To: The Board of Trustees and Citizens of the San José • Evergreen Community College District
The Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee is pleased to present its 2014-2015 Annual Report on the District's two general obligation bond programs. In 2004, voters in the San José • Evergreen Community College District approved a $185M general obligation bond initiative, Measure G-2004. In November of 2010, the voters again demonstrated their confidence in the District and passed Measure G-2010, a $268M general obligation bond initiative. These bond measures, established under Proposition 39, 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.
Measure G-2004 is beginning to wind down as its last three major projects complete design and enter the construction phase. The Joint Use 21st Century Post-Secondary Education Center in Milpitas completed its programming and design phases and moved into construction with the new fiscal year. Evergreen Valley College’s Central Green/Arts Plaza began construction, and the design of San José City College’s Physical Education Gymnasium project was completed and approvals received for the project to be bid. These last two projects are jointly funded by Measure G-2004 and Measure G-2010.
Progress on Measure G-2010 continues to result in wonderful new facilities. Evergreen Valley College’s Central Plant and Police Renovation projects were celebrated with a grand opening ceremony. Construction began on Evergreen Valley College’s South Campus Development project. This project includes two buildings: a science building and a fitness center. Please visit the live web cam to view its progress. Construction also began on Evergreen Valley College’s new Automotive Technology building.
Additionally, there were utility upgrades and network infrastructure work done throughout the campus, as well as numerous small capital repair projects under planning, design and construction.
San José City College continued its efforts on several small capital outlay and renovation projects. The Iron Workers’ Training Center neared the completion of construction. Renovations to the Career Technology spaces in buildings 100 and 200 were completed. Parking lot repairs were underway, and technology infrastructure planning and upgrades were done throughout the College.
The renovation of the District’s new office building was completed, resulting in the relocation of all district functions from the EVC campus to the downtown facility. Network upgrades continue throughout the District.
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.
