Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2019-008 regarding the Santa Ana 2018 <br />Measure X Citizen Oversight Committee and its Bylaws. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On November 6, 2018, the City's voters approved Measure X (Santa Ana Neighborhood Safety, <br />Homeless Prevention, and Essential City Services Enhancement Measure) to increase the City's <br />sales tax rate by 1.5 cents. Measure X established Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 35-214, <br />which requires the City Council to establish a Citizen Oversight Committee (Committee) to serve <br />as an advisory role by resolution. <br />On February 5, 2019, Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-008 establishing the bylaws and <br />Committee's composition. Section 2 of the Resolution provided that Committee Members shall <br />be residents from the ward the City Councilmember represents. However, the Resolution did not <br />provide for any exceptions similar to the exceptions provided for appointments to other <br />Commissions. <br />On May 21, 2019, the Council appointed five Santa Ana residents to the Oversight Committee. <br />Two of the appointments were residents of wards residing outside of the respective Council <br />Members' ward. Staff is asking the City Council to affirm the appointments of the two individuals, <br />acknowledging that these individuals are not residents of the wards that they were appointed to <br />represent. <br />55B-1 <br />
