The Oversight Committee's purpose is to be an additional layer of transparency to assure the public that the funding recipients -- TAMC, the County of Monterey and the twelve incorporated cities -- have complied with the voter-approved requirements specified in Ordinance 2016-01. Consistent with the transparency effort, the Committee's duties includes conducting an independent audit each year and to prepare an annual report regarding the administration of the program, which is presented to the Transportation Agency Board of Directors and made available to the public.
After receiving the FY 2020-21 annual audit report from the Measure X audit-subcommittee in April 2022, the Citizens Oversight Committee asked that a one-page document summarizing the overall five-year compliance record of each jurisdiction to be prepared and presented at the next committee meeting on August 16, 2022.
