Over the last few <br />months, the Board has created and appointed a Bond Education Committee in preparation for <br />the November 2001 bond referendum. The Committee is comprised of interested citizens who <br />will communicate to community groups, civic organizations, and voters in general about the <br />needs that have led to the scheduling of a November 6, 2001 bond referendum for Orange <br />County. <br />Attached to this abstract is the charge to the Committee as approved by the BOCC at its June <br />25, 2001 regular meeting. Also attached is a draft agenda for the Committee's first meeting <br />scheduled for September 5, 2001 at 5:30 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center. In <br />addition to these materials, staff will also provide a preliminary PowerPoint presentation at the <br />August 30 work session for BOCC review prior to the September 5 Committee meeting. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the review of materials and <br />plans for the Bond Education Committee and its first meeting. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the attached <br />information and provide any further direction to staff. <br />
