The City of Fairfield has a Mayor-Council form of municipal government, with five wards represented and two at-large positions.

Ed Malloy is the current  Mayor of Fairfield.

The City and FPAC

The Mayor is responsible for appointing members to the FPAC Committee, which in turn is responsible for the policies and goals of the station.

FPAC receives primary funding from the City of Fairfield and is part of the city budget.  Budgets are submitted by the station manager to the city council in late winter, for budget approval during March of each year for the fiscal year beginning each July 1.

FPAC videotapes each city council meeting, normally held the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month.  The proceedings are then cable cast over FPAC on the following Tuesday evening at 8:30 p.m. (approximately) and Sunday at 5:30 p.m.

New ... LIVE showings of Fairfield City Council meetings are being held on FPAC9 as of Feb. 2004.  

This is a vital public service that FPAC offers the Fairfield community, as it provides a record of proceedings for those unable to attend and provides the community at large the opportunity to observe issues and ideas being presented for public comment.
