LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler has ordered an audit into the finances of the city’s golf program after two employees were suspended following an investigation.

The mayor says the investigation showed an employee might have benefited from a contract that was not approved by a city director with the authority to authorize such a contract. Beutler says employee’s supervisor might also have known of the arrangement.

The mayor says the amount in question is around $3,000.

Both employees, who were not identified, were suspended without pay for up to 30 days.

Beutler announced the audit during a news conference on Wednesday on his proposed budget.
