Financial Accountability & Audit Panel
The City of Santa Clarita and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita is encouraging residents to apply for a position on the Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission, the Arts Commission or the Open Space Preservation District Financial Accountability Audit Panel (FAAP).
The purpose of the Financial Accountability and Audit Panel is to:
- Review and approve the annual work program to ensure land acquisition priorities are adhered to.
- Review the accounting of the funds generated by the Preservation District.
- Work in conjunction with the City’s independent auditor to ensure that the Preservation District funds were spent properly and that good fiscal management of the funds is occurring.
- Make determinations as to whether the proposed expenditures are consistent with the criteria and the requirements established in the Engineer’s Report.
- Prepare an annual written report for the public, summarizing the items above.
The Panel will not be responsible for the selection of land to be acquired by the City; rather, prospective land acquisition is the responsibility and authority of the City Council. Additional responsibilities, duties, and guidelines of the Panel will be outlined and formally approved in the Panel’s Bylaws.
