Application for Citizens' Oversight Committee
SANTA BARBARA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
APPLICATION FOR CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
The Board of Trustees of the Santa Barbara Community College District is seeking qualified, interested individuals to serve on the independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (“COC”) of the Measure V Bond program.
Proposition 39 Bond Election
On June 3, 2008, voters residing within the Santa Barbara Community College District
passed Measure V under Proposition 39. Measure V is a $77,242,012 million bond measure
which authorizes funding for needed repairs, upgrades, and new construction projects
to the schools within the Santa Barbara Community College District.
Establishment of a Citizens’ Oversight Committee
After a bond authorized under Proposition 39 is passed, state law requires that the
Santa Barbara Community College District Board of Trustees appoint a Citizens’ Oversight
Committee. The committee was appointed in November 2008.

- Review expenditure reports produced by the District to ensure that Measure V bond proceeds were expended only for the purposes set forth in Measure V;
