3. Continue to monitor the communications strategy of financial information on the City’s website.

5. Review revenues and expenditures of the Parcel Tax Proceeds consistent with the City Council Adopted Budget, and submit a report of its findings to the City Council.
6. Provide quarterly reports to the City Council on the One-quarter Cent Local Transactions and Use Tax Measure proceeds.
7. Review and provide recommendations to revise Business Tax Structure.
8. Review and provide recommendations on Internal Audit Reports.

9. Revise Committee Bylaws to include intentional diversity and equity strategic efforts for member recruitment.
10. Research and encourage program to incentivize/recognize staff for ideas or programs that generate cost-savings, revenue-enhancements or improve municipal efficiency.
