Action: Review and comment, comment with edits, the December 12, 2024 Measure C Citizen Oversight Committee Action Summary.

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.

Summary: The Measure C Citizens Oversight Committee currently meets every second Thursday of the month at 4:00 p.m. Due to new members joining, staff wonders if the current meeting date and time works with everyone’s schedule. If the current meeting date and time works, members can continue with the current schedule. If the meeting date and time do not work, staff proposes that the committee consider the following meeting dates and times.:

  • Every second Thursday at 5:00 p.m.
  • Every second Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
  • Every third Thursday at 4:00 p.m.

Staff reminds the Measure C Citizens Oversight Committee that they are able to change the date or time of the meetings as necessary.

Action: Oversight Members must come to an agreement on when to meet and provide action on necessary items for 2025.

Summary: Presentation/Orientation on Measure C’s history and the role of the Citizen Oversight Committee.

Action: This is an informational item.

Summary:  Each fiscal year the Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) asks all local agencies receiving Measure C Local Transportation Pass-Through Funds to complete a reporting of how they expect to spend the current year’s Measure C Local Program allocations. The request goes out to local agencies via a form that staff updates and emails out each year.

To date, the following required Local Agency Budget Forms were completed and returned for COC review by local agencies:

  • City of Orange Cove
  • City of San Joaquin

Action: Review, approve and recommend action.
