Have you ever considered volunteering a small portion of your time to be a member of a city committee, board or commission?  Now is the time to take the next step to help out your community.

The Measure H – Citizens’ Oversight Committee (Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee) currently has vacancies.  This committee was established as a part of Measure H, the public safety one-half cent sales tax measure approved by Porterville voters in November of 2005.  The charge of the committee is to review the revenue and expenditures of the three Measure H budgets (Fire, Police and Literacy), and to report its findings to the City Council.  The Committee is comprised of ten members of the public each serving four-year terms, and is required to meet at least once annually after the adoption of the budget. To be eligible for appointment, individuals must either be a resident of Porterville, business owner, or operator.  Committee members receive no compensation. 

Anyone wishing to serve on this Committee is hereby invited to submit a Request for Appointment to the City Clerk.  All Requests will then be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration on May 15, 2012.  The Request for Appointment forms are available on the City’s website at www.ci.porterville.ca.us, or at the Office of City Clerk.
