Subject: Measure V Citizens Oversight Committee Name Change
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution to change the
name of the Measure V Citizens Oversight Committee to Clean Beaches and Ocean
Parcel Tax Citizens Oversight Committee.
Executive Summary
On June 12, 2013, the Measure V Citizens Oversight Committee voted to change its
name to the Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel Tax Citizens Oversight Committee. Staff
recommends that the City Council approve a resolution to change the name of the
Measure V Citizens Oversight Committee.
Background
The Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel Tax was adopted in the November 2006
elections by adding SMMC Section 7.64 to the Santa Monica Municipal Code. Known
as Measure V, Section 7.64.080 authorizes the City Council to establish a Citizens
Oversight Committee (Committee) to audit the use of the tax proceeds and to determine
the membership, scope and responsibilities of the Committee. The Measure V Citizens
Oversight Committee was established by the City Council on May 27 2008, by Council
Resolution 10295 (CCS).
Discussion
On June 12, 2013, the Measure V Citizens Oversight Committee voted to change its
name to the Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel Tax Citizens Oversight Committee, and
to direct staff to proceed with the appropriate steps to make the change official.
U
The reason for the name change request is to better describe the purpose of the
Committee for the benefit of the public. Currently, when a Committee meeting is
posted, there is little information to suggest the Committee is tasked with oversight of
projects associated with the Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel Tax. The Committee
decided to change its name to more accurately reflect its work.
Because the Committee's name was established by resolution of the City Council, staff
requests that the Council adopt the attached resolution to change its name.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action.
