INTERNAL CONTROLS RE: GAS PUMPS...fun activities during weekend
Release Date: July 02, 2011


INTERNAL CONTROLS RE: GAS PUMPS AT HIGHWAY GARAGE...




Members of the Citizens Budget Commission are reviewing internal controls and all aspects of the town budget. I received the following response to an inquiry about controls re: gas pumps at the highway garage: We all have had a computer assisted gas system for probably 15 years in which the town vehicle has a computer chip in the fuel tank that registers the vehicle being gassed up and the employee must enter his employee number to activate the pump.. This is accomplished with the hook up of the gas filling hose that registers the vehicle’s computer chip so only town vehicles can use town gas pumps so the ability to fill your own car or steal gas is not possible unless there is an over ride of the system but then this is a documented event. Bottom line gas usage is very accountable in this town.

INSTEAD OF CLOSING SPRAIN RIDGE POOL ON JACKSON, SHOULD THE COUNTY HAVE RENTED OUT THE POOL DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, GENERATING REVENUE FOR COUNTY?

I sent the following letter to the County Executive and some Legislators:

There is a big sign in front of Sprain Ridge Park (off of Jackson Ave—on the Greenburgh/Yonkers border) announcing that the pool is closed during the summer of 2011. A major county asset (the pool) is not being used in 2011—disappointing many children and families.

A suggestion: If the county doesn’t have the funds to keep the pool open during the season they should consider renting the pool to a swim team, camp, private business, non profit organization or another entity. If this would be done the county would generate some additional revenue for the county government and they would also be providing children with a nice pool to enjoy—at no cost to the taxpayers. It’s a crime to close down a county pool for an entire season.
