Now this doesn’t sound anything like what the mayor said during the council meeting!!!

Let us remind what his speech said:

Issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for city attorney services to evaluate current and potential legal representation.

Bring all TIF status reports up to date to ensure accurate and current financial reporting.

Review all TDD board oversight procedures to strengthen accountability and governance.

Evaluate the composition of the TDD board to ensure proper structure and representation.

Remind retailers of their obligation to clearly display the TDD sales tax rate within the district.

Recommend hiring an independent firm to manage TDD financial transactions and bookkeeping, creating greater separation between the city and the TDD.

Implement stronger public engagement and outreach policies, particularly for major projects.

Provide ongoing progress updates and work collaboratively with City Council and residents to identify additional improvements.
