NORWALK, Calif. – October 25, 2022 – The Cerritos Community College District is accepting applications to fill vacancies for the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee. The Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee was established in 2004 to oversee the expenditure of money for the construction, repair, and modernization of campus projects. This committee ensures that the bond proceeds are expended only for the purposes set forth in Measure G and that no bond proceeds are used for teacher or administrative salaries or any other operating expenses.

There are two vacancies as follows: (1) Bona-Fide Taxpayers Association and (2) Community Member. All appointees must be 18 years of age or older. No members may be employees of the college, officials of the District, or any vendor, contractor, or consultant of the District.

The members will serve two-year terms. The legal process calls for the solicitation of applications after which the College President will review the applications and make recommendations to the Cerritos Community College District Board of Trustees. The Board will make the final decision.  Bond committee members are not compensated for their service.

Applications are available online at:  https://www.cerritos.edu/bond/bond-oversight-committee/default.htm and must be completed and delivered by Friday, November 18, 2022, via email to the President’s Office at president@cerritos.edu
