In July 2010, the Mayor, in cooperation with Gahanna City Council, appointed a Citizens Financial Advisory Committee (CFAC). The committee is a diverse group of Gahanna residents and businesspersons; some were asked to serve directly and others volunteered. The committee was charged with reviewing the General Fund’s 2011 planned revenue and expenses and the five-year forecast to assist the City in developing recommendations for the coming year and the future.
Based on the strategic thinking of the CFAC, the recommendations were categorized into four key focus areas: Revenue and Budget, Sustainable Growth, Accountability and Assessment and Innovative Revenue. The four focus areas are a result of diverse perspectives and a collaborative effort by the committee. These four focus areas have been identified as having a large payback opportunity for the City.
