Applications open for Concord Measure Q oversight committee
The Concord City Council discussed the formation and appointment of the Measure Q oversight committee at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan 25. Measure Q, passed by Concord voters in November, establishes a half-cent local sales tax increase that sunsets in five years. The measure requires an oversight committee to be appointed by the City Council.
The committee will provide recommendations to the City Council on the use of Measure Q revenue, review the City's annual audit report and present its findings annually at a public meeting.
The committee will be made up of seven members. Four must be Concord residents, two must represent the Concord business community and one can be either a resident or a business representative. The committee will meet three to six times annually from February through June of each year to coincide with the City's budget cycle.
The application period for those interested in serving on the committee is from Monday, Jan. 31 through Friday, Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. The City Council is expected to appoint the committee at its March 8 or March 22 meeting.
Applications are available online at www.cityofconcord.org. For additional information, contact the City Clerk's office, (925) 671-3495.
