Audit Shows Need for City Reforms

Posted on 30 September 2008 by Antonio D. French

According to a new report, the president of St. Louis’ board of aldermen drives a $25,000 city-purchased sedan with such luxury options as a heated leather steering wheel and seats.

President Lewis Reed he uses the city-owned vehicle for personal use.

Those are among the claims made by State Auditor Susan Montee in reports released Tuesday on four areas of city government. She says additional reports will come later from the ongoing audit.

A citizens group requested the audit.

Montee’s office also found that some city departments may be making what they term emergency purchases to buy such things as a Sno-cone machine, fleece blankets and magnetic baseball schedules.
