It’s a sad truth that government projects just don’t seem to have much accountability. There are always lots of impressive titles handed out, but nobody ever seems to have a grip on what’s going on.

The role of a Bond Oversight Committee does not include any authority over what projects are funded by the bonds or how a project will be accomplished. That decision belongs to the governing body of the public agency. The Oversight Committee’s role is very limited – it is to make sure the money being spent on those projects is fully accounted for and being spent only on what that governing body has approved. People who get on a Bond Oversight Committee with plans to help decide what the money will be spent on are very disappointed when they find out they have no such role – not even to review architectural design, much less influence or approve what projects will be funded and what ones won’t. Design and construction contracts, construction change orders, etc. are not within the purview of a Bond Oversight Committee – the governing body of the public agency controls it all.
Casual observer, “The Oversight Committee’s role is very limited – it is to make sure the money being spent on those projects is fully accounted for and being spent only on what that governing body has approved…..” Are you saying the Committee members have no obligation to inform their constituents of what those “projects” are?
I think you missed the point of the post. Teresa Harvey, Director of the Fullerton Chamber and Bond Oversight Committee member apparently dropped the ball about informing anyone in the business community with regards to the projects the NOCCCD Board approved.
