Role of the FPC

The FPC reviews applications for financial assistance from the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds and makes recommendations to the WIFA Board regarding those applications. The FPC meets several times per year to review financial assistance applications, and the WIFA Board may require the committee to hold additional meetings to consider applications that are or may become time sensitive. The committee also allows members of the public to provide comment on any application considered by the committee at a meeting.

The FPC is considered a subcommittee of the WIFA Board for the purposes of Arizona Revised Statute section 49-1206.

The purpose of the SRF programs is to provide financial assistance to political subdivisions, Indian tribes and eligible drinking water facilities for constructing, acquiring or improving wastewater treatment facilities, drinking water facilities, nonpoint source projects and other related water quality facilities and projects.

Committee membership carries with it an obligation to participate actively in committee work through active attendance at committee meetings, reviewing and discussing staff reports, loan applications, policies and procedures, and other technical information.
