The Depoe Bay City Council convened on May 20, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the final audit report and financial transparency measures.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the final audit report received on May 5. A council member inquired whether the report had been distributed to the council members, noting that it appeared unchanged except for the addition of letterhead. It was confirmed that the report would be made available on the city’s website by the end of the week, ensuring that all interested parties could access the financial reports and budgets.

Additionally, there was a request for printed copies of the audit report, which would be fulfilled. The discussion highlighted the importance of transparency in financial reporting, with the council emphasizing their commitment to making information accessible to the public.

The council also addressed a disclaimer of opinion related to the fiscal year 2019-2020 audit, which indicated that certain records were not available for review. This led to the necessity of developing a corrective action plan to address the findings and comply with requirements set by the Secretary of State.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's focus on financial accountability and transparency, with plans for improved access to financial documents for the community. Further actions regarding the corrective plan will be monitored in upcoming meetings.
