GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, MAYOR HARKEY, COUNCIL MEMBERS IN CITY MANAGEMENT, PLEASURE TO BE HERE AGAIN, UH, TO PRESENT ON THE ANNUAL AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30TH, 2025.

A FEW SLIDES JUST TO KEEP ME ON TRACK, BUT PROMISE TO BE BRIEF.

[00:20:02]

UH, SO WHY AM I HERE? UH, IT'S REQUIRED UNDER A RS, UH, FOR, UH, THIS TO BE IN A COUNCIL MEETING AND IN A ACTION ITEM, UH, BEFORE I EVEN DIG IN FURTHER, I'LL JUST SAY THE AUDIT, UH, OPINION WAS AN UNMODIFIED OPINION ON THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

UNMODIFIED OPINION MEANS CLEAN OPINION AND NON ACCOUNTING SPEAK.

UH, SO GREAT NEWS, UH, BUT I'LL GET INTO A FEW MORE DETAILS AS WELL.

UH, SO JUST THIS SLIDE IS JUST TO INDICATE ALL THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT GUIDE THE ANNUAL AUDIT FOR THE CITY AND FOR US AS THE AUDITORS.

SO FEDERAL GUIDANCE, UH, GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, GOVERNMENTAL AUDITING STANDARDS, UH, A-I-C-P-A AUDITING STANDARDS.

SO A LOT OF RULES THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW AND THAT THE CITY HAS TO FOLLOW AS A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY.

UH, THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ANNUAL AUDIT.

UH, YOU'RE VERIFYING MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE FINANCES OF THE CITY, AND YOU'RE DEMONSTRATING STEWARDSHIP, STEWARDSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO ALL THOSE, UH, LISTED HERE, RESIDENTS, GRANTORS, STATE AGENCIES, FEDERAL AGENCIES, BOND HOLDERS, ET CETERA.

UH, AND WE'RE ALSO REVIEWING COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN LAWS AND REGULATIONS, AND YOU'RE ENSURING THAT MANAGEMENT'S, UH, FULFILLED THEIR DUTY IN TERMS OF, UH, COMPLETING THE ANNUAL AUDIT.

THE AUDIT PROCESS STARTED WAY BACK LAST MAY, UH, AND WE MAKE SEVERAL ONSITE VISITS WITH THE ACCOUNTING TEAM, UH, AND THEM ALSO PERFORM AUDIT PROCEDURES REMOTELY.

AND THEN THE AUDIT REPORTS WERE ISSUED, UH, IN NOVEMBER AND THEN THROUGH THIS MONTH, THE VARIOUS AUDIT REPORTS.

WHAT ARE THOSE AUDIT REPORTS? SO THERE IS A AUDIT COMMUNICATION TO YOU CITY COUNCIL, THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE.

THE BIG ONE IS THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT.

THAT IS THE CITY'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR.

THE SINGLE AUDIT REPORTING PACKAGE, UH, WHICH IS, UH, REQUIRED, UH, RELATED TO THE CITY'S FEDERAL GRANTS.

AND THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

WE ALSO, UH, DO AGREED UPON PROCEDURES RELATED TO A DEQ LANDFILL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CITY HAS, HIGHWAY USER REVENUE FUND HEAR, F COMPLIANCE, AND THEN THE CITY'S EXPENDITURE LIMITATION REPORT.

WE ALSO REVIEW THAT AS PART OF THE ANNUAL AUDIT.

SO, UH, THE ANNUAL AUDIT INCLUDES LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, UH, BUT THE BIGGEST ONE IS THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

UH, LIKE I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, UH, THE AUDIT RESULTS, UNMODIFIED CLEAN AUDIT OPINION, WHICH WAS DATED NOVEMBER 26TH, 2025.

UH, THAT WAS THE EARLIEST WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ISSUE THE AUDIT OPINION, WHICH IS JUST A TESTAMENT TO THE HARD WORK OF THE ACCOUNTING TEAM AND, UH, VARIOUS CITY STAFF TO ENSURE THE AUDIT GOT DONE, UH, EFFICIENTLY.

NO INTERNAL CONTROLS, NO DEFICIENCIES WERE NOTED THIS PAST YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT.

AND THEN THE SINGLE AUDIT REPORTED, UH, 33 MILLION OF FEDERAL EXPENDITURES.

SO THOSE FEDERAL GRANTS THE CITY RECEIVES, THEY, THE CITY SPENT 33 MILLION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, 24, 25.

ADDITIONALLY, INCLUDED IN YOUR, UH, PACKET IS THE LETTER TO GOVERNANCE, YOU, THE CITY COUNCIL.

UH, SO INCLUDED IN THERE IS JUST SOME REQUIRED INFORMATION THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMMUNICATE IN A LETTER FORMAT.

ADDITIONALLY, ATTACHED TO THAT IS THE ENGAGEMENT LETTER, WHICH IS SIGNED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AUDIT, AND THEN THE MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION LETTER, WHICH IS SIGNED AT THE END OF THE AUDIT.

SO OVERALL, THE AUDIT WENT VERY WELL.

UH, AGAIN, IT WENT EFFICIENTLY.

