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.

The proposed reappointments reflect such staggering.
