Citizens oversight committee reports $260M spent on Measure S; roughly $44M remains
Summary
The Measure S Citizens Oversight Committee reported $260 million spent of the $288 million bond, roughly $44 million remaining; the committee reviewed invoices, audits, and site visits and encouraged public applications for oversight openings.
The Measure S Citizens Oversight Committee told the Orange Unified board that, through June 2024, the district has spent about $260 million of the $288 million bond and has approximately $44 million remaining. Committee chair Deanna Fasinelli presented the annual compliance report and described the panel's review of invoices, audits, and site visits.
Fasinelli said the committee verifies that bond expenditures comply with the ballot language (for example, science centers are an approved use while pools and solar panels are not), reviews audit reports and invoices, and conducts visits to project sites to confirm work. The committee noted auditors reported no management findings and recommended community members consider applying for two open committee seats.
Board members thanked the committee for its oversight work and for providing public confidence that bond funds are spent in accordance with voter intent. The committee indicated the next meeting will be in October and encouraged interested residents to apply through the district website.
