It is my pleasure to share with you the Cabrillo College Citizens’ Measure D Bond Oversight Com-mittee’s tenth and final report to the community. This has been an exciting year for Cabrillo College, having completed and closed out all of the Facilities Master Plan projects.

I encourage you to visit the campus and see the accomplishments made possible by your investment in our community college.

In 1996, the college developed a comprehensive Facilities Master Plan which identified the educational programs that required expanded or upgraded facilities to support instruction. Measure C was approved by the voters in 1998 at $85 million and Measure D was passed in 2004 at $118.5 million. In addition, the college has been extremely successful in securing matching funds of $6.5 million from the Federal Economic Development Administration and $40 million from the state in order to maximize the benefit to our local community. The results:• The Solari Green Technology Center (GTC) opened in 2012. This Platinum Level LEED certified “green” building provides a unique learning environment focusing on career technical education at the former Watsonville Library site as part of Cabrillo’s Watsonville Center. • State-of-the-art teaching facilities in the completely renovated Building 300 have been open for Business, English and Language Arts classes since spring 2011. • The new Chemistry / Biology lab in Building 600 will allow the college to offer more high-demand science courses and came on line in spring semester 2014. The Dental Hygiene Program, previously in building 600, relocated to one of the two new Health & Wellness Buildings in 2010. • Two Health & Wellness Buildings to house the Allied Health programs (Dental Hygiene, Radiologic Technology, Nursing, Medical Assisting, and the Stroke and Acquired Disability Center). The Wellness Center opened in September 2010. This is a joint use building that serves both the instructional and revenue needs of the college. • Three Arts Education Classrooms for visual, applied, and performing arts have been holding classes since fall 2008, and the theater, theater arts

classes, recital hall and, music classrooms opened in fall 2009 for everyone to enjoy. • The new Barbara Samper Student Activities Center opened in 2007 and is a hub of activity with the considerably expanded campus bookstore, student assessment and orientation services, and expanded workspace for student government and clubs and related student programs and services.• Although the use of these buildings may change over time, Cabrillo College has been significantly improved by the addition of these buildings, which provide the College the flexibility to meet ever-changing educational needs. • Bond funds have dramatically improved campus accessibility. New kiosks with campus maps as well as wayfinding signs have been installed to show building locations and wheelchair accessible routes. In addition, new seating in the football stadium has been installed to provide better access for individuals using wheelchairs.• The “Tech Refresh” and “Smart Classrooms Upgrades” projects of various buildings college-wide have improved the learning environment for students through technology improvements as well as creating more accessible and user friendly facilities.

The final audit for 2014-15 was performed by Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP, and disclosed no instances of non-compliance with the terms of Proposition 39 nor Measure D. The 2014-15 audit report was completed in September 2015. Based on this report, the members of the Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) conclude that Measure D bond expenditures have been made in accordance with California Education Code 15278 and exclusively for projects identified in the Bond Measure. The $118.5 million General Obligation Bond approved by more than 62 percent of the voters in March 2004 has certainly upgraded and improved the campus facilities to better serve our students and community. The Citizens’ Oversight Committee is pleased to report that all Measure D funds have been successfully expended. This Citizen’s Oversight Committee has concluded its obligation to ensure compliance with the by-laws established by the Proposition 39 mandates.

purchased the library from the City of Watsonville in July 2008 and was awarded $3.4 million in grant funds from the Economic Development Agency to augment Measure D bond funds specifically to build to the model

Platinum Level LEED certified “green” building standard. The District also received a generous donation of $500,000 from the Richard and Mary Solari Charitable Trust and $100,000 from the Les and Jeane Ley Family Fund for construction, which allowed the District to add back some of the items that were deferred due to budgetary constraints.

Building 300 RenovationTwelve new smart classrooms and ten offices in Building 300 for Business, English, & Language Arts (BELA) and Human Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) classes opened in spring 2011. In addition to Measure D funds, state bond funds supported the renovation.

Building 800 RenovationThe state-of-the-art Jack and Peggy Baskin Technology Center for Engineering, Computing and

Physics offered classroom, laboratory, and office space for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs in the 2013 fall semester. Cabrillo College was awarded a five-year Federal Title III grant for the STEM fields in 2011 to increase the number of Latinos in the STEM fields. The Cabrillo College Foundation received $250,000 from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation to provide support for the construction costs to renovate the 800 building which reduced the need for bond funds. In addition to the classroom renovation, the heating and ventilation systems and restrooms were repaired utilizing Measure D bond funds. Funding from the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation was received to accomplish renovation work not covered by the Federal STEM grant.

Building 600 Biology/Chemistry Classroom Renovation ProjectBuilding 600 has been renovated for Biology and Chemistry classroom and laboratory space. The Dental Hygiene program previously occu-pied the west end of the building prior to relocating to the new Health and Wellness Building in 2010. This project was completed in time for spring 2014 classes.

Building 1550, 1600 HVAC The heating and ventilation systems in the 1550 and 1600 Buildings were in much need of repair and renovation due to the age and lack of functionality of the equipment throughout these buildings.