THE AUDIT OPINION WAS ABLE TO BE ISSUED IN NOVEMBER, WHICH IS THE EARLIEST AND, UH, MY TIME WORKING ON THE AUDIT.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE HARD WORK OF CITI STAFF.

SO THOSE ARE MY PREPARED REMARKS.

UH, TRIED TO KEEP IT BRIEF, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENT YOU MAY HAVE.

WELL, MR. JUMPER, UM, I THINK THIS IS THE, I THINK I'VE THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU, WITH MEG, WITH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND, AND HERE, AND I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY, HOW CAN I GET YOU TO STAY CLEAN , AND, UH, THEN YOU JUST LET IT OUT.

I WAS GONNA ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, ISN'T THIS ROOM NOT DIRTY? AND EVERYTHING IN IT? I WAS GONNA WORK HARD TO GET THAT OUT OF YOU, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, YOUR PROFESSIONAL THAT IS, UH, LOOKED UPON OTHERS AS A GO-TO AND I APPRECIATE

[00:25:01]

YOUR, UH, CONFIDENCE AND THROUGH YOUR AUDIT.

INNESS, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

SO MS. JOHNO, YOU ANSWERED THIS.

OR, OR CFO, UM, DO YOU TRANSMIT THE LETTER TO THE US GOVERNMENT OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? UH, YES.

SO, UH, THAT'S RELATED TO THE SINGLE AUDIT REPORTING PACKAGE, WHICH IS THE CITY'S, UH, REPORTING ON THE CITY'S SPENDING OF FEDERAL GRANTS.

AND SO THAT IS TRANSMITTED, UH, VIA THE FEDERAL AUDIT CLEARING HOUSE.

TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

SO, UH, WE, THE CITY DOES TRANSMIT IT, BUT WE GO IN THERE AND ENSURE EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE AND MATCHES THE ISSUED REPORT.

GOT IT.

YEAH, I DIDN'T REALIZE WE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO THAT.

AND THEN THE STATE, OBVIOUSLY THEY GET THEIR LETTER AS WELL, CORRECT? YES.

UH, A LOT OF THE, ALL THE REPORTS THAT ARE ISSUED AS PART OF THE ANNUAL AUDIT THAT I LISTED OUT, THEY ALL GET ISSUED OR SENT TO THE ARIZONA AUDITOR GENERAL AS WELL.

IT MUST BE A BIG WAREHOUSE ANYWAY.

YES.

A LOT OF FILES THEY RECEIVE.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER? YES.

UM, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, I THINK IT SENDS WARM COMPLIMENTS TO OUR CFO.

DON IS DOING A AN AMAZING JOB.

AND YOUR TEAM, THE ACCOUNTING TEAM, IS DUNBAR DONE, DONE IT AGAIN, , UH, ? NO, BUT IT IS, IT, IT IS REALLY COMPLIMENTS TO, UM, OUR TEAM, CITY MANAGER AND ALL OUR STAFF.

UM, WE'RE REALLY BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH THE TAXPAYERS DOLLARS.

WE'RE MAKING SURE THEY ARE GOING WHERE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO.

ANYONE THAT MAKES AN INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF CHANDLER, THAT INVESTMENT IS WELL SPENT AND IS STRETCHED TO THE LIMIT.

UM, BECAUSE WE DO WORK ACTIVELY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A WELL RAN BUDGET, UM, BECAUSE WE HAVE A WELL RAN TEAM BY SOME WELL RAN DIRECTORS AND DEPUTY MANAGERS AND APPOINTEES.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I THINK THE RESIDENTS OF CHANDLER, ALTHOUGH THEY THEY MAY BE LISTENING, YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD THAT YOU HAVE A, A CITY COUNCIL, A MAYOR, AND A COUNCIL THAT, THAT BELIEVES IN, UH, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKING SURE EVERY DOLLAR COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WELL, COUNCIL, I BELIEVE, UH, A MOTION IS AN HONOR.

WOULD YOU MOVE TO MAYOR? MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

UM, MOVE TO CITY COUNCIL PASS AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 5 9 7 0 ACCEPTING THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2025, AND DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE WITH ARIZONA DEVICE STATUTES.

UM, NINE DASH 4 81 AND H EXCUSE ME, AND, AND 41 DASH 1494.

EXACTLY.

, I THINK I HEARD COUNCIL OR COUNCIL MEMBER ALICE THAT TIME.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND COUNCIL PLEASE VOTE.

VERY GOOD.

ALRIGHT.

UM, I DO

[12. Unscheduled Public Appearances]

HAVE, UH, TWO UNSCHEDULED APPEARANCES TONIGHT.

AND THOSE WHO ARE SPEAKERS, UH, SINCE THIS IS UNSCHEDULED NOT ON THE AGENDA, WE CANNOT ENGAGE WITH YOU.

WE WILL CERTAINLY LISTEN TO YOU AND, AND, UH, STAFF WILL FOLLOW UP.

FIRST UP IS NOAH, JAMES MARKHAM, YOU HAVE UP TO THREE MINUTES, UH, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS YELLOW, PLEASE BE WRAPPING UP.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS TOO FOR THE, YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING ME TONIGHT AS A DEMOCRAT.

