Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partially disagrees: accepts unreimbursed time and General Fund subsidy, says recovery varies and identifies counter inquiries and zoning-ordinance work as reasonable nonbillable activity.

Audit analysis

Accepted subsidy and disputed implication of fully recoverable staff time are clear, with concrete task examples. Does not substantiate or replace the approximate 60% figure with a dated analysis.
