City Council Regular Session
The meeting addressed the status of the ongoing FY2025 audit, which has faced delays due to previous staffing turnover and administrative reporting challenges.

Council members questioned their financial advisors regarding their role in identifying these financial reporting issues earlier, and the council reviewed the projected timeline for completing the FY2025 and FY2026 audits to restore the city's financial credit profile.
