Description/Analysis:
Issue Detail: On November 6, 2018, voters of the City of Sacramento approved Measure U, a one-cent general sales tax measure, effective April 1, 2019. On October 2, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-0393 creating the Measure U Community Advisory Committee (Committee) included as Attachment 2.
The Committee’s purpose is to provide general oversight of expenditures and revenues generated by the tax. The proposed Operating Procedures (Attachment 3) further outline the process the Committee will use to make recommendations and manage its work. The Committee Operating Procedures ensure transparency and accountability around processes and decisions regarding the recommendations and work product of the Committee.
Policy Considerations: Establishing the Committee is consistent with the Ordinance approved by Council on July 31, 2018, reflected in the adoption of Resolution 2018-0393 and reflects the Councils’ continued commitment to seek community input in funding inclusive economic development investments.
To ensure a robust and diverse applicant pool, all candidates shall complete and submit, and electronic application supplied by the Office of the Clerk prior to the application period closing. At the close of the application period the Clerk shall prepare all applications and transmit them to the Mayor and Council for their review and subsequent nomination.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:

Sustainability: None.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended procedures are consistent with the ordinance adopted by Council on July 31, 2018 and Resolution 2018-0393.
Financial Considerations: The Compensation Commission will determine a stipend, if any for participation on this Committee. The current committee members receive a $50 per meeting stipend. The proposed committee will be authorized to receive reasonable administrative or technical assistant from staff to fulfill its responsibilities.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None
