The committees are tasked with reviewing various projects, financial reports, and informational items to offer recommendations to the board. Committees meet 3-5 times per year, on an as-needed basis, and typically during regular business hours. Committee members must be 16 years or older and reside

If the committee determines that policies, programs and/or projects need to be addressed, a recommendation shall be made to the board of directors.

Measure “A” oversight committee – Measure A was passed by district voters in 2019 to impose a special annual tax to fund Templeton Fire and Emergency Services 24/7 staffing.
