Measure Y
On November 3, 2020 voters in the Citrus Community College District approved Measure Y, a $298 million general obligation bond measure aimed at retaining well-qualified instructors and improving the quality of education at Citrus College by:
- upgrading job training, science, technology classrooms and laboratories;
- meeting earthquake, fire, clean drinking water safety;
- providing resources for students/veterans preparing for university transfer/jobs;
- and, removing leaky roofs, mold and lead paint.
The facilities improvements to be funded by Measure Y were identified following an 18-month process where college stakeholders and facilities and administrative services staff, along with a team of external consultants, assessed the facilities needs of the college, resulting in a culmination of recommendations identified in the comprehensive 2020-2030 Educational and Facilities Master Plan.
Measure G
In March 2004, voters in the Citrus Community College District approved Measure G, a $121 million general obligation bond measure, to prepare local students for four-year colleges and to train local residents for high-skilled jobs by:
- upgrading campus safety and security;
- expanding academic facilities, vocational technology, emergency medical training, nursing/dental classrooms and computer labs;
- repairing and rehabilitating aging facilities and infrastructure;
- and, constructing and equipping classroom buildings, science labs and student support facilities.
Facilities improvements to be funded by Measure G were identified following the 2011-2020 Educational and Facilities Master Plan. As of June 30, 2022, all Measure G funds were fully expended, resulting in the successful completion of 16 major projects and numerous campuswide infrastructure and technological improvements.
Both the Measure G and Measure Y elections were conducted under Proposition 39, being chaptered as the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000, at Section 15264 et seq. of the Education Code of the State ("Prop. 39"). Pursuant with the passage of Measure G, the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees established a Citizens' Oversight Committee ("Committee"), in accordance with Section 15278 of the Education Code. Subsequently, upon the passage of Measure Y, the board of trustees reestablished the Committee to provide the oversight required under both bond Measures G and Y, and to set forth under the revised bylaws the duties and rights of the Committee in meeting its obligations under Prop. 39. The Committee has no legal capacity independent from the district.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires governmental agencies to identify and assess the environmental impacts of planned projects.
