Agenda preview
The council will receive the city's 2015-16 annual financial audit results from the Finance Department. An independent auditor will present findings on how Richmond managed taxpayer money during the fiscal year ending June 2016.
A Community Services Department review is on the agenda after an outside consultant found staffing shortages and maintenance backlogs. The department runs parks, recreation programs, and the Richmond Auditorium. This connects to youth and community programs, a topic that has appeared on 12 agendas in the past year.
Three organizations will present updates on their work: Visit Richmond tourism bureau with its annual report, NIAD reporting on programs for adults with developmental disabilities, and the East Bay Center for Performing Arts discussing youth programs. The Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park superintendent will also update the council on park conditions.
The council will honor retiring Emergency Services Manager Kathryn Gerk with a proclamation and proclaim March for Meals Month to recognize Meals on Wheels. A presentation on International Women's Day was postponed at the committee's request.
