Ex-officio members serve as a function of their positions within City government to foster successful collaboration between FPAC appointed members and the City. They do not have the power to vote on Council action items, but they can and do occupy leadership roles in FPAC as subcommittee chairs. Membership can vary over time depending on FPAC’s subcommittees and priorities, but the City departments and agencies that participate most frequently include the Philadelphia Office of Sustainability, Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Philadelphia Water Department, Philadelphia City Planning Commission, and Philadelphia Streets Department.
