CITY COUNCIL MEETING—COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PAT BURNS, CITY COUNCILMEMBER
DATE: JANUARY 17, 2023
SUBJECT: FINANCE COMMISSION
The Finance Commission is a City Council-created,advisory commission to the City Council. While the City
has a long history of having a Finance Commission, or a similar City finance review board,the City Council
directed the Finance Commission to meet less frequently and to only undertake tasks that the City Council
directed.
The Finance Commission is composed of citizens appointed by Council members. The City's finances
should be carefully reviewed by the public as City leadership's greatest fiduciary responsibility is to be the
best stewards of taxpayer money. Citizen participation and oversight is key to the fiscal health and
responsible governance by the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Manager to immediately facilitate monthly Finance Commission meetings and direct the
City Manager to accommodate and facilitate the Finance Commission to undertake reviews the Finance
Commission, in its citizen-driven oversight, deems necessary. The Finance Commission will review,
analyze, and consider the accountability, honesty, integrity,fiscal sustainability, community involvement,
and openness of the City's financial obligations. Direct the City Manager to update the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code Section 2.109, Finance Commission, to reflect a monthly meeting schedule with the
modified duties and agenda items.
