The audit originally came out in November 2021, finding several concerns involving GRU.
According to the report, GRU has significantly high debt compared to other municipal utilities.
The audit also found the city lacked transparency and accountability, and noted numerous problems with the Reichert House Youth Academy.
Last November, the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee sent a letter to the city, stating their 2020-2021 fiscal report was late by almost four months.
