Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Robert
Steele,
Academy
manager.
Here
and
tonight
we
have
Corey
our
visu
partner
and
Joshua
jumper
manager
from
heinfeld,
meech
and
Company.
There
are
external
auditors
they're
here
to
present
the
fiscal
year,
2122
audit
process
and
requirements,
and
then
I'd
just
like
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
both
of
them
for
being
here,
especially
Corey,
as
he
drove
up
from
Tucson
today
to
help
us
with
this
presentation
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
them.
E
I
Thank
you
Robert
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
council.
We
are
here
to
present
to
you
the
results
of
your
fiscal
year.
2022
audit,
Joshua
and
I
we're
the
engagement
team
and
the
individuals
responsible
for
providing
the
services
overseeing
the
audit
team
and
ensuring
the
audit
was
performed
in
accordance
with
our
requirements
and
standards.
I
As
mentioned,
this
was
a
new
state
statute
that
was
enacted
a
couple
years
ago.
So
this
is
our
second
year
presenting
to
the
council,
so
I
know,
there's
I
believe
a
couple
new
members
on
Council,
so
just
a
little
bit
of
a
refresher
prior
to
prior
to
that
being
a
requirement
under
under
statute
depending
by
municipally.
Some
had
a
council
presentations
from
the
Auditors.
I
Others
did
not,
but
now
it's
requirement
for
for
all
audits
of
Municipal
governments
in
Arizona
and
as
noted
there,
the
reports
also
to
be
presented
online,
which
it
is
on
your
website,
along
with
the
single
Auto
reports
and
some
other
key
financial
statement,
reports
and
I
think
there's
probably
a
couple
more
years
on
on
theirs.
Also
not
just
the
required
three
years
as
indicated
and
I
do
believe.
I
Just
a
reminder.
As
far
as
the
importance
of
the
audit,
it
is
our
responsibility
to
verify
verify
the
management
representations,
which
is
essentially
the
numbers
in
the
financial
statements
themselves.
Those
are
maintenance
representations
as
far
as
the
financial
operations
of
the
city,
our
responsibility
is
to
verify
those
and
as
noted
there,
the
report
does
get
used
by
a
number
of
parties.
In
particular,
the
citizens
use
the
governing
body,
grantors
federal
agencies
as
a
recipient
of
a
large
amount
of
federal
funding.
Federal
grantors
use
those
quite
a
bit.
I
So
a
lot
of
parties
do
use
these
financial
statements
and
a
very
important
part
of
the
city's
operations.
Along
with
that,
though,
as
noted,
because
because
the
city
does
get
State
funding
and
federal
funding,
a
lot
of
compliance
and
laws
and
regulations,
and
also
your
city
Charter,
we
audit
to
certain
city
requirements
as
well,
such
as
procurement
to
ensure
the
cities
and
and
management
and
staffs
following
your
own
particular
requirements.
I
Ultimately
use
the
governing
body
are
responsible
for
the
financial
statements
I
like
to
refer
to
it
as
a
three-legged,
stool,
right
management
yourself
and
us
as
Auditors
between
those
three
parties.
Financial
statements
issued
complete
and
accurate
any
one
of
those
kind
of
legs
Falls,
so
to
speak
or
or
gets
missed
something.
You
know
something
can
happen.
So
it's
an
important
part
of
the
process
to
understand
that
the
governing
body.
You
have
a
role
here
as
well
with
respect
to
financial
statements,
just
ensuring
management
satisfies
their
fiduciary
responsibilities
and
has
good
controls
in
place.
I
J
Good
evening,
so
here
just
briefly
talk
about
the
audit
process,
so
the
engagement
letter
and
the
initial
planning
of
the
audit
began
of
April
2022.
We
had
site
visits,
on-site
visits
in
July,
August,
October
and
November.
The
annual
audit
is
a
marathon,
not
a
Sprint.
We
also
do
various
audit
procedures
remotely
between
those
site
visits.
J
So
to
speak,
to
those
audit
reports
that
were
issued
so
Corey
mentioned
a
little
bit
of
those.
So
we
have
audit
communication
to
those
charges
to
governance.
You,
the
annual
comprehensive
financial
report,
which
is
the
actual
audited
financial
statements,
the
single
audit
reporting
package,
which
is
includes
a
few
different
things,
so
there's
a
report
on
internal
controls
for
audit
under
government
auditing
standards,
a
report
on
internal
control
and
compliance
for
federal
Awards.
