The Measure M Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (MMITOC) provides an enhanced level of accountability for expenditures of sales tax revenues made under the Expenditure Plan and plays a valuable and constructive role in the ongoing improvement and enhancement of project delivery contemplated under the Measure M Ordinance.
The MMITOC provides quarterly review of Measure M implementation, including revenue generation and expenditures across subfunds and investment categories. In addition, a critical oversight role for the MMITOC is within the Measure M Five Year Comprehensive Program Assessment process, as directed by the Measure M Ordinance and Guidelines.
