Measure H Projects
Message from the Chair
Measure H Future
There were no Measure H projects completed within 2014, but prior to that all the projects on the list shown on page two of this report were completed except the Science Building, and progress on that is moving forward at a good clip. It is scheduled for completion in 2016.
All completed projects are now in full use, and the campus and its community of students, faculty, and staff are enjoying the intended benefits from them.
Among the most recently completed, are the PE Fieldhouse (building P on the campus map), the new
Technical Training Building on the Alisal Campus (building AC-D), and the renovation of the ground floor of the north wing of the Classroom Administration Building (building D). Also, new signage has been installed throughout both campuses.
HARTNELL AND LEED
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized green building certification system. It provides guidelines to identify and implement green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions. A
LEED certified building is designed to lower operating costs, reduce landfill waste, conserve energy and water, be healthier for occupants, and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Building AC-D will be the first
LEED certified building for
Hartnell College.
 In keeping with sustainable/green design, the
Alisal campus has installed solar-covered parking canopies expected to save $6 million over
25 years or $240,000 per year that will go into
 educational programs.

This Annual Report is submitted to the public and to the Board of
Trustees by the Hartnell College
Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee in partial fulfillment of the
Committee’s responsibilities as set forth within Article XIII.A, Section 1 of the State of California Constitution and Sections 15278 through 15282 of the State of California Education
Code.
The Measure H Citizens’ Bond
Oversight Committee finds that
Hartnell Community College District has complied with the spirit and requirements of state law, and the commitment made to the voters in accounting for and expending public bond funds.

Dear Community Members,
The Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee is a legal entity charged with the responsibility of ensuring that Measure H funds are being used according to the law. The committee is presenting the annual report for 2013-2014 to the Hartnell Governing Board and the public.
The public has shown confidence in Hartnell College by approving bond funds for additional campus development and modernization. It is important that their generosity be rewarded with the improvements to Hartnell College that they desire and deserve. The investment not only will benefit the students, but also the community through civic pride and the ability to attract quality personnel and students. The ultimate result will be a better trained labor force and educated citizenry.
We have provided oversight of this bond-financed effort. Measure H funding has already constructed a new Technical Center at the Alisal campus, upgraded our athletic facilities, renovated the CAB building, and provided various other campus improvements. The last sizeable project is presently under construction. It is a state-of-the-art Science Building to replace building N. There is ample bond money remaining to see it to completion with enough surplus to remodel building N (the old science building).
I would like to commend the College President, Dr. Willard Lewallen, district staff, and involved citizens, including the Governing Board and my fellow members on the Bond Oversight Committee for their dedication and effort in seeing that this community investment results in an educational facility that we can all be proud of.
Respectfully,
Vearl Gish, Chair

BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
There is only one major Measure H project still to be completed: Construction has started on a new Science Center located near the center of the main campus. The budgeted cost is
$29,135,000. The building will provide 54,000 square feet to contain six lecture spaces, 10 laboratories, and the planetarium. Among the subjects to be taught here will be biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, geology, microbiology, field science, anatomy, engineering, and astronomy. The building, like all the other Measure H projects will be instrumental in providing the necessary facilities and environment for teaching and learning excellence. Student success is the ultimate outcome.
After Measure H funds are set aside for the completion of the Science Center, there is approximately $1,300,000 in surplus. The present plan is to use these funds to renovate building N (the old science building) so it can accommodate the Nursing Program. Nursing is presently in cramped quarters and badly needs more specialized training facilities and dedicated storage spaces. Therefore, the final project with the available bond money will be the renovation of an existing building to finally meet the needs of the Nursing Program which fills a critical need in the community.
As of April 15, 2013, a total of $114,943,822 had been spent of the Measure H funds and there is a total of $22,906,887 remaining. Note that the two amounts add up to more than the approved $131,000,000. The total includes interest earned and the refunding (*) of the bonds
($7,007,592). In addition, it should be noted that $47,460,000 in State Capital Bond Funds were provided as matching funds on three of the projects and $603,000 in private funding has been raised to date for the PE Field House.

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AND
PERFORMANCE AUDITS AS OF JUNE 30, 2014
(*) Refunding occurs when an entity that has issued callable bonds calls those debt securities from the debt holders with the express purpose of reissuing new debt at a lower coupon rate.
In essence, the issue of new, lower-interest debt allows the District to prematurely refund the older, higher-interest debt.
Note: Any remaining funds from a project go back into Measure H for future projects.
The accounting firm Crowe Horwath, LLP, presented the Annual Independent Financial and Performance Audits to the Board of
Trustees on December 9, 2014. In addition to issuing an unqualified opinion, the audit found the financial statements to fairly present the financial position and changes in Measure H fund balance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. These audits are available at www.hartnell.edu/h
