Fire partially implemented three recommendations and did not implement one; the department says it will finish by September 30, 2026.

Board of Supervisors· posted Aug 28Report

County auditors found the Fire Department still has not fully fixed how it checks whether employees remain eligible for pay bonuses, raising the risk of overpayments. The Auditor-Controller reviewed four outstanding recommendations and will track them in reports to the Audit Committee until Fire certifies it has completed them.
