During the recent Boise City Council work session, significant discussions centered around the approval of the fiscal year 2026 audit work plan and updates on code compliance within the city.

The meeting began with a focus on the audit team's efforts to catch and correct small errors before they escalate into larger issues. Council members expressed appreciation for the department's proactive approach to maintaining accuracy and transparency in city operations. Following this, a motion was made to affirm the audit committee's direction for the upcoming fiscal year, which received unanimous support from the council.

In a subsequent presentation, Tyler, a representative from the Department of Planning and Development Services, provided an update on code compliance. He highlighted recent organizational changes that have improved the alignment of code compliance efforts with ongoing city code updates. The code compliance team, now part of this department, consists of a manager, seven code officers, and one administrative support staff member. This team is responsible for enforcing city codes, including parking regulations and animal control, with a focus on specific geographic areas to enhance efficiency.

Tyler emphasized the importance of community resources in code compliance, noting that the team is dedicated to addressing complaints and ensuring adherence to city regulations. He also mentioned the potential for future presentations focused specifically on parking compliance, indicating a commitment to transparency and community engagement.

The discussions from this work session reflect the city council's ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness to community needs, ensuring that Boise remains a well-managed and compliant city.
