- Review and approve Audit Committee recommendations regarding:

Commissioner Carr moved to accept the audit. Commissioner Givens seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
- Report on revisions to Internal Audit work plans for 2013 and 2014. Audit Chairman McAfee reported that after selection of a new audit firm for internal audit services in FY2014, all parties agreed it was a better use of agency funds and contractor hours for the new vendor to develop the Audit Plan for 2014. No action required.
