Council directed staff to deliver, by Oct. 19, a written corrective plan listing outstanding audit items, owners, resources and completion dates after the external auditor reported substantial outstanding documentation for FY2024; staff said outstanding items have been reduced to about 7–10.

Council members learned the 2024 audit had not been completed; staff said S&P Global dropped the city from active rating consideration pending up‑to‑date audits. Council asked the manager for a written report, supporting documentation, and a timeline for completing audits and restoring rating standing.
