employees of the cities with regard to the implementation of
those contracts.
During the audit years, Mrs. Harrison was in her office at
one of petitioner’s facilities (and, after April 1997, at the
facilities of a related corporation) an average of two to three
times per week. On occasion, she also took work home. Her work
consisted in part of filing and maintaining historic company
records. She also looked over proposed trash hauling contracts
before signature, and she reviewed bills and signed checks
prepared by others in payment of those bills. She was the only
officer with authority to sign checks without a countersignature.
On occasion, she attended meetings arranged by one or more of her
sons with drivers or other employees where her fluency in Spanish
was of use. In addition, she met with bankers in connection with
her loan guaranties. Her attendance at those meetings usually
occurred after the loan terms had been negotiated but before the
final decision to go ahead with the loan. Including her public
relations activities, Mrs. Harrison worked 40 or more hours per
week on petitioner’s behalf.
Mrs. Harrison was 79, 80, and 81 years old during the audit
years.
