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.

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.
