The City of Napa is pleased to announce the appointment of five dedicated community members to serve on the newly established Measure G Citizen Oversight Committee.

The appointments were made at the May 20 City Council meeting, following a competitive application process.
The Measure G Citizen Oversight Committee will have the following responsibilities:
The five appointed members bring diverse professional backgrounds and deep community connections to ensure transparent and accountable oversight of Measure G revenues.

"These five individuals represent the expertise, integrity and community commitment we need to ensure Measure G funds are used wisely and transparently," said City Manager Steve Potter. "Their diverse backgrounds in municipal operations, finance, community advocacy and public service will provide comprehensive oversight that maintains public trust in this important investment in Napa's future."
Committee members will serve two-year terms and begin their work immediately as the City implements Measure G-funded projects, including major road improvements, park enhancements and infrastructure upgrades. At its first meeting, the Committee will review member roles and responsibilities, evaluate an initial report on Measure G expenditures for FY 2024-25, examine the proposed budgets for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 and set future meeting dates and times.
"When the City Council placed Measure G on the ballot, we made a clear promise to voters: these funds would be spent responsibly, locally and with transparency," said Mayor Scott Sedgley. "Establishing this oversight committee is a critical step in upholding that promise. These are experienced, thoughtful community members who bring incredible expertise to the table, and their involvement helps ensure we're delivering on the accountability the public expects and deserves."
