Auditor finds PARD employee improperly used rec center for birthday party - Austin Monitor
Briefly

The auditor's report detailed a breach of city policy by Mark Vasquez, who organized a personal event in violation of regulations, attempting to backdate reservations.
Vasquez admitted to the auditors that he had violated policy, stating he wouldn't allow others to do the same, yet failed to follow the rules for his event.
Despite correcting his reservation record and making a partial payment, auditors concluded that Vasquez misused his position to gain personal benefits.
The incident underscores the importance of compliance with city codes, especially in positions of authority, where personal privileges should not be prioritized over public trust.
