At its October 14, 2025 meeting, the Concord City Council announced a recruitment for the Measure V Oversight Committee to fill two (2) openings, consisting of one (1) position from the business community, and one (1) position from either the business community or a Concord resident, for four-year terms ending December 31, 2029. The deadline to submit applications to the City Clerk is Friday, November 14, 2025, at 5 p.m.
The Measure V Oversight Committee consists of five (5) members; at least one (1) representing the business community, at least three (3) residents of the City of Concord, and the fifth member from either category. Members serve four-year terms. The Measure V Oversight Committee fulfills two areas of responsibility for each of the years that the Measure V 1% (one cent) rate use and transaction tax is collected:
1. Review the City’s annual audit report including the Measure V tax revenue and expenditures; and
2. Provide recommendations to the City Council on the use of Measure V revenue.
The Committee produces a report that records the results of its review of the City’s audit and its recommendations for expenditure of the revenue generated from the tax. The report is presented to the Council at a public meeting and is a public record.
The City’s Conflict of Interest Code requires the Measure V Oversight Committee members to complete a Conflict of Interest Form 700. Filings are required within 30 days of assuming office and on an annual basis.
… if it’s like other city committees I’ve been on – they just want you to rubber stamp whatever their plans and actions are….. yes, the “oversight” committee is required by law but not that a different opinion or finding will have any hearing… it would be nice if this would be different – usually they just want to be able to check the box “committee in place”
Waste of time —the corrupt council will just ignore the advice and do what they want.
The good people of Concord need all new representation.
The Concord City Council only appoints people who think as they do. They don’t want any diversity of thought. If you think differently from the Concord City Council then you are viewed as a danger to them.
