Audit committee adopts 2026 meeting calendar and agrees on communication cadence

Members reviewed a proposed calendar of meetings tied to responsibilities in the committee charter and approved the dates by consensus so staff can secure rooms and anchor planning. The chair emphasized principles of keeping the schedule simple, targeting a Feb. 15 trial-balance milestone and reserving the right to convene extra meetings if needed.

Committee members asked the finance team to provide milestone confirmations as the Feb. 15 date approaches and suggested short status emails rather than convening full meetings if everything remains on track. The committee set its next meeting for Dec. 9, 2026 at 10 a.m. and agreed the audit-advisory group should provide periodic updates to city council.
