To improve education, prepare students for well-paying jobs and university transfer and qualify for State matching funds, shall Victor Valley Community College District improve classrooms, labs and educational buildings and establish a Workforce Training Center and Public Safety Academy for nursing, healthcare, emergency medical, police, firefighting and business careers, upgrade aging infrastructure, acquire sites, equipment, construct/repair buildings/science labs, by issuing $297,500,000 million in bonds, at legal rates with independent citizens’ oversight/no money for administrators’ salaries?

Impartial Analysis from Raymond G. Fortner, Jr.
County Counsel
A yes vote by fifty-five percent (55%) of the voters within the Victor Valley Community College District voting on this measure will authorize the Board of Trustees of the District to issue and sell bonds in the principal amount of $297,500,000 at an interest rate below legal limits. The District may only use the bond funds for the specific college facilities projects listed in the District Bond Projects List, which has been approved by action of the Board of Trustees and is Exhibit B to its Resolution ordering this election.

If this measure passes, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will be required to annually levy a tax upon the property in the District sufficient to pay the principal and interest on any outstanding bonds of the District as the principal and interest becomes due. This tax will be in addition to the one percent (1%) property tax provided for under current law.

If less than fifty-five percent (55%) of the voters voting on this measure vote yes, the Board of Trustees of the District will not be authorized to issue and sell the $297,500,000 of bonds set forth in the measure.

This measure will not have any effect on existing law.
