A new city audit reveals that 30% of equipment is missing from rec. centers in Chattanooga.

More than $38,000 dollars worth of equipment bought in the last two years couldn't be found.

That includes flat-screen TVs, laptops, cameras and video consoles.

The study also showed that several staff members were violating state law by failing to document minor equipment purchases.

And the Westside Center was so poorly documented that it's staff couldn't find 60 percent of its equipment.

Now the city council is asking why it should approve more money for the rec. centers, if the centers can't manage what they already have.

The mayor's staff says the city will now require quarterly audits, and if inventory can't be accounted for, staff members will be disciplined.
