Council accepts Measure A accountability report and committee recommendations
Summary
The Measure A oversight committee and staff presented an annual accountability report with new visual aids and a bond‑funding schedule; council accepted the report and discussed bond proceeds, capital allocations (about $20 million budgeted to roads projects this fiscal year) and debt service estimates.
Patrick Shields, chair of the Measure A oversight committee, presented the Measure A annual financial accountability report, highlighting efforts to improve public presentation of spending via pie charts and web‑posted visuals. Staff said the budgeted proceeds would allocate roughly $20 million to capital road projects in the fiscal year and estimated debt service near $3 million.
Council members and members of the public asked for clearer public displays of where Measure A funds are used — including maps and listings of repaired roads and staff counts for public‑safety spending — and staff said quarterly reports and the website contain detailed breakdowns.
Council approved the accountability report after discussion and public comment; the oversight committee meets quarterly and will continue to refine public materials.
