After public comment, San Marcos council unanimously adopts Measure Q oversight committee bylaws
Summary
Following public comment urging broader representation and clearer spending intent, the council unanimously approved bylaws for the Measure Q Citizens Oversight Committee (Item 10) and directed staff to accept written follow-up from commenters on related non‑agendized tenant issues.
Greg Armstrong, a San Marcos resident, testified during public comment about the proposed bylaws for the Measure Q Citizens Oversight Committee. Armstrong noted the draft language states the COC is advisory only and urged the council to add wording stating the council intends to expend Measure Q funds on improved infrastructure and public safety — the uses voters expected, he said. He also recommended expanding committee membership so each council district is represented rather than keeping the committee at three members.
The council discussed briefly and then moved to approve Item 10. The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones also noted that non‑agendized concerns raised about eviction notices at a mobile home park (addressed separately during oral communications) will be handled offline by staff; members of the public were encouraged to submit written details to staff (Sylvia Daniels) for follow-up.
What happens next: Item 10 will be posted as adopted in the council record; staff follow-up will occur on non‑agendized tenant complaints that were raised during oral communications.
