Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding dissolving the Infrastructure Improvements Advisory Committee for the City of San Luis.  (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)

In October of 2017, City Council created the Infrastructure Improvements Advisory Committee for the City of San Luis under A.R.S.
§9-463.05(G)(2) (the statute is attached).  The statute allows for either an Advisory Committee for Development Fees or an audit every two years.

Here is the language from the Statute:
"In lieu of creating an advisory committee pursuant to paragraph 1 of this subsection, provide for a biennial certified audit of the municipality’s land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan and development fees. An audit pursuant to this paragraph shall be conducted by one or more qualified professionals who are not employees or officials of the municipality and who did not prepare the infrastructure improvements plan. The audit shall review the progress of the infrastructure improvements plan, including the collection and expenditures of development fees for each project in the plan, and evaluate any inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the development fee. The municipality shall post the findings of the audit on the municipality’s website or the website of an association of cities and towns if the municipality does not have a website and shall conduct a public hearing on the audit within sixty days of the release of the audit to the public."

In the gap between Finance Directors, the City Attorney recommended the Advisory Committee.  However, once the current Finance Director was on board, it was found that audits had been prepared.   The Committee members have been contacted individually and have no issue with dissolving the committee.

Staff recommends dissolving the Advisory Committee.
