San Jose Evergreen Community College District Citizens Bond Oversight Committee
Letter From the Committee Chair

Lessons learned on Measure G-2004 informed the set-up of the new bond program. The colleges' facilities master plans defined the initial project list, preliminary budgets and schedules were developed and continue to be refined, the program and construction management firm and the consulting firm for the program's Environmental Impact Report (EIR) were selected through a defined process and began their work, preliminary facilities assessments were made, and processes and procedures were developed. It has been a busy year!

The Committee wishes to report that, to the best of its knowledge, the San José / Evergreen Community College District is in full compliance with the responsibilities as described in Article XIIIA, Section 1 (b)(3) of the California State Constitution, which address bonded indebtedness incurred by a community college district. We encourage the community to visit the Measure G web site for additional information about the projects and expenditures, as well as our planned meeting dates and times for the coming year.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathy Kyne, Chairperson

The San José / Evergreen Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee is pleased to submit this annual report on the District's two general obligation bond programs to the residents, taxpayers, and voters of the San José / Evergreen Community College District for the fiscal year 2010-2011.

In 2004, San José / Evergreen Community College District passed a $185M general obligation bond initiative, Measure G-2004. In November of 2010, the District once again received strong community support with the passing of Measure G-2010, a $268M general obligation bond initiative. These bond measures have the common goal of improving and equipping the teaching environments to better serve our students' needs. The Committee and the District wish to thank the community for their continued support of our students.

The Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) has the responsibility of providing oversight on both Measures G-2004 and G-2010. The principal duties of the Committee are to ensure that the bond proceeds have been expended for the purposes set forth in the ballot language for each bond, report the progress annually to the public and provide a compliance statement. The San José / Evergreen Community College District's Board of Trustees is responsible for monitoring the project list, the priority of projects and approval of budgets/spending levels of individual projects.

The committee is pleased with the progress made during this fiscal year on both bond programs. Measure G-2004 saw continued progress on its remaining projects which you will see highlighted in the body of this report.

With respect to Measure G-2010, the bond was passed and the initial planning activities of a large program were initiated during this reporting year.
