About the Shores Park Master Plan Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee

The Shores Park Master Plan Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee provides input to the City Council on Phases Two and Three of the master planning effort, which includes the development of a preferred concept for the Master Plan.

About the Measure Q Citizen Advisory Committee

In 2016, the Del Mar voters passed the Measure Q ballot initiative creating a one cent transaction and use tax (sales tax). As part of the ballot initiative, the City was required to establish the Measure Q Citizen Oversight Committee to review, provide oversight, and report annually to the City Council on Measure Q Fund revenues and expenditures.

A primary responsibility of the Committee is to verify that Measure Q revenues are properly set aside in a separate fund, known as the Measure Q Fund, for projects approved by the City Council and that related expenditures are accurately tracked. The Committee will report to the City Council at a public meeting annually. Providing input on how Measure Q fund will be spent is not a responsibility of the Committee.

About the Traffic & Parking Advisory Committee

Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee (TPAC) was established with the purpose of developing advisory recommendations to the City Council on specified traffic and parking items referred to the Committee by City staff or the City Council. The Committee relies on the advice of City staff, including the City’s traffic and engineering consultants, and the Sheriff’s Department. TPAC also has the authority to refer specific concerns to the City’s contract traffic engineer, upon approval of the City Manager.
