Budget staff told the committee the audit for fiscal year 25 remains in progress and that a few balancing issues are being worked through; staff hope to finish the audit within about a month and to distribute departmental budget packets in advance of March meetings.
Susan Paprocki said consolidated sales tax receipts are up roughly 4% year‑to‑date and noted October collections were 7% higher than the previous year.
