The SSTOC meets on a quarterly basis, during the months of May, August, November, and February. As such, SSTOC members can expect to dedicate two-to-six hours per year to ensure that revenues are spent on the high-priority areas identified by the City Council and to provide the needed feedback to the public. Applicants are encouraged to review the SSTOC Bylaws for a complete overview of the committee’s purpose, roles, and responsibilities: www.prcity.com/supplementaltax
