DISCUSSION:
A vacancy was posted on the Audit Committee on December 19, 2023 due to the resignation of John Fullerton. The vacancy was posted, and applications have been accepted (Attachments 1-4). All applicants were contacted and advised of the appointment consideration taking place today, Feb. 6, 2024.
The vacancy is an at-large position. The appointee would serve the remainder of the term which ends on April 4, 2024 and an additional term of two years with an end date of April 4, 2026.
All appointed members of the Audit Committee are required to comply with the California Fair Political Act and file Form 700s as well as completing the AB1234 Ethics Training requirements every two years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to a volunteer being appointed to the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee holds an oversight role in the county's annual audits, which examine the county's spending each year. In addition, the Audit Committee's charter authorizes the body to expend up to $50,000 each year to carry out certain responsibilities related to its duties. Audit members do not receive per diem or mileage reimbursement for travel.
