ITEM 1 Board and Commission Appointments Item No. 16 enda of Januar 16, 1996 Mayor Fulp announced the resignation of Jesse Valdivia from the Parks & Recreation Commission effective January 16, 1996. ITEM 2 Consider DisbandinglRestructuring the Finance Committee Item No. 18 Agenda of January 16, 1996 Council Member Sanders listed fiscal information provided to City Council. He said the Finance Committee's work was redundant because it considered items previously reviewed at City Council meetings. Council Member Hutton asked City Treasurer Mike Williams if the City's audit firms or the State recommended that the City have a finance committee and who should be on this committee. City Treasurer Williams said he had recommended an audit committee and provided background information. Identifying the need for clarification, Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Sanders, moved to dissolve the existing Finance Committee and not form it again until City Council determines what it expects from this committee. Mayor Fulp stated that lack of disclosure to the City Council and the community led to the creation of the ad hoc committee. He agreed with Council Member Cook's motion to dissolve the existing committee. Mayor Fulp suggested that a new committee immediately be formed to review finances and make recommendations. City Attorney Biggs advised that if the City Council established a standing finance committee, however composed, it would be subject to the Brown Act. OTY CouNcm MEETiNG - JANuARY 24,1996 PAGE 2
