CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

Committee Briefs

August 7, 2008

At its meeting on August 7, the College welcomed committee member Mariana Lake to her first meeting of Citizens Oversight Committee.

Committee members received and approved a second draft of the narrative portion of the Measure R Annual Report to the Community.

In response to the committee’s request to staff for a summary report of budget, cost to date and completion estimates of Measure R projects, the committee was presented with a detailed and comprehensive report, in project order.  Also included was information related to facilities planning and the College’s Master Plan, capacity-to-load ratios, and budget/specification sheets for proposed projects.

President Nixon reported that enrollment is up 4% from this time last year, and stated that Mt. SAC sustained minimal damage to facilities from the July 27 earthquake.  Damages, however, will more than likely total close to $400,000. 

Committee Briefs are provided as part of the ongoing communication program to keep the public informed of the use of Proposition 39 Bond funds and the independent review process of the Citizens Oversight Committee.  Questions should be directed to Dr. John Nixon, President/CEO, Mt. San Antonio College (909) 594-5611 x4250, or Sylvia Mendoza (909) 262-4489.
