The City Council's Audits and Governmental Efficiency Committee agreed with the proposal from Controller Wendy Greuel to train workers to recognize waste and fraud. Workers who ignored or failed to report problems would face disciplinary action under the plan.

"What's important about this is that we can learn from each other on where the problems are and what we can do to deal with waste, fraud and abuse," Greuel said.
