CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
City Council Interoffice Communicati®n

From: Erik Peterson, City Council Memb r
Jim Katapodis, Mayor Pro Tem
Date: April 13, 2015
Subject: CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE APRIL 20, 2015, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — FINANCE COMMISSION
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Recognizing the importance of economic and financial affairs with regards to the City of
Huntington Beach and the importance of government transparency, a Finance
Commission should be established.
The City of Huntington Beach had a Finance Board that was merged with the
Investment Advisory Board then dissolved in late 2010. The loss of this board removed
regular public oversight of the City's finances and an invaluable tool of City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Establish a Finance Commission to advise the City Council regarding the funding of
activities and programs; review actual vs. planned revenue and expenditure levels, and
help ensure efficiency. The duties of the Commission shall be:
1. To Advise in Financial Planning and Funding
2. Review City's Financial Documents
3. Review Proposals
4. Advise Council on Fiscal Impacts of Major Contracts
5. Review legislation that may have an impact on the City's finances
6. Review Service Delivery and make suggestions
This Commission should be composed of (7) members, each appointed by a Council
Member. Individuals serving on this board shall have the appropriate skills in
accounting, forensic accounting, or similar experience.
Meetings of this commission should be twice a month.
