BACKGROUND:
The Measure K Oversight Committee was established following the voters’ approval of the Measure A sales tax in 2012 to conduct an annual audit of the Measure A sales tax funds to ensure transparency of the Board of Supervisors approved expenditures. The name of the oversight committee has thus been changed to reflect the passage of Measure K in 2016, which extended the sales tax until 2043.
On February 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors, upon the recommendation of the Measure K Oversight Committee, adopted a resolution authorizing an increase in term length of up to four years (or a maximum of twelve years) and staggering the terms of service such that the terms of members do not all expire in the same year. The proposed reappointments reflect such staggering.
DISCUSSION:
Dan Quigg (District 1), Sam Hutkins (District 2), Bob Grassilli (District 3), Manuel Ramirez (District 4), and Wallace Moore (District 5) are being recommended for reappointments. Each member’s prior reappointment in 2019 was a 4-year term in order to provide for the staggering of terms on the Committee. Approval of these reappointments reflect terms effective July 1, 2023. Dan Quigg, Sam Hutkins, and Manuel Ramirez are serving final terms upon approval of these reappointments which reflect their maximum years for service ending June 30, 2025. Bob Grassilli and Wallace Moore will be serving their second 4-year terms ending June 30, 2027 upon approval of said reappointments.
