Moraga Seeks Applicants For Local Sales Tax Oversight Committee

MORAGA, CA—Residents of Moraga interested in becoming more involved in the community and learning about the local government process are encouraged to apply for a seat on the Local Sales Tax Oversight Committee.

Members of the committee are appointed by the Moraga Town Council and are expected to attend meetings a few times a year. The committee's main purpose is to conduct an annual review of Measure K revenues and expenditures and present the report to the Town Council.

Measure K is a 1-cent local sales tax passed in 2012 by over 70 percent of Moraga voters. Money raised through the tax is used to keep local streets from falling into disrepair and maintain town programs and services. The measure was enacted for 20 years and will expire in 2033 unless voters extend it.

Moraga residents who wish to be considered must complete an application packet and return it in person to the Town Clerk’s Office at 329 Rheem Blvd. or by email to townclerk@moraga.ca.us.

The application period remains open until the vacancy is filled.
