Council member presses for invoice detail after investigation and budget figures cited
Summary
Councilmembers pressed city staff for itemized invoices and guidance on several budget line items, including an investigation the mayor said previously totaled about $28,726. Council asked staff for QuickBooks itemizations and scheduled follow-up.
Councilmembers used the regular agenda to seek detailed backups for line-item spending in the FY25/FY26 budget packet and to press staff on expenditures tied to investigations and engineering services.
During public discussion and later in the fiscal report, the mayor said the city had previously reported an investigation cost of roughly "28,706 28,726 and 70¢," and a council member asked for the invoice list and dollar amount. City staff and the city administrator said invoices are available and offered to provide itemized QuickBooks reports and to meet with council members individually.
Council members also questioned variances in IT support and capital street-improvement spending; the city administrator attributed higher IT costs to an outsourced IT audit and said contracts supporting those expenditures had been approved by the council. Staff committed to follow up with itemized documentation and a scheduled review.
