Commentary on Measure Q

Are you sure you want vote to support this extravagant measure? It has no accountability.

This campaign was designed by Dale Scott & Co. We figured out just the right words to get you to you to open up your checkbook.

We'd also like to introduce you to our partners -- bond lawyers, brokers, wealthy investors, architects, management firms, construction companies, and trade unions. We all stand to make a ton of money on these bonds. Our profits come right off the top, before a penny is actually spent on improving the facilities.

We're not just doing it for the money. We like to show off our work in Architectural Digest and other places where the rich and famous congregate.

Remember, we've taken a lot of risk. We gave money to get your governing board members elected, so they'd be sure to remember us when we came around for a hand-out later.

It's just business-as-usual, here in sunny Corruptifornia.

Please don't read the fine print. That's just put in by the lawyers to make what we're going to do to for you legal.

MEASURE Q

To continue repairing, renovating, constructing and equipping classrooms/facilities at the campuses of Yuba and Woodland Colleges including nursing, healthcare, science, technology, engineering, fire and police training classrooms, shall $33,565,000 of Yuba Community College District Bonds, previously approved by voters in November 2006, be reauthorizedSCAM ALERT!There is no such thing as reauthorized bonds. Reauthorization is a marketing term used to fool voters into approving a new bond measure. The district's wildly optimistic predictions from the previous bond didn't happen. It can't issue those bonds without exceeding the tax rate limit. This is a new bond that will create a new tax rate limit. It essentially doubles the tax rate promised for the previous bond. You're being purposely deceived. through issuance of new bonds with no increase in total authorized District debt, interest rates below the legal limit, independent citizen oversightCriticalIndependent? Really? The staff selects the committee. The Board rubber-stamps it. The Board can remove anyone who questions anything that the money is used for. You can be certain that there won't be anyone on the committee who isn't a cheerleader for spending your money on architectural marvels, like the Taj Mahal., and all funds used locally and not taken by the State?

IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY THE SUTTER COUNTY
COUNSEL RELATING TO MEASURE Q
WHICH SEEKS APPROVAL TO ISSUE
AND SELL BONDS BY THE
YUBA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT

This measure was placed on the ballot by the Board of Trustees (Board) of the Yuba Community College District (District). A "yes" vote is a vote to authorize bonds. A "no" vote is a vote against issuing the proposed bonds.

On November 7, 2006, more than 55% of the voters approved the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $190,000,000 (Measure J) for a variety of district projects. Since that time, bonds have been issued in the amount of $156,432,119 leaving $33,567,880 unissued. The Board has determined that they will be unable to issue the remainder of the approved bonds without issuing said bonds as long-term capital appreciation bonds, which would result in excessive borrowing costs imposed on the taxpayers in the District. The District has determined that there continues to be an urgent need to complete the projects approved by District voters under Measure J and that no other district resources are available to finance such projects.

If affirmed by 55% of the electorate in the District, Measure Q will authorize the issuance of new general obligation bonds in the maximum principal amount of $33,565,000. Bond proceeds will be used to fund projects included on the Bond Project List as set forth in the measure. Bond proceeds will be used to modernize, replace, renovate, construct, acquire, equip, furnish, rebuild and otherwise improve educational and support facilities within the District. Bond proceeds shall be used only for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishings and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities. The Board has certified that it has evaluated safety, class size reduction, and information technology needs of the District in developing the Bond Project List.

Approval of the bond measure does not guarantee that any particular project will be funded beyond the local revenues generated by the bond measure. The District's proposal for the projects may assume the receipt of matching state funds, which could be subject to appropriation by the Legislature or approval of a statewide bond measure. Bond proceeds may also be used for other incidental costs associated with the listed projects, including election and bond issuance costs. Proceeds of the bonds cannot be used for administrators' or teachers' salaries or any other school operating expenses.

The Board will conduct independent annual performance and financial audits, and appoint an independent citizens' oversight committee to ensure bond proceeds are expended as promised and specified.

