Council Auditor Phillip Peterson to discuss Report #871A: Follow-Up on Procurement Audit -

Informal Purchase of Supplies

Brian Parks, Auditor's Office, reviewed Report #871A. He said that the follow-up showed 9

remaining issues to be rectified, and 6 issues that were addressed and cleared.

Mr. Peterson, Council Auditor, spoke about the impact on the City if there is a reduction in

property taxes, pending the outcome of a referendum in November.

CM Salem asked what the budget strategy is in light of this possibility. Ms. Brosche, CFO, said

the budget strategy is being evaluated. CM Lahnen noted that spending for public safety and debt

cannot be cut, and he said that the City has to work with the assumption that it will be approved

by voters. CM Carlucci asked about the impact on collective bargaining, bond ratings and CIP

projects. CM Carlucci also emphasized the need to inform the public of the impact on services

from the lost revenue. CM Diamond commented on some cuts he feels would be prudent, like

economic incentives and downtown development, and he said the City should only fund essential

services. CM Amaro talked about statesmanship. CM J. Carlucci asked Ms. Brosche again about

the budget strategy. Ms. Brosche said the Mayor will present her proposed budget in July.
