March 28, 2022

Senator Mark W. Koran, Chair, called the Legislative Audit Commission (LAC) meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. The purpose of the meeting was to approve the final topics for the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) to evaluate in 2022, as recommended by the Evaluation Subcommittee. Chair Koran asked Judy Randall, Legislative Auditor for OLA, to give an overview of the results of the previous subcommittee topic selection meetings. Ms. Randall briefly described the results of those meetings and listed the final topics chosen for consideration:

1. Grants to Nonprofit Organizations
2. Programs Supporting Minnesotans Who Are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
3. RentHelpMN and COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program
4. Southwest Light Rail Transit
5. Sustainable Building Guidelines

Chair Koran then asked members for questions or comments. Representative Hansen asked if Senator Kiffmeyer, as Chair of the Evaluation Subcommittee, would like to move the five topics for final approval by the LAC. Senator Kiffmeyer so moved the five topics to the LAC. A roll call vote was taken to approve the five topics for OLA to evaluate in 2022. The motion passed unanimously.

Chair Koran then thanked all members for their work in the topic selection process. With no further discussion, Chair Koran adjourned the meeting at 8:38 a.m.
