Propositions S & N Annual Report A Message from the Chair
W
e are now seven years into the San Diego Community College District’s $1.555 billion construction bond program, a consolidation of the $685 million Proposition S, passed in 2002, and the $870 million Proposition N, passed in 2006. Nearly $500 million has been expended to date, resulting in the completion of more than 30 voter-approved projects. New in 2009 In 2009, the District completed several projects, including the new Hourglass Park Field House at Miramar College, the renovated Academic Success Center at City College, the new Allied Health Education and Training Facility at Mesa College, and the new Skills Center at the Educational Cultural Complex. These buildings are a tribute to the foresight and investment in the future of education and community workforce development by the San Diego taxpayers who passed these propositions. Seven Straight Years of Clean Audits Since the inception of the bond program, Financial Performance Audits have been performed as required by state law. Each audit has consistently verified that bond fund expenditures were spent as approved and intended by San Diego voters. Standard & Poor’s bond performance rating for SDCCD remains at AA+. This is the highest possible bond rating, and the highest of any California community college district. Monitoring activities performed by the COC include regular budget reviews, design presentations, and reports on the program progress for each college and Continuing Education campus. A detailed summary of the 2009 activities, all meeting documents and reports, and the COC meeting calendar are available online at www.sdccdprops-n.com. As always, your attendance and participation at COC meetings is welcome and encouraged. Sincerely,

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs To date, there have been more than 5,500 jobs generated on Propositions S and N projects for local builders, subcontractors, specialty trades and providers of professional services such as engineers, geotechnical experts and others. These are prevailing-wage jobs which enable workers to raise families, while also providing an investment into the local workforce. In 2010, five more Propositions S and N projects will be starting construction, generating nearly $110 million in new contracts, and at least 1,200 new jobs.
Skills Center Opens as Nation’s Largest Automotive Technology Training Center For San Diego resident Gilbert Mirabal, receiving a mailer about the new Skills Center became a lifechanging catalyst. Mirabal had been out of work for nine months, after having worked in industrial sales for more than 30 years. He’d done research about promising career paths, and felt the automotive technology industry offered an ideal second career. When he saw the mailer, he felt it was “meant to be.” “I had to enroll right away. As soon as I saw the place was open, I was here.” Within a matter of weeks, Mirabal was tapped to take a paid internship with South Bay Subaru, which, along with other dealerships, scouts for talented mechanics at the Skills Center. Mirabal is earning a steady income, learning on the job and continuing his studies at the Skills Center. “The training we receive here gives us a boost in the real workplace,” said Mirabal. “It has totally opened doors for me, and I’m in a new career with tremendous growth opportunity.” The Skills Center is the largest automotive technology skills center of its kind in the nation, supporting career training programs in Automotive Technology, Automotive Mechanical and Electrical Repair, Automotive Body Repair, Automotive Upholstery, Graphic Printing Technology, Computer Graphic Arts, Cisco Lab, Business Information Technology and Welding. Mirabal voted yes for Propositions S and N, and is grateful for what the projects have provided for the community as well as his new career.
