Citizen Oversight Committee

from Kristen Young

Dear fellow members of GCC,

Alachua County and the City of Gainesville are seeking applications from citizens for appointments to the Citizen Oversight Committee for the proposed transportation surtax. The county’s deadline is September 10th and the city’s deadline is September 9th. The commitment to meetings per year is minimal. From the county’s share of the proposed tax, 5% will go toward bike/ped projects. The city also is has a proposed projects list for bike/ped.

Find out more about the County’s application process here: http://www.alachuacounty.us/Depts/Communications/Pages/Detail.aspx?itemID=2321

If you have any questions, please ask (send an email to me). This is a great way to be involved in local government and you will have the gratitude of the bike community for your involvement.

Best regards,

Kristen Young
