Several items prompted council questions about budget detail access and construction warranties; staff said line‑item budgets and district spending reports are available on request or via the clerk's office.
What happens next: Staff will proceed to implement accepted work actions (file notices of completion), publish engineer reports and levy schedules as required, and carry forward the technology and GIS projects discussed in departmental presentations.
