CBOC REPORT
Role of CBOC in Determining Use of Remaining Funds
• When it has been established that there are surplus funds from the 2004 and 2008 bond programs: Toward the end of the bond programs, when there
is clear evidence that all projects can be completed within the project budgets, staff will present a list of recommended projects that would address known facility deficiencies that have been identified through the District’s facility condition assessment, its Facility Master Plan efforts, or during the CBOC oversight process of the bond programs.
CBOC REPORT
Role of CBOC in Determining Use of Remaining Funds
These recommended projects must fall within the intention of the original bond referendum.
Once the CBOC approves the list of recommended projects, it is forwarded to the Board of Trustees for its receipt of public input and subsequent approval in its final form.
