BOARD AGENDA BACKUP<br />

PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE<br />

MERCED COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT<br />

AT THE JANUARY 17, 2012, MEETING OF THE BOARD<br />

Item: Change to Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee Bylaws<br />

Presented By: Mazie L. Brewington<br />

For: Information Action X<br />

Background Information<br />

Pursuant to Education Code Section 15278, the District established the Citizens’ Bond<br />

Oversight Committee at a Board of Trustees Meeting held on February 4, 2003, in order to<br />

satisfy the accountability requirements of Proposition 39. The Board of Trustees adopted<br />

the Citizens’ Oversight Committee Bylaws, setting forth the duties and rights of the<br />

Committee, at a meeting held on June 17, 2003.<br />

Recently enacted Senate Bill 423 amends Education Code section 15286 to now require<br />

the annual, independent financial and performance audit reports for the preceding year to<br />

be provided to the citizens’ oversight committee, established pursuant to Section 15278,<br />

by March 31, of each year.<br />

The purpose of the committee is to “inform the public concerning the expenditure of bond<br />

revenues.” The committee is charged with reviewing the expenditure of revenue to ensure<br />

the bond revenues are expended in compliance with the purposes of the bond and the<br />

requirements of Proposition 39.<br />

Recommendation/Requested Action<br />

It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve the update to the Bond Oversight<br />

Committee Bylaws, which incorporates the new requirement.<br />
