APPROVE the proposed Measure M Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee Bylaws (Attachment A).

Issue
ISSUE

The Measure M Ordinance established an Independent Oversight Committee (MMITOC) to monitor and review Metro's compliance with the terms of the Ordinance. Subsequently, Selection Panel Guidelines were developed to establish MMITOC procedures related to member assignments, such as selection, compensation, resignation. Those guidelines also state that the MMITOC may adopt bylaws that establish rules for rotation of MMITOC Officers. During its initial meeting in March of 2018, the MMITOC verbally agreed on a process and schedule for rotation of Officers. This action seeks to formalize the agreements and clarify certain MMITOC procedures that are stated generally in the Ordinance.

Discussion
DISCUSSION

During the June 2022 meeting, the Chair recommended that the MMITOC formalize rules for the establishment of officers and their rotation. Staff took the action to develop bylaws in response to this recommendation. Subsequently, staff drafted the bylaws and sought feedback from the MMITOC.

During the December 2022 meeting, staff presented the bylaws to the MMITOC. At that time, the MMITOC requested staff add language to clarify the reporting relationship of the MMITOC. Additional comments from the MMITOC members were also received following the December Board meeting to clarify the reporting to the Board and public. Staff has updated the proposed bylaws to incorporate comments received by the MMITOC within the attached proposed bylaws.
