San José City College continued its efforts on several small capital outlay projects with roofing projects and renovations to interior finishes underway. Parking lot repairs and technology infrastructure planning and upgrades were done throughout the College.
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,
Jimmy Nguyen,
Committee Chair
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 2015-2016 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 San José • Evergreen Community College Extension in Milpitas was under construction during 2015-2016. Evergreen Valley College’s Central Green/Arts Plaza was nearly complete, and San José City College’s Physical Education Gymnasium project began construction. 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 South Campus Development project was largely constructed during the 2015-2016 year. This project includes two buildings: a science building and a fitness center. Construction also neared completion 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.
