Impact analysis
Trading an outside audit for a staff report may save some money, but taxpayers get less independent verification of election operations.
City officials get more control over the review and avoid an outside auditor poking around while the clerk is out.
Voters and transparency advocates lose an independent check on elections—especially with the clerk on leave and a state probe ongoing.
