Months after voters strongly approved a one-cent sales tax to fund specific city functions, the Crescent City City Council approved a five-person board to oversee the tax revenue.
By a 3-2 vote, the council approved Mayor Jason Greenough s choices for the board. Greenough named Cindy Cruse, Heidi Kime, Emery Mattz IV, Ernie Perry and Kelly Schellong as the first members of the Measure S Oversight Committee.
The five were chosen from eight applicants, all that were qualified, according to City Manager Eric Wier. Measure S came with huge support from our community, but it also comes with a huge responsibility, Wier said.
