The purpose of the FPAC is to work on long-range financial planning, policies and modeling, and to offer recommendation to the City Council as appropriate. Additionally, at the request of the City Council, FPAC evaluates proposals submitted to the City for fiscal soundness from a long-term impact perspective. City Council Liaison Attendance: The City Council liaison is expected to attend as many of the FPAC meetings as possible. If the liaison cannot attend a meeting, they can ask another Councilmember to attend on their behalf. Trainin : The liaison should take advantage of training and educational opportunities as they arise. Staff will notify the FPAC liaison of training and educational opportunities as they become available. Participation at Meetings: The liaison should take an active role in the FPAC discussions. The liaison can offer comments on the FPAC discussion topics based on both the position of the City Council (if known) and based on their individual position. When individual liaison opinions are offered, they need to be identified as such. The liaison is not a voting member of the FPAC. Selection of Committee Members: For vacancies on the FPAC, the Council liaison, Committee Chair, and staff liaison will review the candidate's application material. Formal interviews are not required, but are encouraged. The Council liaison and the staff liaison will then make an appointment recommendation to the Mayor.
