Summary
Paul Harvey, chair of the Measure R citizens oversight committee, presented the committee’s annual report: FY 2023–24 revenue $2,523,774, expenditures $2,743,475 and an ending fund balance of $1,714,843; the committee found stewardship consistent with the ordinance and a clean audit.
Paul Harvey, chair of the Measure R citizens oversight committee, presented the committee’s FY 2023–24 accountability report to the Galt City Council and summarized revenues, expenditures and the committee’s review.
Harvey told the council Measure R revenue for the fiscal year totaled $2,523,774, slightly higher than expected because of investment interest and a $72,000 school district contribution for a student resource officer. Reported expenditures were $2,743,475, and the fund balance decreased by $219,701 to an ending carryover of $1,714,843; the decrease reflected planned deficit spending, he said. The committee received a clean independent audit and confirmed quarterly meetings occurred as required.
Why it matters: Measure R is a voter‑approved half‑cent sales tax that funds public safety programs. Harvey cited Ordinance 2008‑84 as the measure’s governing ordinance and said the oversight committee’s role is to confirm compliance with the measure’s stated purposes.
Council members thanked staff and the committee. There was no council action on the report; Harvey presented it as an informational item.
