in this city's financial controls. It would be foolish, but fools have fans. Nothing will come of any of this because the city wants nothing to come of it, inter-fund loans keep this city going, the sloppy bookkeeping was due to a shortage of sloppy bookkeepers, and hey kids, let's move forward! Now, who gets the next award?

The Rents Too Damned High said...

Why are the Pacifica taxpayers paying for Tinfow's Ocean View Apartment above Eureka Square?? She has zero intention of moving here and she can't come in early leave late to miss the traffic. She can't even take Bart in and work on the Bart Train. Little Ms Princess, has to spend more taxpayer money!! You have an assistant city manager who probably does 80% of your work. Your making $200,000 pay your own damned rent!!

940, General Manager Lorie Tinfow has put together the team that may help save this City. The contract is here, click the printout and view. Annual salary $190,000, monthly relocation allowance $2,000.
And as expected, according to you, she has chosen to live with a view and the sound of the ocean. Great location!

940 approximately, regarding City Agenda Item 2, City disbursements: Allowed employee expenses incurred in the course of doing one's job are not the same as employee bonuses. And these expense ledger payments are not identified as "bonuses", rather they are identified as "expenses".
You may have a point however, that it might be better for the City to provide better disbursement detail on their ledger.
