BACKGROUND
The Local Sales Tax Citizens' Oversight Committee (Committee) was created when Measure B was passed by Roseville voters in the November 6, 2018 election. The Committee is charged with the annual review and report to the City Council on the revenue and expenditures of the Measure B sales and use tax.

• Job-creation and business recruitment initiatives
Services restored
• Library hours

• Maintenance for three citywide parks, allowing for construction to occur
Fiscal health investments
