Presentation of Auditor’s Office results from July 2025 – May 2026
In brief
From the official impact statementProposal details
From the official recordWho is affected
Ombudsman complaints come from community members and community members are consulted during audit work. Presenting these results publicly provides community members with information about how City operations and decisions may affect them. Archives & Records Management collaborated with Street Books, a street library that provides community, resources, and advocacy for people living outside, to record oral histories of community members experiencing homelessness for the creation of Keeping the Flame of Love & Creativity Alive. Presenting this publication amplifies diverse experiences and memories of life in Portland that are often left out of the historical record.
Official community impact statementFinancial impact
There are no immediate financial or budgetary impacts. Implementation of audit and Ombudsman recommendations could improve the transparency and efficiency of City programs.
