The Mayor and City Council of Stonecrest affirm that DeKalb County’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) approved by voters is the City's opportunity to affect substantive improvements within city limits. These improvements will connect our citizens and start to form our City into one defined by the collective pursuit of a high quality of life for all residents. To further accomplish this vision, the City established the SPLOST Oversight Committee.
The purpose of the SPLOST Committee is to: provide necessary and appropriate advice, reviews, reports, and recommendations to City Council on SPLOST projects.
Membership
The SPLOST Oversight Committee comprises nine (9) members, two (2) of which are councilmembers appointed by the City Council. The City Council establishes qualifications for members of the committee, except that each member must be either, a resident of the city, or a member of the City Council.
Each committee person shall be nominated and approved by the City Council. Should the committee member move out of the city, he/she may remain active until the City Council appoints a replacement. Members must attend two-thirds (2/3) of the SPLOST Oversight Committee meetings in a calendar year. Noncompliance warrants removal from the committee.
