Welcome to the October 5, 2026 Mesa City Council Study Session. We won't see Mr. Heredia today . Otherwise, all other council members are present. As always, please, the first item is an overview of the agenda for this evening. Do you have anything or a question for the staff? Do you want to ask about the fire truck again? Yes, I think Mr. Quintons was out of town and tried to answer, but, by the way, you don't have to answer about fire equipment. I'm just concerned about the need to allocate $186,000 to Phoenix . That's all. In addition, we have several resolutions. Park North is on the agenda, as well as the adoption of a notice of intent to adjust utility rates. They are now not included in the list of issues accepted without discussion. So, that seems to be it. Are there any more questions, please? Okay, no questions. Item 2A is a presentation and discussion of the proposed audit plan. Joe, you're on your own. You'll have to do it. Perfectly. Thank you. OK. Mr. Mayor and Council Members, I am Joe Lusetano, City Auditor. And I'm going to walk you through our audit plan for fiscal year 2027. Briefly about the agenda: we will review the current work in progress. Audits we have scheduled for fiscal year 2027, further audits to be conducted this year, and other activities our office performs. So, we are currently conducting the following audits. We are working on a citywide audit of company cars that employees take home. Citywide special benefit programs. ASU …

So, please stand and thank you, Pastor. Lead us in prayer. >> Let us pray. Holy one, source of wisdom, compassion, and hope. We give thanks for this community we share and for all who call Mesa home. We give thanks for the rain and the refreshment it brings. We are grateful for those who offer their time and gifts in service to the public good. As this council gathers tonight, grant wisdom in deliberation, patience in disagreement, and clarity in decision-making. Help all who speak and all who listen to remember the dignity of every person and the needs of a whole community, especially those whose voices are too easily overlooked. May the work done here be guided by integrity, compassion, and a spirit of service.

Welcome everyone to our Mesa City Council study session on September 28, 2026. All members of our board are present. Thank you for being here. It's nice to have a rainy day, a change of pace. I hope we get more water. We need water, right? Department of Water Resources, more water . Thank you, Jesse. With that in mind, thank you to the Vice Mayor for substituting for me at the training session last week, I listened to the session and have a lot of homework to do. You think you're working while traveling, but yes, I work, listen to the session and then catch up. I appreciate it. As you know , the first item is a review of the agenda for the evening council meeting, and I know that you, the council members, have reviewed it. The agenda from last Thursday, when I was away, are there any additional questions about it? I have one question for information regarding item 4A, the purchase of a fire truck. We pay $186,000 in sales tax to the city of Phoenix . Kelly, can you explain why we do this? Do you want Ed to do this? I admit I'll ask Ed Quintanar to come over and see if he knows the answer , if he's here. I haven't seen him come in yet . Or Lian. Oh, Liane can come. So, I can deal with that . I think it's important to note that we pay sales tax on purchases outside of town. However, if this company were in town , would we pay sales tax to them or collect it ourselves? So, Liane Cardenas, Assistant Director of Business Services. Ed Quintanar is at a conference tod …
