Third Quarter 2024 Report, Documenting Inefficiencies in City Programs, Misspent Funds, Recoveries Resulting from Investigations as City Faces Budget Crisis<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk164083410"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial Nova Light",sans-serif">The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) has published its Quarterly Report for the third quarter
of 2024, which summarizes concluded investigations, inquiries, intakes, and other operations of OIG, from July 1, 2024, through September 30, 2024. This report has been filed with City Council, per § 2-56-120 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (MCC).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk164083410"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial Nova Light",sans-serif">“We publish this report as the City reckons with an annual budgeting process which, this year, must answer
for and address a deficit of nearly one billion dollars. To be sure, the highest costs at issue in OIG’s work don’t come with price tags; it is difficult to put a price on legitimacy or a price tag on accountability. When I talk about prioritizing the work
that best positions us to pay down the deficit of legitimacy at which the City of Chicago operates, that deficit is a metaphorical one, and even our most impactful work in paying down probably cannot be measured in dollars, said Deborah Witzburg, Inspector
General for the City of Chicago. “It matters, though, that we are doing that work against the backdrop of a very significant deficit of very literal dollars. I do not believe that counting dollars is the right measure for effective oversight, because transparency
doesn’t show up on a balance sheet and accountability doesn’t earn interest; Chicagoans are entitled to them all the same. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that, in this quarter alone, much of our program and policy work identified and addressed inefficiencies
in City programs and opportunities for cost savings, and our investigative work uncovered misspent funds and resulted in meaningful fines and recoveries.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
