CANCELLED: Measure C Citizen Oversight Committee

About Presentations:

Action: Review and comment, comment with edits, the January 9, 2025 Measure C Citizen Oversight Committee minutes.

Summary:  During its first 20 years, Measure C delivered over $1 billion in improvements to state highways, county roads and city streets. Due to the success of the original measure, 78% of voters approved extending Measure C for an additional 20 years, from 2007-2027. The extension expenditure plan expanded Measure C’s role to fund six programs for many different transportation improvements and programs with revenues of $1.4 billion.

As the extension measure comes to an end, a second renewal effort has begun. Staff will provide periodic updates until a member of the Oversight Committee is elected and meetings have begun.

Action: This is an information item.
