DD-11-12 We audited public assistance (PA) grant funds awarded to the City of Paso Robles, California (City). Our audit objective was to determine whether the City accounted for and expended Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant funds according to federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. The City received a PA award of $6.6 million from the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA), 1 a FEMA grantee, for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and permanent repairs to facilities damaged as a result of the San Simeon earthquake of December 22, 2003. City officials accounted for FEMA grant funds on a project-by-project basis, as required. However, they did not comply with federal regulations and FEMA guidelines for $1,110,952 in project charges. Table 1 summarizes our questioned costs.

DD-10-18 The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans is a division of the Roman Catholic Church and is the second-oldest diocese in the United States. The Archdiocese encompasses 8 civil parishes in the New Orleans metropolitan area arid includes 108 church parishes. In addition to the religious facilities of each church parish, the Archdiocese also owns primarily non-religious facilities including school buildings, elderly and disabled persons housing, and charitable assistance buildings. Hurricane Katrina's high winds and flooding caused extensive damage to many of the Archdiocese's primarily non-religious buildings. The Archdiocese accounted for disaster costs on a project-by-project basis, as required. However, the Archdiocese did not always follow federal procurement standards, arid its claim included $520,952 in ineligible costs for markups on contract costs ($510,328) and costs not incurred ($10,624).

DD-10-11 We audited Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds awarded to the City of Kettering, Ohio (Report Number DD-09-14), the City of North Royalton, Ohio (Report Number DD-10-7), and the City of Bucyrus, Ohio (Report Number DD-10-09), between March 2009 and April 2010. During these audits, we identified conditions that warranted further examination. OEMA did not always comply with FEMA guidelines when aggregating properties into HMGP projects because FEMA Region V did not enforce its guidelines. As a result, certain properties did 11ot meet HMGP eligibility requirements. Additionally, FEMA and the state did not meet all required project submission and approval timeframes, which delayed the obligation ofproject funds and the implementation of approved mitigation work.