J
We
noted
no
internal
control
deficiencies
in
relation
to
the
annual
audit
and
just
noting
the
continued
covid-19
funding
and
the
spending
of
those
monies
during
the
fiscal
year
and
additionally,
a
gas
me
accounting
pronouncement
which
changed
the
definition
of
a
lease
and
how
that
got,
presented
and
reported.
That
was
also
implemented.
I
Thank
you,
I'll
just
wrap
it
up
with
a
couple
more
slides
here.
As
mentioned
the
communication
letter
to
governance,
more
of
a
narrative
form.
It
really
discusses
our
responsibilities,
your
responsibilities.
If
there's
anything
particular
note,
we
would
include
it
then
in
that
letter,
and
it
also
includes
the
initial
engagement
letter
to
get
the
auto
moving
forward.
Then
also
management
representation
letter
at
the
end
of
the
audit,
so
I
just
like
to
point
that
out,
because
not
Financial
numbers
so
to
speak,
but
more
narrative
form
as
far
as
the
audit's
concerned,
just
to
wrap
it
up.
I
There's
our
contact
information
I
always
like
to
remind
governing
bodies,
although
we
work
closely
with
management,
obviously
throughout
the
throughout
the
process,
as
Joshua
mentioned
from
Spring
to
through
December.
Here
we
report
to
you
as
the
governing
body
and
your
responsibility
as
as
the
governing
body.
So
even
though
we
may
present
to
you
once
a
year
once
the
odd
is
completed,
whether
it's
us
or
any
another
audit
team,
we
I
may
very
much
encourage
you.
If
you
have
questions
regarding
the
audit
process,
what
Auditors
do
areas
we
look
at
I.
I
Very
much
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
us,
or
once
again
any
other
auditor
may
be
performing
the
audit
of
your
financial
statement,
so
you
can
always
reach
out
to
us
directly
or
through
management,
for
any
questions
may
have
at
any
other
time.
Besides,
when
we
present
you
formally
as
part
of
the
annual
audit.
So
with
that
mayor
I'll
turn
over
to
the
council.
If
there's
any
questions
regarding
our
presentation
or
any
of
the
audit
procedures,
We
performed
for
this
year's
audit.
E
C
E
I
That's
a
good
question
council
member
for
this
audit
I
believe
the
total
hours
that
we've
proposed
so
to
speak
and
spend
on
the
audit
I
believe
it's
around
700
hours
from
the
various
ones
in
looking
at
the
controls,
Federal
Awards
account
balances
and
one
thing:
that's
from
that
entire
time
frame.
I
believe
that's
approximates
the
number
of
hours
investment
on
our
part.
Then
you
have
all
your
staff's
investment
hours
as
well
and
preparing
the
financial
statements
and
responding
to
our
requests.
I
Yeah,
it's
just
depending
upon
once
again
control
we're
looking
at
whether
that
be
something
related
to
payroll.
Certain
revenue
account
cash,
Investments
and
debts
are
big
areas.
So
a
lot
of
exchanging
of
ideas
or
I
guess,
information
information
being
provided
to
us,
we'll
pull
up
the
questions
or
or
just
more
inquiry
based
on.
What's
provided
to
us,
it's
very
much
a
interactive
process,
I
suppose
you
could
say
and.
I
Procurement
is
part
of
our
audit
procedures
once
again,
just
because
for
federal
requirements
do
require
us
to
look
at
some
of
your
procurement
procedures
and
as
mentioned,
we
also
do
look
at
your
Charter
and
some
of
the
requirements
just
because
you
have
those
requirements
in
place,
we'll
look
at
those
as
well.
So
yes,
procurement
purchasing
is
an
area
we
look
at.
I
I
E
K
L
M
I
Great
question:
Mr
Harris,
you
know
the
terminology
as
accountants
use,
you
know,
can
really
get
caught
up
in
in
the
in
the
details.
So
to
speak,
but
unqualified
essentially
means
nothing
came
to
our
attention
in
the
amounts
in
the
amounts
reported
in
the
financial
statements.
That
would
be
that
we
would
consider
those
amounts
incorrect.
You
can
provide,
as
others
can
can
reasonable
assurance
that
those
numbers
are
correct
when
we
use
an
unqualified
or
unmodified
opinion.
I
E
D
C
C
C
C
So
you
know
in
unscheduled
public
appearances,
you
have
three
minutes
to
come
and
and
speak,
please
state
your
name
and
address,
because
this
is
unscheduled.
