Kelseyville Unified forms Measure U bond oversight committee
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Unified School District is forming a bond oversight committee for Measure U and is inviting community members to apply.
District voters approved Measure U, a $24 million general obligation bond to improve and upgrade school facilities, on June 7. The vote was 61.7 percent to 38.3 percent in favor of the bond.
Some of the projects that have been identified so far for bond funding include repair and replacement of leaking roofs, deteriorating plumbing systems, and outdated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems; updating inadequate electrical systems; and improving student access to computers and modern technology.
The district's Citizen's Bond Oversight Committee will review expenditures from construction activity associated with Measure U, and be responsible for ensuring that bond revenues are used properly and for informing the public of bond expenditures.
The district board invites all interested community members at least 18 years of age and living within the geographic boundary of the Kelseyville Unified School District to apply for service on the Bond Oversight Committee.
The bond oversight committee must have at least seven members. In addition to two members of the community at large, there must be at least one member from each of the following groups:
• One member who is active in a business organization representing the business community located within the school district.
• One member who is active in a senior citizen's organization.
• One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district.
• One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district and is active in a parent-teacher organization.
• One member who is active in a bona-fide taxpayer's organization.
The Bond Oversight Committee may not include any employee or official of the school district or any vendor, contractor or consultant of the school district.
