Board of Directors The City Council acts as the Governing Board of the Public Financing Authority (PFA). Each year, the PFA designates its own Chair and Vice-Chair.
City Council/Board of Directors Terms Because City Council members act as the Board of Directors for the PFA, four-year terms on the PFA Board are concurrent with City Council members' terms. The PFA annually reorganizes its officers as Chair and Vice-Chair. The City Clerk acts as the Secretary for the PFA.
Meetings PFA meetings are held only as required, at least once annually for purposes of reorganization of Board officers. All PFA meetings are held at the Cultural Center, 183 North Main St., usually in conjunction with a regular meeting of the Lake Elsinore City Council.
