NORWALK, Calif. – November 15, 2023 – The Cerritos Community College District is accepting applications to fill vacancies on the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.  This committee was established 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 both Measure G and Measure CC and that no bond proceeds are used for teacher or administrative salaries or other operating expenses.

Three specific vacancies are available on the committee: bona-fide taxpayers association, community member, and senior citizens’ organization. Individuals must be 18 years or older to be eligible for an appointment. Additionally, applicants should not be employees of the college, officials of the district, or affiliated with any vendor, contractor, or consultant with the district.

Once appointed, committee members will serve for two consecutive three-year terms. The legal process calls for soliciting applications for the vacancies, 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 on who is selected to serve on the committee. 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 by Monday, December 18, 2023, via email to the president’s office.

For more information, contact the office of the president at (562) 860-2451 ext. 2204.
