The primary purpose of the Finance Committee and Capital Planning is to act in an advisory role to the Board of Trustees in carrying out its fiduciary responsibilities as they relate to ongoing fiscal stability and sustainability of the District through the responsible stewardship of available resources; ensuring the ongoing effective operation of the District by maintaining adequate cash reserves; monitoring the fiscal condition of the District as an integral part of the policy and decision-making process; evaluating significant changes in the fiscal environment and make necessary, timely, financial and educational adjustments; and providing for both short-term and long-term goals and objectives.
The Committee is responsible for the oversight of the District-wide budget development process through a review of Board priorities, budget assumptions, allocation model, and the annual budget development calendar. 

The Committee will monitor the financial status of the District through the review of reserve balances, financial reports, actuarial studies and other relative materials, as well as internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.  

The Committee recommends to the Board the selection of the District independent auditor, meets periodically with the auditor to ensure appropriate financial controls are in place and the annual financial reports are prepared timely and in accordance with State regulations.

The Committee examines the relationship of the campus facilities master plans to submitted proposals for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings or other facilities or improvements, and reviews the fiduciary viability of any architectural or construction management firms recommended for Board approval.

The committee meets monthly or on an as-needed basis (at least quarterly).
