The Committee is organized as a citizens' group which consists of five members from the community. The role of the committee is to review expenditures of revenue collected pursuant to the Measure only to determine whether such funds were expended for the purposes specified in the then-current Public Safety Measure Police and Fire Expenditure Plan. The Committee is to issue a report on its findings to the City Council and public at least annually.
