City manager seeks applicants for Measure L and Measure V oversight panels; tax-sharing talks with county planned
Summary
City manager reported vacancies on Measure L (three vacancies) and lack of a Livingston representative on the Measure V oversight panel, announced an ad hoc tax-sharing meeting with the county CEO and asked council to prepare priorities for a strategic plan to align with the budget.
The city manager told the Livingston City Council on May 5 that the city is actively recruiting members for Measure L oversight and needs additional volunteers. The manager said Measure L’s oversight committee requires five members and that, at present, three vacancies remain.
The manager also said Livingston has not had a representative on the Measure V oversight body for approximately six years and that Measure V recently lacked a quorum, preventing action. Staff have continued to post vacancies on the website and social media and have reached out to potential applicants.
Separately, the manager said the city’s ad hoc tax-sharing committee will meet later this month and that the manager will meet with the county’s CEO, Mr. Hendrickson, to outline negotiation points discussed internally by council and staff.
Council directed staff to place a strategic-plan item on the next meeting agenda. A council member requested that each councilmember arrive at the next meeting with clear written priorities so that staff can tie the budget to a formally adopted strategic plan. The city manager committed to providing a written outline to council and department heads ahead of that discussion.
The city manager also said staff are reviewing a scope of work for fire-chief services as part of ongoing operational preparations.
