OCA Reports

Issued: September 2009

This is an audit report on the Austin Utility Location and Coordination Committee (AULCC). This audit was approved as part of the Office of the City Auditor (OCA) FY09 service plan. OCA selected the AULCC for audit because numerous City departments and private utilities are involved with utility excavations and street repairs. During previous audits at Austin Energy, Austin Water Utility, and the Public Works department, we identified issues related to the activities for which the AULCC has responsibilities.

Our work showed that the AULCC is achieving most, but not all of its responsibilities as stated in the City Code. However, AULCC does not have performance measures to indicate how effective it is at minimizing utility conflicts.

We have issued three recommendations which will help the AULCC determine how it will carry out its mission and how to measure its effectiveness. Management concurred with all of the recommendations.
