Elk Grove’s Measure E oversight committee to expand to 7 members

5 members formally appointed

Listen to the story.

Along with appointing five members to the Measure E oversight committee, the Elk Grove City Council decided to expand the committee size to seven at last evening’s city council meeting.

After hearing comments from several of the 19 committee applicants, Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen noted they had a “tremendous pool of applicants.” Singh-Allen also said that when making her choices, she wants to ensure each of the four city council districts is represented.

Singh-Allen announced her appointments according to the four districts, with the fifth being informally designated as an at-large position. The five members nominated by Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and approved by the four council members are the following:

• District 1 – Judy Covington
• District 2 – Allen Vito
• District 3 – Harminder Singh Khangura
• At large – Hollis Erb

After the city council approved the choices, Singh-Allen asked and was granted approval by the city council to expand the committee by two. Singh-Allen said when the matter appears on a future city council meeting agenda, she will nominate Brett Bartholomew and Valerie Erwin.
