Summary

The City Council discussed the administration of the city auditor position and approved funding for pothole repairs and a nearly $100 million loan order for water infrastructure. A staff finance official noted a 2019 vote delegating administration of the auditor task to the city manager.

City Council members discussed the future of the city auditor and whether administration of that position should be handled by the council’s personnel subcommittee or delegated to the city manager.

The council’s chief financial officer said the council previously addressed the issue: in 2019 the council voted to delegate administration of the task to the city manager, and that 2019 motion passed 8-3. Council discussion referenced that precedent while members questioned whether the current motion aligned with standard personnel procedures.

Council votes during the meeting included approval of more than $18,000 for pothole repairs and a near-$100,000,000 loan order intended for water infrastructure improvements. The transcript does not record individual vote tallies for those two items.
