The Modesto City Council on Tuesday night unanimously voted to reject a recommendation to repeal an ordinance that created a commission to oversee Measure L sales tax spending to improve traffic conditions throughout Stanislaus County.
Had the council approved the recommendation, a new ordinance would’ve suspended meetings for the Citizens’ Transportation Sales Tax Commission and changed its duties to emulate those of the Stanislaus Council of Government’s Measure L oversight committee.
As part of the council’s 7-0 vote, the council agreed to create an ad-hoc council committee to have comprehensive discussions with the oversight commission and city staff to make changes that would expedite road projects funded by the sales tax.
