The District took several steps to inform the community that applications for open seats were available, and that the
President would recommend the appointment of new representatives at the September Board meeting. The District
issued a press release in June 2012 and posted an announcement on the Cabrillo College website with a link to the
application. Press coverage ran in the Santa Cruz Sentinel on August 4, 2012. According to the Committee Bylaws,
representatives may serve up to two consecutive terms. The term for four representatives to the Citizens’ Oversight
Committee expired at the end of August. In addition the Cabrillo Study Organization/Club member graduated from
Cabrillo. After careful review of the prospective candidates’ qualifications, we recommend the following candidates
for appointment to the Measure D Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee:
Category
Business Representative
