The Investment Advisory Board (IAB) was established in 1993. Due to additional oversight and responsibilities added in 2017, the IAB was restructured into the Financial Advisory Commission (FAC), and its membership was increased from five to seven members appointed by the City Council. The FAC is coordinated by the Finance Department (760) 777-7000.

Meetings

The FAC meets quarterly on the second Wednesday of February, May, August, and November, at 3:30 p.m. Special meetings may be scheduled on an "as needed" basis. The day and place of the FAC meetings for upcoming fiscal years is established at the last regularly scheduled meeting of each fiscal year.

Functions

The principal functions of the FAC are:

Review at least annually the city's investment policy and recommend appropriate changes;
Review monthly treasury reports and note compliance with the investment policy and adequacy of cash and investments for anticipated obligations;
Receive and consider other reports provided by the city treasurer;
Meet with the independent auditor after completion of the annual audit of the city's financial statements, and receive and consider the auditor's comments on auditing procedures, internal controls, and findings for cash and investment activities;
Review annually the revenue derived from the one percent (1%) transactions and use tax instituted by voters in November 2016 to ensure these funds are used to provide services, programs and capital projects in the City of La Quinta; and
Serve as a resource for the city treasurer on matters such as proposed investments, internal controls, use of change of financial institutions, custodians, brokers and dealers.
