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 />
