Article

The City continues to accept applications from Redlands residents living in City Council District 3 who are interested in serving on the Measure T Oversight Committee. Deadline for filing applications is Feb. 14.

The Measure T Oversight Committee is an independent committee established to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council for the purpose of providing independent advisory review of the proposed expenditure of revenues generated by the City’s transactions and use tax. The committee shall advise the City Council regarding the use of transactions and use tax revenue, according to the priorities set forth in each fiscal year adopted budget.

The duties of the committee shall include review of the City’s expenditure of revenues received from the one percent transactions and use tax imposed by Measure T, on an annual basis; act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all other policy matters pertaining to Measure T funds; and present an annual written report to the City Council.

The five citizen members of the committee are each selected from one council district and appointed by the council member of that corresponding district, with the approval of the City Council.

Currently, there is one opening for a Measure T citizen member. Applications are being accepted for residents of District 3. The City Council District Boundary Map adopted March 15, 2022, can be found on the City of Redlands website at https://www.cityofredlands.org/elections.
