At the Board meeting on June 22, OCTA welcomed four new members of the Measure M Taxpayer Oversight Committee (TOC) and thanked those whose terms had expired.
The 11-member volunteer committee monitors OCTA’s use of Measure M funds and ensures that all revenue collected from Measure M is spent on voter-approved transportation projects.
New members include Anthony Villa of Santa Ana, First Supervisorial District; Alan Dubin of Los Alamitos, Second Supervisorial District; Sony Soegiarto of Brea, Fourth Supervisorial District; and Guita Sharifi of Ladera Ranch, Fifth Supervisorial District.
The implementing ordinance for Measure M requires that the TOC finalists recommended by the Grand Jurors Association of Orange County be chosen by lottery. Each new member will serve a three-year term, beginning July 1, 2015.
OCTA also thanked the outgoing TOC members whose terms have expired for their service and willingness to volunteer personal time to serve the community.
