SamTrans Seeks Volunteers for Measure W Citizen’s Oversight Committee
The San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) is recruiting members for the newly formed Measure W Congestion
Relief Plan Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC). The COC is
tasked with reviewing the administration of tax revenue to ensure that
funds are invested in a manner consistent with the plan.
Appointed
members of the COC will receive findings of an independent audit, hold
a public hearing and issue a report annually to provide county
residents with information regarding how Measure W revenues are being
spent.
COC members will be appointed by the SamTrans Board of
Directors based on a written application. Interested persons can either
fill out an online application or download a fillable/printable application here. Applications are due no later than October 30, 2020.
Under
SamTrans’ Board-approved appointment process, terms for COC positions
will be staggered. The length of each appointee’s initial term will
vary, with no term exceeding three years. Five members will serve
initial terms of one year, five other members will serve two-year
initial terms and the remaining five members will serve full three-year
terms. Subsequent terms will be three years for all members. Seats with
one-, two- and three-year initial terms will be selected randomly prior
to the application process.
Meetings will occur at least once annually, with the first meeting set
for early 2021. All public meetings will be hosted virtually via Zoom
until further notice and conducted in accordance with the Ralph M.
Brown Act.
