Request that County staff provide updates on Measure X expenditures and unallocated funds in a consistent and timely way. Consider alternatives for staffing MXCAB in the event that the County Administrator’s Office is unable to uphold their responsibilities. Continue to hold monthly MXCAB meetings until such time as MXCAB determines a different schedule is desired. The Motion was made by Michelle Stewart and seconded by Diana Honig.