If Measure Q is affirmed, the District has covenanted that it will cancel and shall not authorize the issuance of Measure J Bonds in a like amount.

Measure Q will not otherwise affect existing law. This analysis is submitted by the Sutter County Counsel as required under Elections Code section 9500.

Impartial Analysis

Approval of Measure Q would allow the Yuba Community College District (the "District") to issue and sell bonds in order to com-plete educational facility repair and construction projects previously approved by the voters.

On November 7, 2006, the voters approved the issuance of general obligation bonds of the District in the aggregate principal amount of $190,000,000.

The District has issued four series of bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $156,432, 119.85, leaving $33,567,880.15 of the bonds that remain unissued.

State law requires the District to project that at the time of issuance of any series of bonds that the tax rate levied to pay debt service on such bonds, together with debt service due on other previously issued bonds, will not exceed $25 per year per $100,000 of taxable property in the District. The District cannot issue any additional series of the unissued bonds in the near future without imposing excessive borrowing costs on property tax payers.

Approval of Measure Q would authorize the District to issue and sell new general obligation bonds in the amount of $33,565,000.00, nearly the amount of the unissued bonds, for the purpose of raising money to complete the educational Chapter XX
503*58503*Local ballot measures: Measure Q projects for which the bonds had been authorized.

Such educational projects include the acquisition and improvement of real property and the furnishing, building and equipping of school facilities of the District.

Approval of Measure Q would allow the District to complete the educational projects for which the unissued bonds have been authorized and avoid excessive borrowing costs which would result from the issuance of long-term capital appreciation bonds.

If Measure Q is approved the District is required to conduct annual, independent audits, establish and appoint members to an independent citizens' oversight committee, apply the proceeds of the sold bonds only to the specific purposes authorized by the voters; create accounts into which bond proceeds shall be deposited; and prepare an annual report.

Measure Q was placed on the ballot by an adopted resolution by the Governing Board of the Yuba Community College District. All residents of the counties within the District, including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Placer, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba, are voting on Measure Q. The measure may be passed by 55% of the voters voting in its favor.

Argument in Favor of Measure Q

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE Q

Vote Yes on Measure Q!

In 2006, voters overwhelmingly passed a general obligation bond to improve what are among our communities' most important assets - our local community colleges. Since then, tremendous improvements have been made in repairing, rehabilitating and upgrading Yuba Community College District campuses serving Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Placer, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties.

But much remains to be done.

Measure Q will let us continue the job of improving our community colleges by reauthorizing $33.6 million of previously approved bonds, while saving taxpayers millions of dollars and without increasing the District's total authorized debt.

Measure Q will improve our community college campuses by:

• - Repairing leaky roofs and deteriorating plumbing
• - Upgrading science, math, engineering, technology and vocational education classrooms
• - Improving and expanding facilities for nursing and health care training
• - Expanding classrooms for good paying careers in construction, agriculture, police science and firefighting that will contribute to our local economy

Measure Q will protect taxpayers by:

• - Making our local college projects eligible for State matching funds
• - Requiring annual audits and independent citizen oversight of the funds
• - Allowing the district to complete projects sooner and at today's low interest rates
• - Prohibiting funds from going to administrators' salaries, pensions or benefitsTHREE PINOCCHIOS!Check out the fine print buried in the measure. When you're not looking, the district will pay itself with money borrowed at interest. Dishonest and disgusting.
• - Imposing tough legal safeguards requiring all monies to be spent on our local colleges
• - Prohibiting the State from taking the funds and spending them elsewhere

Today's community colleges are more important than ever in providing citizens a path to compete in today's new economy.

Vote Yes to stimulate our local economies.
Vote Yes to improve programs to keep pace with today's rapidly changing workplace.
Vote Yes for increased property values and home prices.
Vote Yes to help produce a prepared and well-educated workforce of tomorrow.

