Albuquerque City Councilors briefed on a recent scathing state audit that uncovered a cozy relationship involving a former police chief and Taser International have varied opinions on the review.
Some want to look into tightening the city's procurement codes, while one questions how much disclosure is necessary by city officials and workers who might work as contractors.
Two councilors last year requested a risk review after becoming concerned about a nearly $2 million no-bid contract for body cameras and video storage software awarded to Arizona-based Taser.
State Auditor Time Keller briefed elected officials Monday on the yearlong review that found a rampant disregard and circumventing of the city's competitive contract process. He urged the city to require the highest level of disclosure.
