The Transportation Safety & Investment Plan, known as Measure X, was approved by over 2/3rds of Monterey County voters on November 8, 2016. In accordance with the requirement to establish the Citizens Oversight Committee within 6 months passage of the measure, this report proposes a list of committee members and alternates, nominated by the bona fide organization they are representing, as specified in the Transportation Safety and Investment Plan Policies and Project Descriptions document. The Policies further state that additional members may be appointed by the Transportation Agency Board of Directors, to assure that a broad range of geographic and stakeholders’ interests are represented, as long as total committee membership (excluding alternates) does not exceed 20.
The attached list proposes a Citizens Oversight Committee with 16 members, excluding alternates. In addition, the list shows the staggering of member terms, per the adopted Policies, with half the membership serving a 2-year term and half serving a 3-year term. Note that the Policies also allow any member to be reappointed to a 2-year term for an unlimited number of terms.
Staff requests that the Transportation Agency’s Board of Directors receive these nominations and appoint the nominees to the specified terms to the Transportation Safety & Investment Plan Citizens Oversight Committee.
