The Citizens’ Sales Tax Oversight Committee was established for the oversight of the 2014 Sales Tax Measure. The Committee shall annually review revenues and expenditures from the collection of the tax created by the adoption of Ordinance No. 581, and shall also review the Annual Road Report prepared by the City. The Committee shall, through the City Manager or her designee, submit the Committee’s findings and conclusions to the City Council.
The Citizen's Sales Tax Oversight Committee is comprised of nine community members; seven members appointed to the Committee by individual Atascadero community groups and two members appointed by the City Council. Appointees shall be residents of the City; however, no member of the Committee shall be an elected official.
