Finance staff: heavy closeout workload ahead as FY27 begins

Jamie Cole, filling in while Treasurer Taylor was absent, told the council that the organization is approaching a fiscal transition and that staff will be 'heavily involved' in closing out FY26 and initiating FY27. "We're a week away from FY17. It's quite something," Cole said (transcript text), noting there will be many transactions as staff finalizes the year.

Cole said he hoped councilors had received the financial report and invited questions; none were recorded. The briefing was procedural but flagged the operational workload tied to the change of fiscal year and the anticipated large volume of transactions for finance staff to process.
