With the city facing a $5 billion shortfall in funding for needed projects, its auditor says better efficiency is crucial.
A new audit finds San Diego frequently approves city infrastructure projects prematurely and without proper vetting, which can make them more expensive and significantly delay their completion.says the problem is particularly concerning as San Diego faces a $5 billion shortfall in funding for crucial infrastructure projects over the next five years.
Whether a project was adequately vetted was based on the difference between initial cost estimates and revised cost estimates once city engineers and other officials had fully analyzed it. If the cost estimate after full analysis was more than 50 percent higher than the initial estimate, a project was deemed inadequately vetted.
It also recommends city officials comb through all projects in the capital improvement plan to make sure they are still financially feasible and fit with the city’s goals and priorities. The City Council unanimously approved a complex scoring system and commitment to gather more feedback on projects from underserved areas
Part of the problem, according to the audit, is a City Council policy that has “vague language that does not require realistic and defined project estimates when the council approves partially funded new capital improvement projects.”
