Subject: Consideration of Appointments to the Audit Committee and outside Committees. (Continued from the December 10, 2024 City Council meeting) (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to consider appointments of City Council members to the Audit Committee and outside committees.
BACKGROUND
The Mayor and City Council Members have opportunities to serve on outside committees, boards, and commissions in representing the City’s interests. The outside committees include regional agencies governed by elected officials appointed by their peers, and jurisdictional authority varies from library services to regional planning, sanitary sewers to State governance. Appointments to Committees and Boards are done every two years following a general election.
DISCUSSION
The attached Committee List includes all appointment opportunities, with some committees including an alternate, as well as a representative. Information on meeting dates, time, and compensation, if applicable, is also provided. Additionally, some outside agencies require a Statement of Economic Interests Form 700 filing to be filed directly with their agency.
The Audit Committee is an internal City Council committ ee with the Mayor and up to two Council Members to be appointed. The Orange County Vector Control District appointment is to be made for a term of two or four years, at the discretion of the City Council. Board appointments to the Association of California Cities - Orange County (ACC-OC), the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and the Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG) do not require City Council action; members to these boards are selected by the vote of those respective board members as vacancies are noticed. A brief description of each committee is attached.
