✓ Decided: Council approves grants audit resolution after failed audit, work session planned

The Council approved Resolution No. 117-2026, acknowledging the grants audit could not be completed because the Internal Auditor did not receive requested documents. The vote was unanimous after two members rescinded their initial 'no' votes. The Council discussed holding an open work session to address the audit's obstruction and to consider next steps, including possibly referring the matter to the Office of Legislative Audits. All other resolutions on the agenda were approved unanimously.
