Audit committee debates 2027 meeting cadence, leans toward six meetings with staff to finalize calendar
Summary
Members debated keeping six meetings per year versus adding meetings, proposed months (including Jan, Feb, late April/early May, July, Sept., Nov.), and discussed start times (2:00–3:00 p.m.) and room logistics; staff will draft calendar for committee approval.
Committee members spent the bulk of the meeting discussing when and how often the audit committee should meet in 2027.
The internal auditor reviewed the current policy—six meetings a year on the third Wednesday of Feb., Apr., June, Aug., Oct. and Dec.—and proposed alternate months (January, February, April, July, September and November) with June added "if needed". Members debated keeping six meetings versus adding a seventh to accommodate external audit communications and budget season. They also discussed whether audit committee meetings should fall on council days, the second council meeting of the month, and whether start times should be 2:00, 2:30 or 3:00 p.m.; several members preferred a 2:00–2:30 start on council days to give staff a gap before other council work.
The committee did not adopt a final calendar at this meeting; staff were asked to check conflicting calendars (pension and beer board meetings, vice mayor availability) and return a proposed schedule for formal approval.
