Hemet is looking for someone to join the Measure U Citizen Oversight Committee, a group that monitors how sales tax dollars are spent.

Measure U was a 1 percentage point sales tax increase approved by voters in November that city leaders vow will only be used for public safety. The advisory committee, which meets quarterly, is charged with reviewing how the city spends the money generated.

A spot on the panel opened when Rob Davis was chosen to fill a seat on the Hemet Unified School District board. The appointee will serve until February 2019.

Applicants can live in Hemet, the city’s sphere of influence or own a business that operates in the city. The deadline to apply is Monday, Oct. 9. Applications are available at City Hall or online at cityofhemet.org.
