The Committee shall provide a forum for citizens to review and report to both the City Council of the City of Paso Robles (“City Council”) and the community as a whole on matters relating to Supplemental Sales Tax revenues and expenditures resulting from both Measure E-12, approved by the voters in 2012 and extended by voters in November 2024 as Measure I-24, and Measure J-20, approved by the voters in 2020.
The Committee has two distinct roles: oversight and advice. The oversight role is the higher priority: Paso citizens need to know whether the voter-approved supplemental sales tax revenues are being spent on community priorities established by the City Council, based on information gained from business and resident surveys and other means. At each regular meeting, the Committee shall review the latest accounting for each of the ballot measures, which shall summarize funds generated and expended. The Committee shall determine if the funds were spent appropriately, and report that to the Council and public. The intent is for expenditures by the City in the priority areas to equal or exceed the revenues generated by the measures.
This recruitment was for two at-large full-term positions. Only one application was received. Staff is recommending that Council interview the applicant and make an appointment. Staff will return to Council at a future date with recommendations regarding the additional vacancy.