Please Vote Yes on Measure Q to continue repairing and upgrading our local community college campuses.

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE Q

Make no mistake -- Measure Q is a NEW bond.

The nation-wide economic downturn started in 2007 continues to this day. Now is not the time to put more tax burden on you. A new Series D assessment under Measure J for $26,500,000 issued last spring will show up on your 2016 tax bill for the first time this fall. Now the District wants to add $33,565,000 more with Measure Q which will cost a total of $42,823,000 when interest and administrative costs are added.

Proposition 39 passed in 2000 requires a "list of the specific school facilities projects to be funded" when asking voters to pass school bonds. The laundry list of projects proposed for Measure Q is lengthy and extremely general under the heading "renovation, modernization, repair and construction of school facilities." The list does not include specifics as to buildings or campus locations as required. Routine maintenance items such as replacing roofs, flooring, ceilings, electrical, plumbing, and paving should be handled through annual maintenance.

The District has not been good stewards of our tax dollars. Remember the capital appreciation bonds issued under Measure J wherein a $4.6 million bond would cost $54 million in interest?

Finally, how will having you pay larger Yuba College assessments increase property values and home prices as claimed in this argument? Not even realtors claim buyers pay more for homes in college districts. Like the rest of it, the District is just making it up."

Argument Against Measure Q

32 \3\1!06/47!

ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE Q

Don't be deceived. Plain and simple -- there is no provision in state law for "reauthorizing" bonds. This is a NEW bond.

State law, Proposition 39, passed by the voters in 2000, prohibits community colleges from issuing bonds where the cost would exceed a property owner's payment of more than $25 per $100,000 of assessed value.

Measure J for $190 million was passed by the voters in 2006. So far, there have been four bond issuances for a total of $157,432,120.

Series A - $29,504,047 – Issued May 22, 2007
Series B - $65,492,278 – Issued May 22, 2007
Series C - $34,935,795 – Issued July 12, 2011
Series D - $27,500,000 – Approved for issuance March 10, 2016 but not on tax bills yet.

Because property values and new construction have not happened as anticipated, the District cannot issue more bonds under Measure J because your cost would exceed the $25 per $100,000 in assessed valuation.

In order to get around Proposition 39 restrictions, The District is asking voters to approve a NEW bond measure. Approval of this new bond measure would create a separate $25 per $100,000 tax rate limitation, thus doubling the tax rate authority which, in turn, will increase the amount of taxes you pay.

In reviewing the list of projects to be funded by Measure Q, they appear to be primarily maintenance and routine improvements. There are no new facilities or major programs.

The District promises not to issue more bonds under Measure J, but the new tax created by Measure Q will certainly increase the amount of taxes we pay.

As stated in the Board's June 9, 2016 meeting minutes, the alternative is for the District to wait until assessed values increase to issue the remaining authority under Measure J.

Vote No on Measure Q! http://bit.ly/NoYubaBond

Rebuttal to Argument Against Measure Q

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE Q

It's not that complicated.

Measure Q will not increase total District debt by one penny.BALD-FACED LIE!Pretty outrageous, isn't it? New bonded indebtedness won't increase debt? Is this the kind of education our young people are getting at this college? The district is trying to equate debt-capacity with actual debt. They are not the same. The district knows it. It just wants to deceive you, plain and simple.

Ten years ago, voters passed Measure J, which helped repair and rehabilitate classrooms and colleges throughout Yuba Community College District. However, drastic shifts in property values during the Great Recession delayed issuance of the last portion of Measure J bonds due to State-mandated restrictions. If passed by voters, the District legally will be required to replace the unused Measure J bonds with bonds approved under Measure Q. No additional debt can be created and no more Measure J bonds will be sold.

Measure Q will save millions.

Measure Q will save taxpayers millions of dollars by-slashing borrowing costs through the use of short-term loans at low interest ratesTHREE PINOCCHIOS!There is not one word in the measure that makes this promise enforceable. Would you sign a written contract where the verbal promises were left out?. Responsibly, Measure Q will not burden future generations.

