• Great Neck Park District Officials Did Not Record All Capital Assets: NYS Comptroller (patch.com) — Great Neck residents should know that a state audit found the Park District lacked a clear property control manager and comprehensive capital-asset policy, raising risks of lost or misused equipment. District commissioners say they’re assigning a Property Control Manager, adopting new inventory software, and rolling out staff training as part of a corrective plan.
