In 1994, Gila County voters passed a
half-cent sales tax to pay for highway and street improvements and
transportation projects. The County has taken some steps to better
demonstrate the impact of the transportation excise tax, and is taking
additional steps to do so. The County should continue to work toward
tracking excise tax expenditures separately from other Road Fund
expenditures using its newly implemented accounting system. Further, this
audit questions the appropriateness of some expenditures made with monies
restricted for street and highway purposes or transportation projects,
including excise tax revenue. The County should work with the County
Attorney to determine whether any Road Fund monies were spent
inappropriately and how to reimburse the Road Fund if any monies were spent
inappropriately.
