    Minutes

    The City Council of Mesa held a study session on May 1, 2025, to hear a presentation and update on the Fiscal Year 2025/26 proposed budget, with six of seven council members present. The proposed budget includes the addition of two fire stations expected to reduce emergency response times, along with multiple generational improvement projects not undertaken for nearly 20 years, and continuation of programs funded through the American Rescue Plan Act during COVID. The budget faces significant financial pressures, including an estimated $20 million ongoing impact to the General Governmental Fund (equating to a $100 million loss over five years), a projected $7 million to $10 million loss from flat income tax, and $27 million to $30 million in ongoing costs from citywide benchmarks and step pay increases. The Utility Fund transfer to the General Fund is calculated at 30% per an ordinance adopted in 2020, with 83% of transfer funds allocated to Public Safety and 16.7% across all other General Fund departments.

  • OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK AUDIT, FINANCE & ENTERPRISE COMMITTEE

    Mesa, AZ
    Minutes

    The Audit, Finance & Enterprise Committee of the City of Mesa met on October 30, 2014, at 8:01 a.m. to hear a presentation on a Fire Prevention audit conducted by City Auditor Jennifer Ruttman to evaluate whether internal controls reliably applied, managed, and tracked fee-based service revenues. The audit identified four findings regarding inspection scheduling and resource constraints; the Fire Prevention division had been downsized, resulting in reduced inspection frequency for high-risk occupancies from every two years and medium-risk occupancies to every three years. The audit recommended the Fire Department reassess its available resources and establish a realistic service delivery plan, with Committee members discussing potential options including outsourcing to the private sector or utilizing regional and certification teams, though the department expressed a preference to retain fire inspection services in-house.
