The Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD) Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC), which oversees district bond projects, is seeking a new member to represent the community-at-large. Applications are being accepted through Friday, May 18.
“We are committed to ensuring that our community maintains the highest level of trust in the use of voter-approved bond funds,” said LBCC Superintendent-President Reagan F. Romali. “We encourage our community members to apply and play an important role in the oversight of our bond projects.”
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and reside within the LBCCD boundary, which includes the cities of Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood and Avalon.
The LBCCD Board of Trustees will be asked to approve the new member at its June meeting. The term of service for the new appointee is July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020. The COC has two mandatory meetings each year and may schedule others as needed. Upcoming meeting dates are Aug. 27, 2018 and Jan. 28, 2019.
The COC oversees both 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.
Complete information about the bond measures, the COC and the application form can be found at lbcc.edu/citizens-oversight-committee. Community members can call (562) 938-4540 with questions.
