Expenditure Plan Oversight Committee

OUR PURPOSE

The Expenditure Plan Oversight Committee (EPOC) is an independent advisory committee of citizens created to ensure accountability, transparency and public oversight of all funds collected and allocated under Measure Q, until expended, and Measure T.

The EPOC consists of seven members. The seven members are at-large and appointed by the Board as required by the 2020 Expenditure Plan for Measure T. Members are required to be residents within the Authority's jurisdiction.

The Committee’s roles and responsibilities, as defined by the Expenditure Plan, are to:

• Review expenditure of all funds collected and allocated under Measure Q, until expended, and Measure T, on an annual basis to ensure they conform to the Expenditure Plan.
• Review the annual audit and report prepared by an independent auditor and submit the Committee’s recommendations and oversight report to the Open Space Authority Board.
