EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to appoint three members to the Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee.
OBJECTIVE: To reappoint two at-large members and appoint one alternate member to the Infrastructure Surtax
Citizen Oversight Committee.
CONSIDERATIONS: This ad hoc committee was created by Ordinance No. 2018-21, as amended, for the
purpose of providing for citizen review of the expenditure of the surtax proceeds by the County. Membership is
composed of seven regular members (one resident from each of the five Commission districts and two members at-
large) and two alternate members. Members should have financial or business management backgrounds and
experience, and may not be elected officials or current government employees. Terms are two years. A list of the
current membership is included in the backup.
Two regular at-large seats expired on January 12, 2024, and one alternate member resigned on January 11, 2024.
