DISCUSSION
payment to the Orange County
Senior Mobility Program from fiscal
subject to nonsubstantive changes
The City of Santa Ana has an agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
to provide funding for the Senior Mobility Program. Periodically, OCTA conducts an audit of the
program to review the monthly reports provided by the City, which indicate the expenditures
associated with the program. During the most recent audit that concluded in December 2015, OCTA
made a determination that certain excursions provided to seniors are not within the scope of the
agreement. OCTA calculated a total of $71,267,05 of service expenditures that are not within the
scope of the agreement from fiscal years 2011 -12 through 2015 -16.
The $71,267.05 amount covered the transportation cost to take Santa Ana Seniors to shop for
groceries and 46 excursions, which included only seven excursions to either a winery or a casino
over a five -year period. The City made OCTA aware of these excursions as part of the monthly
reports that were submitted. Additionally, OCTA has taken partial responsibility for not informing the
City sooner that these excursions are not allowable. As a result of the audit, OCTA has determined
that the City needs to reimburse OCTA for $71,267.05 of expenditures that were paid under the
agreement.
