SERVICE IMPACTS & EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS

Enhancements

Good jobs and vibrant economy

1. Adds 1.0 FTE Performance Audit Manager and $27,000 in O&M for the purchase of computer equipment. Voters passed Measure X in November 2022, which requires the addition of 3.0 FTEs to bring the Office to a total of 14.0 FTEs. Due to the fiscal emergency, 2.0 FTEs were frozen. This additional 1.0 FTE Performance Audit manager supports the Office in its workload for increased mandated responsibilities compared to current service levels, but not as far as intended through Measure X.
   • Equity Consideration: In keeping with City-wide priorities, the City Auditor's office has included equity as one of its core values in its Audit Manual and annual risk assessment, further solidifying its commitment to performing work that might directly impact Oakland's most vulnerable populations. In planning performance audits, the Office of the City Auditor’s team considers equity issues to address in the audit objectives. This position will support the Office in its increased oversight of how public dollars are spent, for the benefit of Oakland’s most vulnerable populations getting the services they need.
