In an interview, investigators said the employee admitted to using the city computer for church work and attributed the decision to their home wireless network malfunctioning.

A Nov. 10 report by the auditor’s office substantiated similar allegations against an employee in the city’s Department of Social Services.

In that case, investigators said they reviewed the employee’s emails and computer and found the employee was using city equipment to create “the church’s monthly meeting agenda, programs, minutes, pastoral comments, church constitution and bylaws, and working on financial statements related to the church.”

In an interview with investigators, the employee acknowledged working as an administrative support person for the church and its pastor and admitted to working on the church’s business during city time, according to the report.

In both cases, the city auditor’s office forwarded the report to the city’s chief administrative officer, Selena Cuffee-Glenn, and recommended “appropriate action be taken against the employee.”

Dalal declined to identify either of the employees or the churches they were doing work for, citing confidentiality requirements.
