The Board shall appoint an Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee in compliance with Education Code section 15278 no later than 60 days after the Board enters the election results in its minutes pursuant to Education Code section 15274. The District shall create an account into which bond proceeds shall be deposited and comply with the reporting requirements of Government Code section 53410. According to the District's Tax Rate Statement, the best estimate of the highest tax rate required to fund the bonds, based on the assessed valuations available at the time of the District filing its Tax Rate Statement on the measure, is $60.00 per $100,000 of the assessed value of taxable real property within the District. This Measure requires a fifty-five percent (55%) vote for passage.[2] |
