Proposed Name Update
In 2004, the passing of the Measure O special tax established the Measure O Citizen Oversight Committee. On November 8, 2022, voters approved to extend the special tax revenue until March 31, 2045, by passing Measure H.
To address the inconsistency between the current tax measure and the name of the Committee, the Citizen Oversight Committee proposes to amend the name to the Public Safety and Prevention Tax Citizen’s Oversight Committee (formerly Measure O COC) – also called the “PSAP COC.” City Council will need to approve the name change by motion. 4 The Measure O Ordinance adopted an Implementation Plan, outlining the uses and purposes for tax revenues over time. This was a 1-year plan from inception in 2004 up through 2015.
In November 2015, City Council approved the first multi-year Implementation Plan to allow planning for the remaining years of the tax as the expiration approached.
On November 8, 2022, voters approved Measure H, extending the tax until March 31, 2045. Due to the extension, the Citizen Oversight Committee approved a one-year, annual Implementation Plan moving forward, as a multi-year plan is no longer needed.
The new Implementation Plan must be passed with 6 affirmative votes from Council.
