In November 2018 residents of Placentia approved a 1% Transactions and Use Tax (Measure U). All Measure U funds will remain local and require an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee to provide review of the expenditure of funds generated by the tax and to provide an annual report to the City Council on those expenditures. Members will be appointed for a term of four (4) years and the Committee will meet at least once annually.
Residents interested in serving on the Citizens’ Oversight Committee may obtain an application form from the City Clerk’s Office at Placentia City Hall, 401 E. Chapman Avenue, Placentia, or click on the link below to download an application. For additional inquiries, please call (714) 993-8231. The application deadline is Thursday January 17, 2019 by 5:00 p.m. City Council will conduct brief interviews from the applications received and appointments will be made at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
Interested residents should be aware that in accordance with the Political Reform Act of 1974, the City has adopted a Conflict of Interest Code requiring the disclosure of certain personal financial interests by Commission and Committee members upon assumption of office and annually thereafter. These statements are public records.
The City has vacancies on various committees that need devoted, passionate people to represent the different areas of our community and help us as we continue our mission of superior public services and policies that promote the highest standards of community life in the City of Placentia.
