Dear Mayor Buol:
We have reviewed the City of Dubuque's audit report for the period July 1,2004 through
June 30, 2005. There was one finding related to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) program.
Finding II-A-OS - Reporting (Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control) - The City is required to
file a financial status report each quarter to report the transactions of this program. In reviewing
these reports, we found that the City match of 25% was not properly reported on the form.
Further, in reviewing the matching spreadsheets maintained by City personnel, we found that this
documentation did not include all of the match of the City, and it did not agree to the financial
status reports.
The City's response: Lead paint staff has reviewed the qualified City match
contributions for HUD reporting and has corrected the applicable spreadsheets. Corrected Lead
Based Paint Hazard Control Program financial status reports are being generated and will be
reviewed with the Finance Director prior to submittal to HUD. The response is sufficient to
clear the finding
With this finding cleared, we consider this audit report closed for our purposes.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Kim Radice, Community Planning and
Development Representative at 402-492-3190.
Sincerely,
/)-.'v /)
