The Finance Department and the City Hall require improved physical security. Some areas of overpayment of excise taxes have been identified; consequently, an excise tax audit is needed by the Finance Department. Additionally, the Finance Department requires upgrade of word processing software and staff training in the use of computers. o The maintenance of a separate fund fOr the Union Wharf Reconstruction is inconsistent with the working capital needs of the project, therefore, it is proposed that the Union Wharf Reconstruction project be treated as a department within the Capital Projects Fund.
