Council directs continued recruitment after Measure P advisory committee loses quorum
Summary
The Measure P advisory committee was reduced to three members, one member resigned and two vacancies remain; council directed ongoing recruitment and temporarily suspending committee meetings until membership is restored.
Staff told the council that earlier policy reduced the Measure P advisory committee from five to three seats, but a recent resignation left the panel with two vacancies and no working quorum. Council members agreed to continue recruitment and temporarily suspend committee meetings until the committee can be restored to membership levels that make its work viable.
Council member Engel said he supported keeping the three-seat structure and continuing recruitment, noting that an election year could increase applicant interest. Another member recommended pausing meetings to avoid overburdening the remaining volunteer.
Why it matters: The Measure P advisory committee was created to gather community input on how voter-approved Measure P revenues are prioritized; without a functioning committee the council loses a community touchpoint for spending recommendations.
What’s next: Staff will continue outreach and advertising for applicants and return to council once membership is sufficient to resume regular committee meetings.
