"Implement measures to more accurately track cleaning product purchases on campus; because of the fragmentation of purchasing of cleaning products, there is currently no effective method in place to track total expenditures on cleaning products.
Budget: No additional expenditures are anticipated to effectively organize and track purchases already being made. Existing cost codes can likely be aggregated to better track all cleaning product purchases."
