COLUSA, Colusa County — October 27, 2026. Voters and taxpayers looking to understand how Colusa spends dedicated local revenue can start with the city’s Measure B information page. The measure provides locally raised sales-tax revenue for specified public priorities, and Colusa publishes project maps, oversight information and annual reports so residents can follow how the money is used.
What can Measure B support?
The city identifies street repair and maintenance, maintenance of public trees, park improvements and public-safety services among the uses for Measure B revenue. Those are the city’s described spending priorities, not a claim that any particular road, tree or park has already been improved using a specific amount.
The city’s official materials include a road repair and repaving plan, a project map, and reports for fiscal years 2023–24 and 2024–25. Anyone evaluating a specific contract or expenditure should consult the applicable fiscal-year report and council-approved budget instead of assuming that planned funds have been spent.
What does the Citizens Oversight Committee do?
Colusa established a Citizens Oversight Committee comprising volunteer community members. According to the city, the committee reviews expenditure information and makes regular reports to elected officials and the public on whether spending follows the purposes stated for the measure.
The city’s published schedule calls for quarterly oversight meetings. The relevant meeting agenda and council records, rather than the schedule alone, establish when a particular review occurred and what members concluded. Residents should verify meeting dates before attending.
How to check whether a project received funding
Start by matching the location against the city’s Measure B project map. Next, look for the contract award or appropriation in council records and the year-end financial report. Public notice of a proposed street repair does not necessarily mean the city has awarded a contract or finished the work.
Residents can also contact the city clerk to ask about public meeting participation or how to obtain a particular record.
