Citizens Bond Oversight Committee Information
At their March 9, 2005 Board meeting, the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD) Board of Trustees appointed fourteen members to a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee. The purpose of the committee is to routinely inform the public concerning the expenditure of YCCD bond revenues over the life of the District’s $326 million construction project to ensure that bond proceeds are used properly and for its intended purposes.
In accordance with Education Code, the committee must consist of at least seven members and must include at least one member active in a business organization representing local commerce, an active member in a senior citizens’ organization, an active member in a bona fide taxpayers’ association, an enrolled and active Modesto Junior College or Columbia College student, a member active in a college support organization, and at least two at-large community members who reside in the District.
All appointments were made by the Board of Trustees, chosen from applications submitted to the District. The initial appointments will be staggered, such that one-half of the appointees will serve a one-year term, and the other half a two-year term.
