Council accepts 2024–25 city audit; members debate wording and authority
Summary
The council voted 5–0 to accept the city's 2024'25 audit after a brief exchange about the council's authority to 'approve' or 'disapprove' audits; one member emphasized the council may only 'accept' the audit report.
Council accepted the city's 2024–25 audit after a short discussion about the proper motion language and the council's authority to act on an audit report.
One council member said, "We don't have the authority to approve it. We don't have the authority to disapprove it. We can accept it," and moved that the council accept the audit. The motion carried 5–0 on the meeting record.
Staff had completed a presentation to the council earlier in the meeting; council members asked for minor clarifying language before the vote and then accepted the audit into the public record as is customary for municipal audits.
