“Auditors said the City Council has no strategic plan to address affordability.”
“The City has historically lacked an organizational vision or strategy on how to address affordability,” auditors said. “Without a unified vision, strategy, or criteria, departments often operate in isolation or within silos on affordability-related issues.”
“In addition to the audit, city leaders originally requested the creation of a program to align all efforts. However, the City Auditor reminded the City Council that it cut funding for that program during budget negotiations.”
