The Moraga Town Council recently adopted the final resolution creating the Citizens' Oversight Committee that will review and report annually on the receipt of revenue and expenditure of funds from the town's new 1 percent sales tax. Now the town is looking for volunteers interested in serving on the new committee.
The committee will be comprised of seven members serving two-year terms, meeting between two and four times per year or as reasonably determined by themselves or the council. It will review the status and performance of the programs and services funded wholly or partially with proceeds from the tax, and will prepare an independent annual report for the council. The committee will not review or recommend road repair projects.
Residents with expertise in finance and accounting (preferably public sector finance); pavement management and engineering; capital project management; and public affairs and communications are encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply has been extended until noon Feb. 20. Applications can be found online at www.moraga.ca.us and must be submitted to the town clerk at 329 Rheem Blvd.
