Information
Referral History:
Contra Costa County voters passed Measure X, a ½ cent sales tax levied countywide (exempting food sales), in November 2020. Collection of the sales tax began in April 2021 with allocations starting in FY21-22.

The Measure X Community Advisory Board was established by the Board of Supervisors on February 2, 2021 to advise the Board of Supervisors. It consists of 17 members, composed of 10 Supervisorial District appointees (2 per Supervisorial District) and 7 At-Large appointees. The advisory body also includes 10 alternates, composed of 5 At-Large appointees and 5 Supervisorial District appointees (1 per Supervisorial District). The Finance Committee shall ultimately make every effort to ensure that there is representation from the broadest cross-section of stakeholders as directed by the Board as well as geographic, racial and ethnic representation reflecting the County’s diversity.

On August 25, 2022 Kimberly Aceves-Iniguez notified county staff that she would no longer be able to serve as the At-Large 2 appointee on the Measure X Community Advisory Board. On September 13, 2022, the Clerk of the Board declared the vacancy and publicly posted a continuously open application process for the vacant seat.

At the March 6, 2023 meeting of the Finance Committee, the Committee shall invite each applicant wishing to make a public comment regarding their qualifications to do so. The Committee may ask follow-up questions, and at the end of the meeting will deliberate and make final nominations to the Board of Supervisors.