Measure Q is a prudent investment in our community.

Measure Q will allow us to continue the job of improving our community colleges with projects that go far beyond "routine maintenance" including upgrading science, math, engineering, technology and vocational education classrooms and expanding nursing and health care training facilities. Measure Q also will create new construction jobs that will boost our local economy.

The decision is yours.

By smartly reauthorizing $33.565 million of bonds that WERE ALREADY APPROVED by voters in 2006, but which were never issued, we can continue the job of improving our local community colleges and ensure that we get the best, most fiscally responsible deal possible. The decision is clear. Vote YES on Measure Q!

FULL TEXT

---

To continue repairing, renovating, constructing and equipping classrooms/facilities at the campuses of Yuba and Woodland Colleges including nursing, healthcare, science, technology, engineering, fire and police training classrooms, shall $33,565,000 of Yuba Community College District Bonds, previously approved by voters in November 2006, be reauthorized through issuance of new bonds with no increase in total authorized District debt, interest rates below the legal limit, independent citizen oversight, and all funds used locally and not taken by the State?

Bonds—Yes Bonds—No

BOND AUTHORIZATION

By approval of this measure by at least 55 percent of the registered voters voting on the measure, the District will be authorized to issue and sell bonds of up to $33,565,000 in aggregated principal at interest rates not in excess of the legal limit and to provide financing for the specific school facilities projects listed in the Bond Project List described below, subject to all the accountability requirements specified below.

The Bonds may be issued under the provisions of the California Education Code (starting at Section 15100), under the provisions of the California Government Code (starting at Section 53506), or under any other provision of law authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds by school districts. The Bonds may be issued in series by the District from time to time, and each series of Bonds shall mature within the legal limitations set forth in the applicable law under which the Bonds are issued.

District voters previously approved Measure J at an election held in the District on November 7, 2006. However, due to State law limitations imposed on the issuance of bonds under Measure J, the District estimates that it will be unable to issue any additional Measure J Bonds in the immediate future. The Board of Trustees of the District has found and determined that there continues to be an urgent need in the District for the completion of the educational projects approved by District voters under Measure J, and that no other District resources are available to finance such projects. If the Bonds are approved and issued, the Board of Trustees of the District has covenanted that it will cancel and shall not authorize the issuance of Measure J Bonds in a like amount.

BOND PROJECT LIST

Scope of Projects. Bond proceeds will be expended to modernize, replace, renovate, construct, acquire, equip, furnish, rebuild and otherwise improve educational and support facilities within the District. Projects which are described below include all related and incidental costs, including their share of the costs of the electionCriticalThis illustrates how the district will claw back every nickel and dime it can. The agenda says the election costs will come from the general fund. It's an overhead cost explicitly prohibited by the Constitution Article XIII-A Section 1(b)(3)(A) (Proposition 39). "not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses." and bond issuance and costs of design, engineering, architect and other professional services, inspections, site preparation, utilities, and other planning, legal, accounting and similar costs, independent annual financial and performance audits, a customary contingency, and other costsCriticalWhat might those other costs be? This is a modified version of Jones Hall's standard language "Proceeds of the bonds may be used to pay or reimburse the District for the cost of District staff" found in nearly every bond measure it writes. What was that they said about no administrative salaries? incidental to and necessaryCriticalWho do you think gets to decide? for completion of the listed projects.

Bond proceeds may also be expended to acquire equipment in any classroom or other educational facility within the District. The District may alter the scope and nature of any of the specific projects that are described below as required by conditions that arise over time.

