Mayor Stanley presided over a special March 27 meeting in which CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) walked Amarillo's council through a draft Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2025.

Councilmember (voice 2) moved to file the document and Mayor Stanley seconded; members present approved the motion by voice vote with no opposition recorded. City staff and CLA agreed to follow up with reconciliations and additional detail before the council's regular April 14 meeting, when the council intends to hold a fuller review.
