Committee keeps 'qualified elector' requirement for audit commission, agrees at least one member should have financial experience

Committee members debated whether to open audit-commission membership to business owners who do not live in Glendale. Some argued business owners who pay city costs should be eligible; others said membership should mirror other boards and commissions and be limited to registered electors.

After discussion the committee retained the draft language that "each member shall be a qualified elector of the city" and struck bracketed term-limit language. Members agreed by consensus to include a provision (limited to one seat) that at least one commissioner should have professional experience in auditing, accounting or public financial management to provide technical expertise to the commission.
