OLYMPIA — The Office of the Washington State Auditor recently completed an accountability audit of Clallam Conservation District.
The audit concluded that the conservation district was in full compliance “… with applicable laws, regulations, and its own policies, and provided adequate controls over the safeguarding of public resources,” district officials said last week.
Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District, said there were no findings or recommendations from state officials.
The audit — examining 2015, 2016 and 2017, with revenues of $989,300, $1,235,700, and $2,048,600, respectively — is the conservation district’s second consecutive audit with no findings or recommendations; the previous audit was for the three years prior.
Audit reports are available for review at portal.sao.wa.gov/Report Search.
Clallam Conservation District relies almost entirely on grants, mostly from the state, for funding, district officials have said. Revenues vary greatly from year to year, depending on projects implemented and grants received.
A five-member board of unpaid supervisors oversees district operations. The district employs two full-time and two half-time people.
