City Council subsequently adopted various recommendations aimed at improving how the Parks branch performs maintenance operations and repairs to keep parks clean, safe and beautiful. One such recommendation directed Parks and Recreation to report to the Audit Committee in December 2024, as well as July and November 2025 with a status update. This report outlines steps taken to implement both phases of the audit.
