Alman CPA PC as the city's independent auditor for the fiscal year 2024-25 financial audit, noting challenges in obtaining multiple audit proposals and emphasizing the need for more frequent evaluation of audit services. Additionally, the council discussed a $7,500 proposal for a drone-based road condition assessment to support future capital improvement planning and grant applications. The meeting also addressed ongoing issues with a major water leak and playground equipment installation, as well as concerns about the revocation of the Frost Police Department's authority to make appointments, which will require further action.
