Re: Fairport Public Library - Corrective Action Plan Submission

Report of Examination 2014M-354

Dear Sir / Madam:

Please accept this letter as the Fairport Public Library Board of Trustee’s (the “Board”) Corrective Action

Plan in response to your Report of Examination #2014M-354.

For each recommendation included in the audit report, the following are our corrective actions taken or

proposed. For recommendations where corrective action has not been taken or proposed, we have

included the following explanations.

Recommendation #1: Establish written policies and procedures for Library financial operations

including key financial areas and investments.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Although OSC audit staff was not able to provide a comprehensive list of policies that should be

established relating to financial operations, we have reviewed the policies of various libraries and

municipal organizations and received assistance from our CPA to develop a list of policies. Most are in

development and will be completed by the end of 2015. Going forward, the Board will annually review

and re-adopt the Library’s key financial policies during its Organizational Meeting.

Page 10: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

The following policies were in place prior to the start of the OSC Audit:

Transfer of funds policy

Procurement Policy (GML §103)

Fund Balance Policy

Credit Card Policy

The following policies have been developed as a result of the audit report:

Investments and Deposit Policy (GML§§10 and 11) – adopted by the Board on 7/14/15

Claims Audit Policy and Procedure – adopted by the Board on 8/11/15

Conflicts of Interest – adopted by the Board on 8/11/15

Waiver of Fees and Fines – adopted by the Board on 8/11/15

Travel and Conference – adopted by the Board on 8/11/15

Whistle Blower– adopted by the Board on 8/11/15

The following policies are in development and will be in place by year end:

Cash Handling

Capital Asset Control

Implementation Date:

Some new policies have been adopted. Additional policies are being developed and will be adopted by

the Board on or before December 31, 2015.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

Board of Trustees and Library Administration

Audit Recommendation #2: Establish and implement effective claims audit procedures to ensure that

the Board audits and approves all claims for payment before disbursements are made.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Library representatives and Fairport Central School District (the “District”) representatives are working

cooperatively to revise the existing claims audit/payment procedure so that all Library-specific claims are

reviewed and approved by the Board prior to issuance of payment. Several categories of payments

(payroll, utilities, lease payments, payroll-related benefits, etc.) which make up over 75% of the

Page 11: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Library’s budgeted expenditures have been categorically exempted from monthly pre-approval by past

OSC opinion. The Board intends to authorize the payment of those claims without monthly approval. All

other claims will now be processed each month, with the Board authorizing their payment at a duly called

meeting. Following the Board’s approval, the District will be given authorization to issue payment.

Implementation Date:

The Library will implement the new procedure on or before October 31, 2015. The Library is currently

in the final phases of a facility renovation project which is scheduled to be completed during October 2015

and our staff has requested that we postpone this new procedure until it is back in a functioning work

space.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board, Library Administration, and the District, as custodian of funds

Audit Recommendation #3: Ensuring that a Library official certifies the payroll before it is processed

and paid by the District and that the Library is paying the appropriate amount in payroll taxes.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Library representatives have met with District representatives to devise a procedure to meet the need to

certify payroll in advance of payment. Working collaboratively, a procedure has been devised to attain

this goal. The District will generate a report which details each of the Library’s payroll transactions that

pay period before each payroll is completed. The Library Director or her designee from the Library will

then certify the payroll report before payments are made. The payroll tax error has been resolved and no

future errors are expected.

Implementation Date:

The Library will implement the new procedure on or before October 31, 2015.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board, Library Administration, and the District, as custodian of funds

Page 12: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Audit Recommendation #4: Formally authorizing the opening and closing of Library bank accounts.

Implementation Plan of Action:

The Fairport Public Library Board of Trustees will continue to authorize the opening and closing of all

Library bank accounts and ensure that each such authorization is formally documented in the Board

minutes and that supporting documentation is retained in the Library’s files.

Implementation Date:

Accomplished

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board and Library Administration

Audit Recommendation #5: Ensure that designated Library officials have read-only access to the

Library’s computerized accounting records and routinely review and monitor recorded activity.

Implementation Plan of Action:

The District will designate a computer in the District Office that Library officials can use to access

accounting records and generate reports to routinely review and monitor activity. The District will also

produce standard monthly reports and forward them to the Library. The Library Director will report to

the Board on this information and the Board will review the reports monthly.

Implementation Date:

The Library will implement the new procedure on or before September 30, 2015.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board, Library Administration, and the District, as custodian of funds

Audit Recommendation #6: Ensure that designated Library officials receive (or have on-line access

to) and review monthly bank reconciliations along with bank statements and canceled check images.