We
cannot
engage
you.
So
please
make
your
presentation
when
the,
when
the
light
turns
yellow,
please
wrap
up
when
it's
red,
please
finish
up.
Thank
you,
sir.
Shall.
N
Yeah
850
best
Oriole,
Bay,
Chandler,
Arizona
85286
and
shall
I
get
my
three
keep
going.
You
got
three
three
minutes.
Okay,
that's
great!
So
this
24th
Jan
was
a
point
in
time
count
across
Maricopa,
which
basically
I
participated
for
the
first
time
in
my
life,
with
some
of
my
colleagues.
What
it
brought
to
my
attention
during
that
time
is
that
young
people
living
in
the
cars
and
a
lot
of
things
happening
making
me
to
question
myself.
N
How
has
my
city,
elders
and
others
were
representing
us
taking
care
of
our
housing
situation
in
general?
I'll
share
my
own
personal
story.
My
daughter
was
born
six
years
six
years
ago,
and
at
that
time
we
bought
a
house
for
less
than
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
during
the
covet
era.
My
neighbor
sold
their
house
for
about
500
plus
and
now
the
house
within
my
communities
are
at
six
hundred
thousand
I've
got
some
promotions
on
the
way
during
these
years,
but
my
salaries
haven't
doubled,
but
suddenly
my
houses
have
doubled.
N
So
this
brings
to
the
question
is:
where
is
this
all
this
money
Capital
flowing
from?
Is
it
all
the
printing
press?
That's
going
in
Washington,
DC,
Wall
Street
playing
a
roulette
over
there.
That's
coming
over
here,
which
my
city
and
my
elders
over
here
are
not
protecting
us
against
those
Capital
flow,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
possibility
for
Innovation
when
it
comes
to
digital
currency
cryptocurrency
space,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
talent
over
here
within
our
state
of
Arizona
who
are
working
on
knowledge,
innovation,
technology.
Who
could
be?
N
N
We
were
just
opted
forcefully
into
it,
without
even
understanding
what
it
was
right,
because
that's
the
perk
of
like
shifting
and
moving
around,
and
that
is
where
the
situation
is
where
we
really
need
to
reflect
on
innovating
on
our
regulations
and
a
lot
of
other
things
to
make
our
community
resilient
as
well
as
affordable
for
future
generations
to
come.
So
that's
my
appeal,
and
hopefully
we
can
do
something
about
it.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
We
had
a
great
amount
of
volunteers
that
came
out
well,
the
numbers
are,
are
kind
of
being
looked
at,
I,
look
forward
to
see
how
we
compare
to
previous
years,
but
there
is
the
there's
a
little
bit
of
work
to
make
sure
that
people
weren't
double
counted,
and
particularly
the
observations.
Weren't
observed
multiple
times
as
that's
a
little
less
information.
So
look
forward
to
getting
that
information.
When
it's
available
to
us
like
to
invite
you
all
this
Saturday.
C
Is
it
Sunday,
Saturday,
January,
28th
to
Tempe
down
Lake,
we
will
be
participating
in
the
regional
Unity
walk.
This
Festival
starts
at
4
30
p.m,
and
invite
we're
invited
to
have
some
time
together,
there's
some
food,
some
presentations
and
then
walking
around
the
lake
about
a
mile
walk.
So
we
get
your
steps
in
Chandler
with
other
cities
to
celebrate
our
Unity
I
I.
C
C
The
changes
address
the
new
state
law
that
allows
City
to
license
and
have
a
little
more
teeth
regarding
short-term
rental
properties.
It
also
lets
us
establish
criteria
for
obtaining
and
maintaining
licenses.
So
right
now
we
are
looking
for
public
input
in
this
process
via
an
online
survey
at
Chandler
az.gov
forward,
slash
short-term
rental,
chandleraz.gov
forward,
slash
short-term
rental,
so
councilmember.
A
And
Titus
thank
you
mayor.
Just
a
quick
announcement
again
to
Carry
back
on
the
Chandler
International
Film
Festival
invite
you
guys
to
come
out
on
Sunday.
We
have
some
local
residents
and
leaders
that
are
going
to
be
featured
in
that
film
on
Sunday
at
2
p.m,
from
the
East
Valley
Community
Center,
so
I
invite
you
guys
to
be
out
there
I'll
be
there
on
Sunday
to
close
out
the
film
festival.
