The Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD) Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC), which oversees District bond projects, is seeking a new member to represent the Community-at-Large. Applications are being accepted through October 29.

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and reside within the LBCCD boundary, which includes the cities of Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood and Avalon.

The LBCCD Board of Trustees will be asked to approve the new member at its November meeting. The term of service for the new appointee is November 13, 2018, through June 30, 2020. The COC has two mandatory meetings each year and may schedule others as needed. The next COC meeting date is February 11, 2019.

The COC oversees both Measure E, a $440 million bond measure approved by the voters in 2008, and Measure LB, an $850 million bond measure approved by the voters in 2016. Funds are used exclusively for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of LBCCD facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for use by the District.
