I’m very interested in a forensic accounting. I want us to consider a few different root cause analyses so that we can build better policies and procedures; I think this is important for rebuilding good governance and trust moving forward.

I would definitely expect we would share those regulars transparently. One of my goals is to build a communications plan that includes more opportunities for stakeholders to connect with board members and more active participation in forums like FOIA Gras and other local media.

I suspect that the newly constituted board will want to take a number of actions right away on the finances, but I don’t want to commit to any specific agenda item. Part of becoming an effective board is building norms, and that includes collaborating on the solutions that best serve our community and what the specifics entail. Do we rely on our current auditor, do have find a new public accounting firm with less history in D65, can we rely on Dr. Grossi?

In short, I think we we’ll end up doing something like an audit on the finances but I would want to hear from my colleagues and not presume I have all the answers or the best approach.

Thanks so much, Chris. The bar is so darn low at this point that I think any and all of what you’ve set forth would be a welcome change.