, ALOHA, MAYOR, AND TO THE REST OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS NOAH JAMES MARKHAM AND I LIVE IN THE GREAT BLUE CITY OF TEMPE.

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IF I WANT TO TAKE OFF MY SHIRT ON THE SIDEWALK IN CHANDLER, I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO.

IF I DECIDE THAT I WANT TO GO INTO A GROCERY STORE WITHOUT MY SHIRT ON, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EVEN DO THAT.

IF I WALK INTO A GAS STATION WITHOUT MY SHIRT ON, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT SERIOUS FOR MEN.

AWESOME.

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT DOWNTOWN CHANDLER.

I REALLY THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO STEP UP YOUR GAME AND MAKE IT LOOK BETTER HERE AND MAYBE MORE BUILDINGS OR DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS AND MAKE IT BETTER SO YOU GUYS CAN HAVE EVENTS HERE, LIKE THE PRIDE EVENT.

I LOVE THAT EVENT, AND THANK YOU CHANDLER.

AND ONE MORE THING, ACTUALLY, THERE'S TWO MORE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CHANNEL, THE MALL.

I ENCOURAGE THAT WE KEEP ON WITH THE MALL AND ALWAYS HAVE NEW IDEAS TO STEP UP THE GAME AT THE CHANDLER MALL.

ONE MORE THING, CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE HIRE MORE WOMEN POLICE OFFICERS IN CHANDLER, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY IN THOSE COP CARDS.

WOMEN MATTER.

MAHALO.

[00:30:01]

CONGRATULATIONS RETIRING.

THANK YOU, SIR.

NEXT UP WE HAVE BROOKE BEAL, MR. BEAL STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE, AND YOU HAVE UP TO THREE MINUTES TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS.

UH, MY NAME IS BROOKE, BE, I'M A RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF CHANDLER.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, UH, CONGRATULATIONS TO, UH, TO JENNIFER, UH, DANA AND, UH, JOHN PALMIER ON THEIR NEW POSITIONS, UH, ESPECIALLY TO DANA.

THANKS.

DONE A GREAT JOB.

UM, SO SECOND IS, UH, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I HAVE WRITTEN AN EMAIL TO THE, UH, INTERIM REGIONAL DIRECTOR BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, UH, EXPLAINING MY CONCERNS WITH, UH, THE WAY THE CITY OF CHANDLER IS HANDLING THE, UH, CONSOLIDATED CANAL.

UH, I'VE INVITED HER TO COME DOWN AND ADDRESS THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL IN A PUBLIC MEETING SO THAT, UH, THERE'S NO MISUNDERSTANDING FROM, FROM, UH, THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE CANAL, WHETHER OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY ON THERE.

SO, UM, AND TO THAT, UH, TODAY I WAS AGAIN THREATENED WITH ASSAULT, UH, ON THE CANAL BY A PARENT WHO DIDN'T WANT ME SENDING PHOTOS OF HIS DAUGHTER, BREAKING THE LAW TO THE CHANDLER POLICE.

UM, SO A COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, UH, YOU HAD ASKED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHETHER OR NOT THE CANAL WAS SAFE.

SO THE ANSWER AGAIN IS, I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE THREATENS ME FOR TAKING PICTURES OF SOMEONE BREAKING THE LAW, UM, I I THINK THAT'S A PROBLEM.

AND THE REASON THIS HAPPENS IS BECAUSE, UH, CHIEF CHAPMAN HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THE LAW, THESE LAWS THAT ARE BEING BROKEN.

AND THE THE JUVENILES KNOW THIS, THE PARENTS KNOW THIS.

AND SO THEY FEEL THAT, UM, THAT GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO, TO BULLY ME.

I GUESS THEY SEE ME AS TRYING TO BULLY THE CHILDREN.

UH, IN FACT, WHAT I'M DOING IS I'M TRYING TO COMMUNICATE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THERE ARE CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS GOING ON HERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, SINCE CHRISTMAS I HAVE HAD UPWARDS OF 10 PER PER DAY.

I'M ONLY THERE FOR AN HOUR, SO IT'S 10 IN AN HOUR.

I, I'LL SAY 10 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS BREAKING THE LAW ON THE CANAL IN AN HOUR.

UH, AND IT'S, IT'S WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE, OBVIOUSLY.

'CAUSE PRESENTS, THEY, THEY GOT PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS.

SO, UH, THIS IS GONNA GET WORSE.

WHEN FRY ROAD COM IS COMPLETED, THE, THE IMPROVEMENTS ON FRY ROAD ARE COMPLETED.

UM, THE ELECTRIC BIKES ARE GOING TO DUMP ONTO THE CANAL.

'CAUSE THAT'S, YOU'RE ENCOURAGING THEM TO RIDE ON THE CANAL.

SO, UH, IT, I THINK IT'S INEVITABLE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM.

SO I HAVE INVITED HER TO COME AND ADDRESS YOU AS, AS A GROUP IN A PUBLIC MEETING SO THAT WE CAN, UH, GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU SIR.
