If you want to track how the local college is spending voter-approved bond money, here’s your chance.
Santa Monica College is seeking applications for the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, which oversees the implementation of Measures U and S, the 2002 and 2004 bond measures that are funding capital improvement projects at the college. The application deadline is Friday, June 2.
Two of the vacancies are specifically for a Malibu resident and a representative of one of the college’s support organizations, such as the SMC General Advisory Board or SMC Associates. Applications also are encouraged from representatives of Santa Monica neighborhoods.
To qualify for appointment, an applicant must be at least 18 years old; must not be a college employee or official; and must not be a vendor, contractor or consultant to the college.
The SMC Board of Trustees will review all applications and make the final appointments. Applications are available by calling (310) 434-4402 or by going to www.smc.edu/admin/trustees/CitizensBondOversightCommittee/default.htm.
The committee was established in spring 2002, as required by state law, to oversee the implementation of Measure U, the $160 million bond passed by 70 percent of Santa Monica-Malibu voters. The committee’s responsibility was expanded to include oversight of Measure S, which was passed in November 2004. The bond measures are funding a wide range of projects, including replacement buildings, seismic retrofitting, safety and technology upgrades, and more. Alumni among us