RENOVATION, MODERNIZTION, REPAIR AND CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL FACILITIES

Bond proceeds will be expended to modernize, replace, renovate, construct, acquire, equip, rebuild and furnish the District's classrooms, restrooms, and other educational and joint-use facilities including those located at:

YUBA COLLEGE, MARYSVILLE CAMPUS
YUBA COLLEGE, LAKE COUNTY CAMPUS
SUTTER COUNTY CENTER
WOODLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
COLUSA COUNTY CENTER

Whenever specific items are not included in the following list, they are presented to provide an example and are not intended to limit the generality of the broader description of authorized projects.CriticalThis really takes the cake. How is any of this "a list of the specific school facilities projects to be funded" as required by the California Constitution? It's not. It authorizes the district to spend the money on whatever it wants, whenever it wants, wherever it wants. The order in which particular projects are listed is not intended to indicate priority for funding or completion.

• • Renovate, construct, expand and equip classrooms and labs devoted to general education, childhood development education, math, sciences, technology, engineering, fire and police training programs and veterinarian technology programs.

• • Repair and/or replace classrooms, buildings and other educational facilities and areas including but not limited to:
• • Leaky roofsCriticalIs it a coincidence that every district in the state has "leaky roofs"? You might even ask if leaky roofs actually exist? If they do, why haven't they been repaired yet. According to the school bond cartel's professional marketing study, claiming "leaky roofs" translates directly into yes votes from voters who are made to feel guilty about it.
• • Decaying walls, old ceiling tiles and flooring
• • Plumbing, sewer and drainage systems
• • Electrical systems and wiring

WHEREAS, on November 7, 2000, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 39 ("Proposition 39"), which amended Article XIIIA of the California Constitution to allow for the levy of ad valorem property taxes for the payment of bonded indebtedness of a school district, community college district or county office of education approved by at least 55 percent of the voters voting on such proposition; and

WHEREAS, upon the passage of Proposition 39, the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bond Act of 2000, being California Education Code Section 15264 and following (the "Strict Accountability Act"), became operative; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Proposition 39 and the Strict Accountability Act, on November 7, 2006, a bond election was conducted within the boundaries of the Yuba Community College District (the "District") on the question of authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds of the District in the aggregate principal amount of $190,000,000 (the "Measure J Bonds"), and more than 55 percent of the voters voting on the proposition approved the passage of Measure J; and

WHEREAS, the District has previously issued or caused to be issued four series of the Measure J Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $156,432,119.85, leaving $33,567,880.15 of Measure J Bonds which have been authorized but unissued by the District (the "Unissued Measure J Bonds"); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the District has determined that the District will be unable to issue any additional series of the Unissued Measure J Bonds in the immediate future, due to an inability to make the tax rate projections required under the Strict Accountability Act, without issuing such bonds as long-term capital appreciation bonds which would result in excessive borrowing costs imposed on the property tax payers in the District; and

WHEREAS, the Board hereby finds and determines that there continues to be an urgent need in the District for the completion of the educational projects approved by District voters under Measure J and that no other District resources are available to finance such projects; and

WHEREAS, in order to complete the educational projects for which Measure J Bonds have been authorized, and to avoid excessive borrowing costs which would result from the issuance of long-term capital appreciation bonds, the Board has determined to call an election to submit to the electors of the District the question whether a new issue of general obligation bonds of the District (the "Reauthorized Bonds"), in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Unissued Measure J Bonds, shall be issued and sold for the purpose of raising money to complete the educational projects for which the Measure J Bonds have been authorized, through the acquisition and improvement of real property and the furnishing, building and equipping of school facilities of the District, all pursuant to the provisions of Proposition 39 and the Strict Accountability Act; and

WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the issuance of the Reauthorized Bonds will not result in an increase in the total authorized District debt pursuant to Measure J, the Board has determined and shall covenant that prior to issuing any series of Reauthorized Bonds, the Board will take all actions which are required in order to cancel a like aggregate principal amount of Measure J Bonds; and

WHEREAS, the Board is authorized to pursue the authorization and issuance of the Reauthorized Bonds under Article XIIIA by a 55 percent vote of the electorate on the question whether bonds of the District shall be issued and sold for specified purposes; and