Page 13: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Implementation Plan of Action:

The Library Director will receive a copy of the bank statement on a monthly basis Library’s bank

statement s will be redirected to the Library Director and the Library Director will meet with a District

representative monthly to review the Library’s bank statements and monthly bank reconciliations, which

will continue to be prepared by the District as custodian of the Library’s funds.

Implementation Date:

The Library will implement the new procedure on or before September 30, 2015.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

Library Director and the District, as custodian of funds

Audit Recommendation #7: Ensure the Director requires Library employees to enter all cash receipts

into the System and routinely generate, review, and reconcile the System cash receipt report to the cash

register and bank deposit records.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Recognizing that cash receipts which are not entered into the Integrated Library System (the “ILS”) are a

very small portion of the cash received by the Library, procedures will be formally written to clarify that

all cash receipts related to the functions of the Monroe County Library System (“MCLS”) ILS will be

entered into the ILS, as is current practice. The Library will adapt and begin to utilize the Rochester Public

Library model of audit trail reports generated from the ILS.

All cash receipts that are taken over the desk have been and will continue to be recorded in the cash

register. Formal procedures related to handling cash collected from the coin-op copier will be established

to ensure that all amounts collected are reconciled to the report of the number of copies made.

MCLS is in the process of generating and issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new ILS for all

system members. This process is outside of the control of the Library, but one of the identified goals of

RFP is to select an ILS with a more robust cash handling system. At this point, it is not efficient or cost

effective to record cash transactions that are not related to the ILS in the System, so that solution will need

to wait for the selection and implementation of a new ILS by MCLS.

Page 14: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Implementation Date:

Once MCLS has completed its RFP process and selected a new ILS, the Library will review the ILS’s

capabilities and determine what modifications, if any, will be made to our current procedures.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

Library Administration

Audit Recommendation #8: Implement a policy or procedures requiring consistent handling of any

waivers of patron fines or fees, including supervisory approval.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Staff has developed and will implement a policy and specific procedures relating to the consistent handling

of any waivers of patron fines or fees.

Implementation Date:

A policy has been adopted. The Library will implement the new procedures on or before October 31,

2015.

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

Library Administration

Audit Recommendation #9: Develop a long-term plan that sets forth the Library’s financial objectives

and goals.

Implementation Plan of Action:

Library officials will develop a more forward-looking long-term financial plan that sets forth the Library’s

financial objectives and goals, and will consider utilizing the OSC template for a four-year budget plan.

Implementation Date:

The Library will implement the new procedure on or before October 31, 2015.

Page 15: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board and Library Administration

Audit Recommendation #10: Adopt budgets with realistic estimates of revenues, expenditures and the

amount of fund balance that will be available and used as a funding source.

Implementation Plan of Action

The Library will continue to adopt budgets with realistic estimates of revenues, expenditures, and the

amount of fund balance that will be available and used as a funding source. Fund balance use is, and will

continue to be, a year-by-year decision.

As noted in our response to the audit, we believe that the audit’s analysis of our fund balance does not

adequately reflect our need to maintain sufficient reserves to fund our operations while we are waiting for

the school district to collect taxes in the July through October time frame. A significant portion of our

fund balance is maintained in connection with that operational need and, without it, we could be forced to

engage in short-term borrowing at additional cost to the taxpayers. Moreover, as we explained, we

continue to be in the process of a capital improvement project and, in accordance with Governmental

Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, had previously assigned certain portions of the fund

balance for use in connection with that project. While we have been closely monitoring the allocation of

our fund balance for the past three years at the budget committee level, we will add clear communication

regarding that fund balance monitoring in our Board minutes as well.

The fund balance policy will be reviewed and updated annually.

Implementation Date:

Accomplished

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board

Audit Recommendation #11: Develop a plan to use the unexpended surplus funds in a manner that

benefits the Library’s taxpayers, such as financing one-time expenses or setting aside portions for

specific future capital purposes.

Page 16: A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE … · 2015-11-03 · A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FAIRPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27,

Implementation Plan of Action:

The Library recently demonstrated, very effectively, how the Board planned for and utilized unexpected

fund balance to help finance the renovation of the Library’s existing facility. We agree with OSC’s

recommendation on this point, and are pleased that our actions are consistent with the recommendation.

In the future, the Board will ensure these decisions are clearly documented in the Board minutes so that

the taxpayers are aware of our efforts to maximize benefit to them.

Implementation Date:

Accomplished

Person(s) Responsible for Implementation:

The Board
