The Committee is appointed by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s Board of Directors pursuant to Measure AA to ensure accountability, transparency and public oversight of all funds collected and allocated under Measure AA.

The Expenditure Plan approved as part of Measure AA defines the Committee’s roles and responsibilities as follows:

  • Review Plan expenditures on an annual basis to verify conformity with the Expenditure Plan.
  • Review District’s Annual Audit and Annual Accountability report and present the Committee’s findings to the Board at a public meeting.
  • Review any proposed amendments to the Expenditure Plan.

The Committee does not oversee any other District financial information nor does it set policy or provide input or direction on projects, budgets, work plans, or financial matters pertaining to other District funds. All actions, including decision about selecting projects for funding, will be made by the Board in public meetings. Click here for a list of upcoming meetings.
