July 21, 2026 - City Council Audit Committee Meeting

The City of Saint Paul's City Council Audit Committee met on July 21, 2026, to discuss potential audit topics for the upcoming cycle. The committee reviewed feedback from various city departments regarding proposed audits, including district council reform, business licensing, building code operations, and street maintenance and pothole repair. After deliberation, the committee decided to eliminate the Collegebound program from consideration due to timing and ongoing internal evaluations. They recommended moving forward with audits focused on district council reform, business licensing, and street maintenance, with the council to select two of these for the next calendar year. The committee also discussed the development of a self-assessment tool to aid departments in internal controls and audit readiness. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the audit topics selected could influence future budget and operational reviews.
