LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln City Councilman Trent Fellers has proposed revamping the city’s audit advisory board by giving the City Council more control over the group, and ensuring that it conducts at least one performance audit per year.

The proposal calls for the new audit committee to do performance audits, rather than financial audits so the council will have a better view of departmental operations. The proposal will be introduced Monday, and discussed at a public meeting at an April 6 council meeting.

The original audit advisory board was created at the suggestion of Mayor Chris Beutler after he took office in 2007. That group was only used for four audits since its creation and has not had any assignments for a year and a half. The board sent the city a memo in mid-March that offered suggestions for future audits.
