This audit determines whether the Landmarks Preservation Commission is complying with the proper procedures regarding its Other Than Personal Service expenditures. The audit finds that the Commission followed the proper procedures, though there were some problems.
An audit report was filed on May 24, 2006 on the Department of Education's (DOE) compliance with fire and safety mandates in elementary schools. State law requires the schools to conduct at least 12 fire drills during the school year, of which 8 must be conducted before December 1. In addition, at least 1 of the 12 fire drills must be performed during a lunch period or should include instructions in the procedure to be followed in the event that a fire occurs during a lunch period. It was determined that DOE was generally in compliance with fire and safety regulations in most areas. However, not all schools were in compliance with the requirements, and discrepancies were discovered between fire drill records and OSID data in these schools. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
