BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On November 8, 2022, Pacifica voters approved Measure Y, a one-half cent Transactions and Use Tax, through Ordinance No. 887-C.S. The measure became effective on April 1, 2023, and provides locally controlled revenue to help maintain essential City services. Measure Y also requires the establishment of an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to promote transparency and accountability regarding the receipt and expenditure of Measure Y revenues.
Pursuant to Section 3-19.15 of the Pacifica Municipal Code and City Council Resolution No. 40- 2023, the Measure Y Citizens' Oversight Committee was established to review the annual independent audit of Measure Y revenues and expenditures, review the City's report on the auditor's findings, and provide an Annual Report to the City Council regarding the accuracy of those findings. The Committee also serves as a community resource by helping educate the public regarding the use of Measure Y revenues while remaining independent from decisions regarding how those revenues are allocated.
The Committee has completed its review of the FY 2025-26 Measure Y audit and related financial information and is presenting its Annual Report to the City Council. A Committee representative will provide a summary of the Committee's review, and conclusions.
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the Committee's Annual Report and Presentation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Pacifica City Council 2
July 13, 2026
The City Council may provide direction to staff or the Measure Y Citizens' Oversight Committee regarding future reporting or other matters related to Measure Y oversight.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Receipt and filing of the Annual Report and Presentation from the Measure Y Citizens' Oversight Committee is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Enhance organizational and fiscal stability: The Committee's review of Measure Y revenues and expenditures supports transparency, fiscal accountability, and public confidence in the stewardship of voter-approved local tax revenues. • Broaden public communications and collaboration: Presentation of the Committee's Annual Report promotes public awareness of Measure Y revenues, expenditures, and the independent oversight process established by voters.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with acceptance of the Annual Report and Presentation from the Measure Y Citizens' Oversight Committee. The report fulfills the oversight and transparency provisions established by Measure Y and does not authorize the expenditure or appropriation of funds.
