How to read this audit

This review assesses the response document, not independently verified implementation, factual accuracy, or legal compliance. Each audit identifies its respondent and letter date. Page citations refer to the assembled response packet. Follow-up W1–G1 are editorial identifiers for unnumbered Table 1 Analysis requests, not invented jury numbering. The Healthcare District’s August 2025 letter answers the prior year’s healthcare F1/F2/R1/R2, not the identically numbered current continuity items; that audit is attached to the original investigation in 2023–2024. No standalone current Auditor response was supplied.

No concrete commitments were extracted from this response.

recommendation · R2 — Board

Updates on promised recommendations

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Agrees and supplies subsequent topic-by-topic updates in the same letter.

Audit analysis

The accompanying updates engage the recommendation. They identify both completed actions and future work; they do not establish that every original deadline was met.

recommendation · Follow-up W1 — Board

Policy review progress

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Says departments maintain regular review processes and remain on track; cites a bereavement-policy update.

Audit analysis

The update describes ongoing review but does not inventory all departments’ essential policies or establish completion by the original deadline.

recommendation · Follow-up W2 — Board

Organizational changes

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports the January 3 strong-CAO transition, May 2025 Internal Services creation, and further Development Services work beginning with a December director appointment.

Audit analysis

The update names completed steps and distinguishes unfinished reorganization.

recommendation · Follow-up W3 — Board

Training and Internal Services

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Describes orientation, required Vector Solutions training, additional role-based options, and Internal Services creation in May 2025.

Audit analysis

The update identifies programs and the new department, without measuring attendance or training outcomes.

recommendation · Follow-up A1 — Board

Financial review procedures

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports monthly automated fiscal reports, quarterly Board presentations, and a January 9, 2025 Financial Management Calendar.

Audit analysis

The response supplies concrete reporting mechanisms, while the continuation notes that the Board cannot require check-ins with the elected Auditor. It does not verify timely completion of the audit.

recommendation · Follow-up T1 — Board

Tyler implementation

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Says Tyler went live in December 2024 for Building and Planning, with Environmental Health expected in early 2026.

Audit analysis

The update separates live departments from the remaining conversion and gives a target window.

recommendation · Follow-up T2 — Board

Oracle Accounts Receivable

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports the module is live and used by Agriculture, Fire, the Auditor, and HHSA.

Audit analysis

The update names departments using the module but supplies no usage or reconciliation records.

recommendation · Follow-up T3 — Board

Personal-device review

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Cites the 2012 Information Security Policy and says its earlier promise to review all equipment usage was unnecessary.

Audit analysis

The response explains a change in position but does not demonstrate that the promised device review occurred.

recommendation · Follow-up C1 — Board

Code Compliance Program

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Describes the January 10 joint meeting, July ad-hoc committee, anticipated draft completion by the end of 2025, and later Tyler workflow changes (continued on the next page).

Audit analysis

The response gives an update, not a claim that the ordinance or workflow changes are complete.

recommendation · Follow-up C2 — Board

Reorganization and service delivery

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Says Development Services reorganization will continue with the new director in December 2025 and that Tyler already improves communication.

The update identifies future leadership work but does not give measured service-delivery results.

recommendation · Follow-up D1 — Board

Planning staffing and contract support

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports filled or repurposed positions, another recruitment, use of contract planners, and further reorganization in December.

Audit analysis

The update addresses staffing and contract support but provides no full vacancy or contract inventory.

recommendation · Follow-up D2 — Board

Building budget review

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Says the budget review will occur after the Development Services Director assumes the role in December 2025.

Audit analysis

The update acknowledges the review remains future work and gives no completion date. It does not show the earlier six-month commitment was met.

recommendation · Follow-up D3 — Board

Policy review after Tyler

County: ImplementedAudit: Addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports documented procedures, weekly reviews through June 2025, and ongoing biweekly meetings, plus building-code review cycles.

Audit analysis

The update identifies a review cadence and the relationship to system and code changes.

recommendation · Follow-up P1 — Board

Training on grievances and whistleblowing

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Describes annual review, posted forms, handbook guidance, and HR assistance; says formal grievance training is not provided because those processes are union-driven.

Audit analysis

The update explains available resources but does not establish the promised training plan for all reporting channels.

recommendation · Follow-up P2 — Board

Contract review

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Cites resolutions 2022-116 and 2024-566 and monthly reports of agreements and software contracts.

Audit analysis

The update identifies a review framework and reporting cadence, but not the results of the specifically assigned review.

recommendation · Follow-up G1 — Board

Grand-jury educational material

County: ImplementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

Mariposa County Board of Supervisors: Reports a County Counsel document titled Rules of Engagement for County Employees Invited to Appear Before the Grand Jury, posted on the intranet with email notice.
