APPOINTMENTS OF DELEGATE AND ALTERNATIVE REPRESENTATIVES TO OUTSIDE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
The following City Council appointments as delegate and alternate representatives to various governmental agencies have traditionally been made at the first regular City Council meeting in December, or at a City Council meeting in which the newly elected Council Members are sworn in. 

Amended California Code of Regulations 18705.5 allows Councilmembers to make, participate in making, or use their position to influence such a decision if certain conditions are satisfied.  To meet this regulation and allow Councilmembers to participate in their own appointment process, the City Council took action on December 3, 2012, to adopt Fair Political Practices Commmission (FPPC) Form 806 and directed staff to post the document on the City’s website.  FPPC Form 806 sets forth each appointed position for which compensation is paid, the salary or stipend for each appointed position, the name of the Councilmember who has been appointed to the position, the name of the public official, if any, who has been appointed as an alternate, and the term of the position.  FPPC Form 806 has been kept current and maintained on the City website as required by law.

H. INTERNAL AUDIT COMMITTEE - 1-YEAR TERM
The current appointees are Councilmember Espinoza and Councilmember Medrano.  Pursuant to generally accepted auditing standards and best practices to ensure open and direct lines of communication with the City’s independent external audit firms, the City established an Internal Audit Committee in Fiscal Year 2007-2008, comprised of two Councilmembers appointed by the City Council.  The committee meets, when necessary, with City management staff, Finance Department staff, and the City’s independent external auditors, who presents and discusses annual required audit communications.  In addition, the auditors may meet independently with the committee to understand how the City Council exercises oversight of management’s processes for identifying and responding to the risks of fraud in the entity, the internal controls that management has established to mitigate these risks, and to determine their views about the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud affecting the entity. The City Council's past practice has been to appoint the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem to serve as members of the audit committee; however, City Council may choose to appoint other Councilmembers to this committee.  The committee members do not receive a stipend and/or salary.

J. LA HABRA REWARDS FUND COMMITTEE - INDEFINITE TERM
There is currently one Citizen-at-Large vacancy on this committee due to the resignation of Jerry Powell on June 28, 2021. 

On June 1, 1995 a reward fund was established by the City Council. On July 20, 1995, City Council made appointments to the La Habra Reward Fund Committee and set policy establishing the composition of the committee, which included the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem serving as City Council representatives, one member from the Executive Management Staff appointed by the City Manager, and two members from the public appointed by City Council.  At its May 6, 2013, meeting, City Council appointed Jerry Powell, and at its January 22, 2019, meeting, City Council appointed Ron Woodward as members of the public on the committee.  On July 19, 2021, City Manager Sadro appointed Chief Adam Foster as the Executive Management Staff committee member.  Since its establishment in 1995, the Committee has met five times on an as needed basis.

Current members of the Reward Fund Committee include:

Two members from the City Council:
· Mayor 
· Mayor Pro Tem 

One member from Executive Management Staff appointed by City Manager:
· Chief Adam Foster

Two members from the public appointed by City Council:
· Ron Woodward
· Vacant due to Jerry Powell resignation

Although the Committee rarely meets, staff recommends that City Council review the appointments of the two members of the public for the committee and either reappoint Ron Woodward, who has expressed a willingness to continue serving on the committee, and select one additional member of the public to serve on the committee, or appoint two new members from the general public.

CITY SELECTION COMMITTEE
The City Selection Committee is governed by Government Code Section 50270, which states that the membership of a City Selection Committee shall consist of the Mayor of each city within the County.  Section 50271 states that, when the Mayor is unable to attend, he/she shall designate another member of the City Council to attend and vote at the meeting as the Mayor’s representative. The representative can vary from meeting to meeting.  At this time it is not necessary to appoint an alternate since the Mayor can designate an alternate on an "as needed" basis at his/her discretion. The delegate for this board does not receive a stipend and/or salary.

Each member of the City Council receives a monthly stipend of $500 per month from the City General Fund. Housing Authority Directors are budgeted to receive $50 per meeting, not to exceed four meetings per month ($200/month total), funded from the Housing Authority budget.
