Many residents of the city of El Cerrito are deeply grateful to Elaine Howle, our State Auditor, and her staff for conducting a review of every California city. That work resulted in the list of local governments at high financial risk, ours being #7. El Cerrito was among those that were recommended for audit. Two days ago (2/26/20), we learned that our city's audit was approved unanimously by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). Before the State Auditor's report was published, most residents had no knowledge of our city's fiscal situation. Now, we will find out the details. One final comment: in listening to the broadcast of the JLAC meeting, I was impressed by Elaine Howls expertise and her commitment to the people of California. She is an extraordinary public servant.
