Had the pleasure of attending the Ojai Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday at which Measure J was discussed by Superintendent Bangser. He took a number of questions. I specifically asked whether, if the bond passes, the District will develop a Master Plan to identify and prioritize actual construction projects. Bangser said unequivocally, yes. He further committed that the Plan will be developed incorporating both staff and community involvement and input. I support Measure J and believe that it is critical to the continued health of the District. But I also believe that the use of the funds must be carefully strategized and planned out, and that community involvement and oversight is a mandatory part of the process. Overall a useful and informative event. Thanks to the Ojai Valley Chamber of Commerce for their service to the community in sponsoring this event.
