Summary

Staff reported they executed an engagement letter to begin an audit now that tax season is over, and a board member announced Stella's restaurant plans to open in the former Monterey building around May 18. The items were presented as informal updates near adjournment.

Near the meeting's close, staff told the board that, now that tax season has ended, an engagement letter for an audit has been executed and staff will meet with auditors to set procedures and a timeline.

"I did finally get that now that we're past tax season, I did get that engagement letter and I did execute that engagement letter," staff said, adding they will meet with the auditors shortly to discuss procedures. Separately, board member Billy Sparks reported a positive site visit to Stella's in Pearland and relayed that the local location is expected to open around May 18 in the old Monterey building.

These items were recorded as announcements and did not prompt formal votes; follow‑up will be administrative (audit scheduling) and local business development monitoring.