A
K
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
am
excited
to
say
that
1300
residents
took
partner
budget
survey
here
over
the
past
few
weeks,
and
that
is
clearly
a
topic
that
I
think
Chandler,
radians
Chandler
writes,
are
really
involved.
I,
don't
know
it's
Chandler
Heights
we're
Heights
I,
think
I've
been
struggling
with
that
for
six
years,
but
anyway,
I
look
forward
to
some
Canon
dialogue
up
here
on
the
dice
with
my
fellow
council
members
and
the
mayor
about
the
projects
that
we've
got
coming
forward.
K
K
Paul
Penzone
Sheriff
Penzone
from
Maricopa
County,
Mark
Lamb
from
Pinal
County,
as
well
as
elected
officials
from
all
across
the
state,
will
descend
on
Gammage
Arena
to
hold
the
vigil
and
to
unite
and
take
a
stand
against
this
Darkness.
We're
grateful
that
mayor
Harkey
will
be
speaking
at
that.
He
has
spoken
at
others
before
our
police
chief
has
been
there
in
the
past,
and
our
newest
assistant
chief
will
be
speaking
on
a
panel
there
as
well.
So
I
am
looking
forward
to
that.
K
M
Harris,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
too
will
be
at
night
of
Hope.
I
happen
to
be
there
last
year
and
the
year
before,
but
it's
a
really
great
event.
They
bring
awareness,
but
they
also
bring
to
life
real
conversation.
That
is
really
happening,
and
so
it's
important
for
everyone
that
could
that
can
come.
We
know
that
that
Super
Bowl
weekend,
but
one
of
the
things
that
is
important
to
know
about
that
Super
Bowl
weekend
during
big
events.
That
is
the
time
that
the
most
trafficking
does
happen.
M
So
Channel
resonance
be
vigilant,
be
aware
and
make
a
stand
so
great
job.
So
my
announcement
is
that
I
was
happy
to
participate
in
the
East
Valley
Mesa
MLK
parade.
That
was
pretty
amazing
and
yes,
it
rained
it
did
rain
it
rained
on
my
head.
Okay,
but
I
did
not
stop
I
I
thought
my
way
through
that
ring
and
I
was
drenched,
but
then
I
dried
up
again
and
so
I
was
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that.
M
But
also
I
was
able
to
be
a
part
of
I
went
to
Phoenix
MLK
Awards,
Tempe,
MLK,
Awards
and
I
would
not
forsake
to
think
about
Chandler
MLK
Awards.
We
had
a
great
time.
Council
came
out.
Mayor
spoke
and
other
council
members
came
and
we
awarded
some
great
recipients,
it's
all
over
our
social
media
and
it's
just
an
awesome
time
to
really
celebrate
the
efforts
of
those
that
have
came
that
have
trailblaze
the
way
for
many
of
us.
That's
sitting
in
the
sea
today
also
I
want
to
give
a
special
point
of
privilege.
M
I
want
to
take
a
point
of
privilege
and
give
kudos
to
the
mayor
for
for
appointing
me
to
be
on
the
Valley
Metro
board
and
in
rails,
so
I'm
happy
that
I'm
a
part
of
that
and
then
I
was
elected
to
be
treasured.
So
that
was
amazing
as
well,
so
I'm
gonna
be
looking
forward
to
serve
one
announcement.
I
will
say
about
that.
M
Is
that,
as
you
know,
Super
Bowl
is
coming
and
so
Valley
Metro
will
be
having
rise
to
2
A.M
in
the
morning
and
then
rise
will
pick
back
up
at
4
a.m.
In
the
morning,
during
the
week
of
the
Super
Bowl,
so
make
sure
you
point
out
where
the
nearest
ride
would
be,
for
you
they're,
going
to
be
working
double
time
over
time,
they
have.
Everything
is
going
to
be
really
opened
up.
Transportation
is
going
to
be
really
flowing.
M
So
just
remember
during
that
week
it's
going
to
be
busy
and
Chandler
will
be
having
some
great
events
that
you
can
participate
in
as
well.
Thank
you
to
our
wonderful
staff.
Kim
Moyers
who've
been
leading
this
way
for
us
there
there
have
been.
We
have
a
lot
of
events
going
on
in
the
city
of
Chandler
as
well.
So
if
you
don't
want
to
kind
of
battle
through
the
traffic
to
go
to
different
places,
you
also
can
spend
time
here
galvanizing
with
the
activities
that
we
will
have
this
week.
