The Finance and Governance Committee voted on Dec. 9 to recommend that City staff forward a Financial Corrective Action Plan (FCAP) addressing past audit findings to the City Council for action.

Committee members praised staff work on corrective items and moved to adopt the recommendation to forward the plan; the motion passed by a 2–0 roll call vote with Committee member Star and Chair Rodriguez voting in favor. The committee did not adopt any substantive changes to the plan at the meeting; the action was a recommendation that staff present the plan to the full Council.

Earlier in the meeting the committee approved the minutes from Oct. 28 and Nov. 5 by unanimous voice/roll call (motion carried 2–0).

At the end of the meeting a committee member requested a future workshop to examine the City’s handling of California Public Records Act requests after receiving multiple complaints, asking staff to propose ways to streamline service and reduce errors. No schedule was set at the meeting.
