The purpose of the Measure O Citizens’ Oversight Committee is to provide citizen oversight of Measure O funds to ensure all funds are properly spent. The Measure O Citizens’ Oversight Committee reviews the City’s annual general fund budget, mid-year budget, and yearend audited financial information in regards to the receipt and expenditure of the fiscal year’s one-cent transactions and use (sales) tax revenue. This review is based on the City’s Measure O Ordinance No. 2897 adopted by the voters, and input received via the Community Priorities Survey. The committee communicates its findings to the public and the City Council annually (GGMC 3.09.160) and City Council Resolution No. 9540-19).
