AMENDED AND REVISED CHARTER FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, TO ALLOW
THIS COMMITTEE TO OPERATE IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH OTHER
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEES

financial reporting, internal controls, and auditing activities and to provide advice to the City

Worth City Council and of the public (Resolution 3417-10-2006); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the creation of the mixed -membership committee, the City
Council enacted a charter to govern the committee, which charter was subsequently amended and
revised multiple times (M&C G-15473; Resolutions 3417-10- 2006, 3775-08-2009, 3802-10-2009,

written charter adopted by resolution, with the other committees being governed in accordance with
the City Council Rules of Procedure; and
WHEREAS, in order to enhance consistency across all standing City Council committees and
allow for greater adaptability, staff recommends that Resolution 4900- 01-2018, which enacted
the current Audit Committee charter be repealed so that the scope,, composition, and duties of any
Council committee charged with advising on matters related to audit and finance can be established
and revised in the same manner as all other City Council committees; and

ensure consistency among Council committees.
