Background:
COMPOSITION OF COMMISSION:
The Citizens Oversight Committee (Measure Q) consists of five regular members and one alternate member, appointed to district terms. Each councilmember appoints one member and the Mayor appoints one member (at-large) and one alternate (at-large). The members must be residents of the City and registered voters.
On February 6, 2025, City Council appointed members to this committee as follows:
• District 1 - Benjamin Cantu
• District 2 - Aman Singh
• District 4 - Norman Hauser
• Mayor - Judy Blumhorst (regular member at-large)
Based on the City Council's consensus and direction at the February 4, 2025 meeting, the City Clerk has solicited additional applications for District 3, as only one was initially received. No appointment for Council District 3 was made at the February 6, 2025 meeting; and the Mayor opted to defer the appointment for the alternate position until all regular appointments had been made.
APPLICATIONS RECEIVED:
The remaining eligible applicants (not previously selected) and new applicants meet the minimum requirements of being a resident of the City of Manteca and a current registered voter. All applicants have been interviewed by the District Councilmember and Mayor. These individuals are listed below:
