Citywide Financial Status and Bond Funds Report

Compare Five City Finance and Bond Reports

Context: Council considered the same citywide financial-status and bond-funds report five times from January 6 through July 15, with recorded unanimous adoptions through June 3 but only “Motion 2026-0409” listed for July 15.

Recommended: Request the report packets and minutes for all five Council appearances, then compare revenue, expenditures, encumbrances, and bond-fund balances across them. The public record shows repeated approvals but no financial figures, and the July entry does not state an adoption result, leaving any fiscal change or unresolved issue unverified.

Obtain Taxiway Reconstruction Amendment Scope

Context: City Council unanimously adopted the second amendment with Flatiron Dragados Constructors on March 3 after the matter appeared twice and was previously tagged and held.

Recommended: Request the executed second contract amendment and any revised scope or schedule from the airport or City. Use them to determine whether added Taxiway NA work must be performed by Flatiron Dragados Constructors or may be subcontracted; without them, you cannot price or pursue the newly authorized work accurately.

Request Records Explaining Taxiway Reconstruction Delay

Context: The matter appeared twice: it was presented and tagged by Council Member Pollard, then later adopted unanimously after being noted as held.

Recommended: Request the amendment, staff briefing, and communications explaining why the Taxiway NA contract matter was tagged and held before unanimous adoption. Compare those records with the final amendment to establish what changed during the delay and whether cost, scope, or project-timing concerns were resolved off the public agenda.

Verify airport technology consulting contract controls

Context: Ordinance 2026-0173 was adopted 16-0 on March 3, 2026 and authorizes airport information technology consulting contracts for three years with two one-year options.

Recommended: Obtain the adopted ordinance and executed contracts to determine whether they specify approval, audit, conflict, spending, or option-exercise controls for the $5 million authorization. Without the operative documents, it is not possible to assess what requirements govern the three-year term and potential extensions.

Obtain airport technology consulting contract scopes

Context: City Council adopted the airport information technology consulting authorization on March 3, 2026, with a $5,000,000 maximum and named Burns Engineering and Jacobs Engineering; the matter appeared twice.

Recommended: Request the executed Burns Engineering and Jacobs Engineering contracts, including scopes, task-order procedures, and option terms, before pursuing any teaming or subcontracting work. The authorization covers up to three years plus two one-year options, so undocumented task-order rules could determine who can participate and when.

Reconcile airport technology consulting agenda records

Context: The matter appeared twice; the February 24 minutes flag an Item 23/Item 19 cross-reference inconsistency, and the March 3 record shows Ordinance 2026-0173 adopted as Item 10 by a 16-0 vote.

Recommended: Request the February 24 agenda, minutes, item crosswalk, and any corrected minutes to explain why the record for Item 23 says Item 19 had not been received, while the ordinance was later adopted as Item 10. Publish whether the mismatch affected the public’s ability to follow the same $5 million airport consulting matter across its two appearances.
