City Council Liaison Roles and Responsibilities (Financial Planning & Analysis Committee) Committee Summary The Financial Planning and Analysis Committee (FPAC) is established per City Code, Section 220.07. 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 will request an alternate Councilmember to attend on their behalf. Training: 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. To the extent possible, comments by the Council liaison should reflect the majority position of the City Council. The liaison is not a voting member of the FPAC. Selection of Committee Members: For vacancies on the FPAC, the staff liaison or City Administrator, Mayor, Council liaison, and commission or committee chair (the interview committee) will review the candidate's application material. Formal interviews are encouraged, but are not required. The interview committee will make an appointment recommendation to the Mayor. The Mayor will then make an appointment recommendation to the City Council for its consideration.
