The Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD) is seeking two residents to join its Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC).
The committee needs two new members: one Community-at-Large member, and one representative who is an active member of a bona fide taxpayers’ association. The period to apply for a COC membership ends on Sept. 6.
The COC oversees Measure E, a $440 million bond measure approved by the voters in 2008, and Measure LB, an $850 million bond measure approved by the voters in 2016. Funds are used exclusively for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of LBCCD facilities or the acquisition or lease of real property for use by the District.
Committee applicants must be at least 18 years old and reside within the LBCCD boundary, which includes the cities of Avalon, Lakewood, Long Beach and Signal Hill.
Applicants applying to be the representative of a bona fide taxpayers’ association must be a member of any current and active organization that advocates for taxpayers. This includes any community or neighborhood association, business improvement district, city commission, or any other City-sponsored group that is active within the District boundaries.
The LBCCD Board of Trustees will be asked to approve the new members at its Oct. 9 meeting. The term of service for the new appointees is Oct. 10, 2024 through June 30, 2026. The COC has two mandatory meetings annually and may schedule others as needed. The next COC meeting date after the appointment is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 27, 2025.
