HomeMy WebLinkAbout14 - Confirm Appointments to the Finance CommitteeTO: FROM: PREPARED BY: PHONE: TITLE: ABSTRACT: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report January 27, 2015 Agenda Item No. 14 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Leilani I. Brown, City Clerk — (949) 644 -3005, (brown @newportbeachca.gov Leilani I. Brown, City Clerk (949) 644 -3005 Confirm Appointments to the Finance Committee Due to the City Council's recent amendment to the membership of the Finance Committee, the Mayor shall appoint three Council Members to serve on the Finance Committee and the remaining four non - appointed Council Members shall appoint four Citizen Advisors. All appointments are subject to City Council confirmation. RECOMMENDATION: a) Confirm Mayor Selich's appointments of Council Member Keith Curry (Chair), Mayor Pro Tern Diane Dixon, and Council Member Tony Petros to serve on the Finance Committee; b) Confirm Mayor Selich's appointment of Larry Tucker to serve on the Finance Committee for a one - year term and waive Council Policy A -2, Appointments to Boards, Commissions, and Committees, only as it relates to serving on more than one City Board, Commission or Committee at any time; and c) Confirm Council Member Duffield's appointment of Jack Wu, Council Member Muldoon's appointment of John Warner, and Council Member Peotter's appointment of Bill McCullough to serve on the Finance Committee for a one -year term. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact to this item. DISCUSSION: On January 13, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015 -5 which, among other changes, amended the membership of the Finance Committee as follows: • The Finance Committee consists of seven members. • Three Council Members are appointed by the Mayor, subject to approval by the full City Council. The terms of the Council Members would be indefinite, pending specific City Council action to replace them. 14 -1 • Four "Citizen Advisors" would be recommended by the four Council Members not on the Finance Committee, and these four Citizen Advisors would be subject to approval by the full City Council. Each Citizen Advisor term would last one -year, but reappointments could be made annually. • The Citizen Advisors would have equal voting status. • The Mayor appoints the Finance Committee chair, subject to confirmation of the full City Council. Applications for the Citizen Advisors are attached as Attachment A. All Citizen Advisors must be registered voters of the City, residents of the City, and it is recommended that they be a CPA, CFA, Business /Finance major, or other such designation as may be appropriate. Larry Tucker currently serves on the Planning Commission. Council Policy A -2, Board, Commission, and Committee Appointments, discourages individuals from serving on more than one City Board, Commission, or Committee unless "waived by a majority vote of City Council." Due to Mr. Tucker's background, Mayor Selich recommends that the City Council waive the provision in Council Policy A -2 which generally restricts persons from serving on more than one Board, Commission, or Committee at any given time. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060 (c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

The quality of life in Newport Beach is directly related to the financial standing of the City. The greater the financial strength of the City, the better able the City will be to maintain and enhance its public facilities and retain a highly capable workforce. The Council has established the purposes and responsibilities of the Finance Committee and I believe my educational and work background would allow me to assist the Finance Committee in meeting the expectations the Council has for the Finance Committee. Although I no longer work in public accounting, I still have the thought process of a CPA. In addition, I have spent many years in business so I appreciate the importance of fiscal discipline. My goal on the Finance Committee would be to see the City receive high quality goods and services that enhance life in Newport Beach but at the lowest practicable cost. My service on many City Commissions /Committees tells me that while staff is very capable, they do benefit from citizen oversight from those with private world experience.