100 Bldg. HVAC Upgrade ProjectThe 100 building has been home to various administrative functions over time and has had considerable redistribution of activities. Very few areas of the building floor plan resemble the original construction layout except for the more than 50-year-old HVAC system. The project, addressing the much needed reconfiguration of the existing duct work and heating needs of the main floor, was bid in October 2013 and the work was substantially complete in June 2014. New carpet, paint, door hardware, and electrical upgrades were also accomplished. The total project budget is $1,274,685, with final completion pending DSA certification.

100 Bldg. IT Equipment Relocation ProjectThe 100 building also houses the main switch gear and information technology equipment for a majority of functions on the upper campus. Untenable conditions required corrective measures in order to ensure that expensive equipment was protected and functional. Repairs to floor drainage systems and deteriorated walls were part of the corrective work as well as upgrades to temperature controls and air conditioning systems. The total project budget for this work was $247,720 and was complete in the fall of 2013.

Tech Refresh Project & Smart ClassroomsIn addition to the implementation of numerous “Smart Classrooms” upgrades,

a comprehensive look at the aging computer labs throughout the college identified the need to replace the technology infrastructure as well as desktop computers, to improve student access. This included replacement of faculty and staff desktops, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for student computer labs, network and software upgrades. A total of $232,083 in bond funds were combined with $478,480 in District funds for a total project budget of $710,563.

Green Technology Center(Watsonville Library Acquisition)The new 14,000 square foot Green Technology Center (GTC) opened in 2012. This Platinum Level LEED certified “green” building at the former Watsonville Library site provides a unique learning environment focusing on career technical education in construction, energy management, solar, and green building programs. The District

Smart ClassroomsIn an effort to provide state-of-the-art educational facilities, classrooms throughout the District were identified in need of technology, furni-ture, carpet, and paint upgrades. Smart classrooms are utilized in each of the Instructional Divisions. Measure D funds used for classroom upgrades in classrooms this year are: 429, 506, 509, 510, 513, 517, 714, 913, 1302, 1303, 2501, and 2502.

Health and Wellness Classrooms and Parking

The 55,000-square-foot Health and Wellness classroom facility opened in fall 2010. This new facility brought together health-related dis-ciplines that include Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Medical Assistant, Radiologic Technology, the Stroke and Acquired Disabilities Learning Center, Health Science, and a new Wellness Center.

The adjacent Health and Wellness Facility parking structure opened in fall 2008. The parking structure provides 510 parking spaces in the northeast corner of the campus for those students attending classes on the upper campus.

Arts Education ClassroomsThe Arts Education Class-rooms project consists of five buildings totaling 122,300

square feet, includes a 581-seat theater, a 369-seat music classroom and recital hall, a building dedicated to two-dimensional art, one building for three-dimensional art, and one building for general instruction and offices. The space also allows for community participa-tion, partnership and events. Fifteen music practice rooms are available for students, four music rehearsal spaces, an acting studio, five drawing and design studios, and an experimental theater classroom. Three of the buildings opened for classes in fall 2008; the Crocker Theater and the Music Recital Hall were opened in August 2009. Some aspects of the construction contracts between the trade contractors and the District were disputed by the parties which resulted in mediation. The media-tion process resulted in a settlement of outstanding issues. The settle-ment in the amount of $1.6 million was reached in March 2011 and finalized in August 2011.

Student Activities CenterThe Barbara Samper Student Activities Center, a 50,000-square foot, two-level building located in the very center of the Aptos campus on Soquel Drive, opened in fall 2007. The new center provides a gate-

6

way to the Aptos campus and houses the campus bookstore, student assessment and orienta-tion services, student govern-ment, student activities and club space, and related student services programs and offices. The project includes three new

elevators which significantly improve accessibility on campus to and from Soquel Drive. Covered parking on the ground level provides ac-cess to the bookstore and to enrollment services. The college received certificate of completion from the Division of the State Architect (DSA) in March 2011.

Aptos Campus SignageA signage plan for the Aptos campus, prepared by Kate Keating Associates of San Francisco, has been completed. Handicap acces-sible routes are now clearly identified, and updated map kiosks and wayfinding signs have been installed on campus to assist new students, staff, and visitors. Replacement building identification signs have also been installed and will continue to be updated as construction projects in progress become finalized.

Examination of ExpendituresCabrillo College staff provides the Citizens’ Oversight Committee with the monthly Facilities Master Plan Status Reports which are submitted to the Cabrillo College Governing Board for review. A com-prehensive semi-annual update is provided to the Citizens’ Oversight Committee and formally approved by the Governing Board.

Overcoming ChallengesThe Citizens’ Oversight Committee continues to observe the Califor-nia Division of the State Architect (DSA) required approval process delay design and construction schedules resulting in potential addi-tional project costs. The Citizens’ Oversight Committee strongly sup-ports any changes which would streamline the construction approval process and reduce overall project costs. The COC also encourages District personnel to continue to evaluate college projects using the industry best practices in construction and design-bid cost alignment to ensure maximum utilization of Measure D bond funds.

ConclusionsThe Citizens’ Oversight Committee finds that Cabrillo College has complied with requirements of state law in accounting for and expending public bond funds.

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee is pleased to report that all Mea-sure D funds have been successfully expended. This Citizen’s Oversight Committee has concluded its obligation to ensure compliance with the by-laws established by the Proposition 39 mandates.
