BACKGROUND:
Measure A is the ten-year half-cent general sales tax approved by San Mateo County voters in November 2012. On November 8, 2016 the voters of San Mateo County approved Measure K, which extends Measure A for 20 years. The Measure requires the appointment of "a committee to perform an annual audit of the general fund revenues generated by [the] Retail Transactions (Sales) and Use Tax." The Committee is bound by a set of Bylaws and Rules of Procedure ("Bylaws"), which set forth the operating procedures and duties of the Measure K Oversight Committee. One of the requirements laid out in the Bylaws is for the Committee to present an annual report to the Board of Supervisors with the Committee's review of (1) the annual audit of Measure K receipts, (2) results of the Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) on Measure K spending, and (3) performance report for existing Measure K initiatives.
DISCUSSION:
The Measure K Oversight Committee met in November and February to complete its review of the results of the annual audit and AUP performed by the Controller's Office, and the annual performance report prepared by the County Manager's Office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Following the approval of the audit and AUP, an ad hoc committee was formed to recommend revisions to performance measures for existing programs and initiatives. The annual audit, AUP, and Performance Report for FY 2016-17 Measure K initiatives and programs are included in this annual report.
