Huntington Beach
City Council
31. 24-547 Item Submitted by Council Members Kalmick, Bolton, and Moser -
Financial Transparency - Determine Total Cost of Pacific Airshow
Settlement
Recommended Action:
Direct the City Manager to contract an independent third-party expert in financial auditing
or accounting (not firms that prepare reports for marketing entities) to review the
settlement agreement costs and value, City financials, and estimate the Airshow’s net
direct economic benefit to the City. This expert should present their findings within 60 days
at a public City Council meeting, providing detailed assumptions, calculations, and source
material for resident understanding.
