The recently appointed Santa Monica College Citizens Bond Oversight Committee will hold its first meeting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 26 in the Ilona Jo Katz Board Room (Room 117 of the Business Building) at Santa Monica College, 1900 Pico Blvd. As required by state law, the 16-member committee was appointed to oversee the implementation of projects funded by Measure U, the $160 million bond measure for capital improvements passed by Santa Monica-Malibu voters last March.
The first meeting will be largely organizational, with election of officers, review of bylaws and schedule of future meetings topping the agenda. The committee — which will meet regularly under the Brown Act, California's open government law — is responsible for reviewing quarterly reports to ensure that bond money is spent only for purposes set forth in the ballot measure.
