Press release from the City of Menifee:

MENIFEE -- The City of Menifee is currently accepting applications from residents to fill the existing vacancy on the City’s Quality of Life Measure Oversight Committee.

The position will require attendance at two regularly scheduled meetings per year and other special meetings as called.

Passed by Menifee voters in November 2016, the Quality of Life Measure (also known as Measure DD) approved a one-cent sales tax to provide local funding that cannot be taken by the State. The funding provided by the measure has allowed the City to maintain and enhance numerous city services including emergency preparedness, police and fire services, and road safety and traffic mitigation.

The Committee is responsible for reviewing, monitoring, and overseeing the appropriation of the sales tax proceeds and to make recommendations to the City Council to ensure the proposed use of sales tax proceeds is consistent with the purpose of Menifee's Quality of Life Measure. Each City Councilmember selects one Committee Member from their respective district. The current vacancy is for the Mayor’s appointee and applicants can reside within any City Council district to qualify.
