or Vice-Chairperson pro tempore.
Regular meetings shall be held on the day and time established
by resolution of the Oversight Committee as amended from time to time.
The Oversight Committee shall establish a procedure for calling

(Ord. 07-09 4-25-07)
The Oversight Committee is charged with the following responsibilities:
(i) reviewing all appropriations of revenues received by the City
of Inglewood from the transactions (sales) and use taxes generated
by Measure "IT," to determine whether such funds are being spent in
a fiscally accountable manner, consistent with the community's best
interests, and the Strategic Priority Guidelines adopted by the City
Council; (ii) reviewing the audit prepared by an Independent Auditor
retained by the city to determine whether such funds have been spent
responsibly; (iii) prepare and issue the Oversight Committee's own
annual report setting forth their findings in regard to the foregoing
within one hundred eighty days after the end of the preceding fiscal
year.
The Oversight Committee shall confine itself specifically to
funds received by the City of Inglewood from the transactions (sales)
and use taxes imposed pursuant to Measure "IT." City revenues and
funds generated through other sources are outside the scope of the
Oversight Committee. However, the Oversight Committee shall have the
responsibility of monitoring the City's conformance with maintaining
its existing level of general fund support for the city's police services
to insure that the revenues received from the transactions (sales)
and use tax imposed pursuant to the provision of this Chapter add
to, and do not substitute for, the existing level of general fund
support for such services.
In order to preserve the integrity and independence of the Oversight
process, Committee members will not play a formal role in contracting,
project management, construction, or any other aspect of Measure "IT"
funding. In addition, the Oversight Committee is not charged with
decision-making on spending priorities, construction schedules, project
details, funding source decisions (e.g., leveraged funds, developer
fees, etc.), financing plans, tax rate assumptions, or selection of
consultants, design and construction firms.
