BACKGROUND
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 41-1279.07(E) requires that the governing body of each 
county, city, town, and community college district annually provide to the Auditor General by 
July 31 the name of the Chief Fiscal Officer (CFO) the governing body has designated to officially 
submit the current year’s annual expenditure limitation report (AELR) on the governing body’s 
behalf. The statute also requires that the governing body notify the Auditor General of any 
changes of individuals designated to file the required reports that occur midyear, which requires 
an updated, signed resolution.
The Auditor General provides a resolution template for cities, towns, counties, and community 
college district governing bodies to use to satisfy this obligation. City Council must adopt this 
resolution annually and when any changes occur midyear, designating the CFO to submit that 
fiscalyear’s AELR. The signed resolution must then be submitted to the Auditor General’s Office.
Adopting Resolution No. 13634 will designate Sonia Andrews, City Treasurer/Chief Financial 
Officer, as the City’s CFO for purposes of submitting the fiscal year 2026/27 AELR to the Arizona 
Auditor General’s Office on the City Council’s behalf.

A.R.S. §41-1279.07 requires cities and towns to submit an AELR, an accountants’ report on the 
AELR, and audited financial statements to the Auditor General by March 31 after the end of the 
fiscal year being reported.
