The Measure C and Measure K Citizens Budget Oversight Committee (Committee) is responsible for reviewing the Utility Users Tax, Oil Industry Business License Tax and the newly passed 3/4 of one percent Transaction Use tax (Measure K).

Each January, the Committee begins to develop input to be presented to the City Council in April/May regarding the upcoming budget preparation and its recommendation on spending revenue and adjusting expenditures.
