Purpose
On November 5, 2024 the voters of the City of San Marcos approved a temporary one percent sales tax by a majority vote, known as “Measure Q.” Section 3.22.110 of the San Marcos Municipal code establishes a Citizens’ Oversight Committee. The Citizens’ Oversight Committee shall automatically dissolve once all Measure Q revenues have been collected, expended, and accounted for, and that the Citizens’ Oversight Committee shall have fulfilled all of its responsibilities.
Per Section 3.22.110 the Citizens’ oversight Committee shall:
- Serve in an advisory capacity to guide the expenditure of the funds throughout the life of Measure Q through the review of the spending plan and budget as part of the City’s annual budget process.
- Annually review the Independent Auditors' Report and compliance on revenues and expenditures and the Measure Q Spending Plan. After conducting such review, the Citizens’ Oversight Committee shall report to the City Council, as part of the City’s annual budget process, regarding its findings and recommendations.
- Conduct at least two (2) open public meetings per year, properly noticed and posted agendas, and reports and minutes pursuant to the Brown Act.
Make a finding prior to any future renewal of the tax measure that, in the absence of extenuating circumstances, funds have been expended on improved infrastructure
