2001 San Francisco Proposition A and 2005 San Francisco Proposition A were passed under the rules of 2000 Statewide Proposition 39, which directs that the Board of Trustees appoint a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) to monitor bond expenditures. The organization and conduct of the CBOC is laid out in the CBOC By-laws, which are approved by the Board of Trustees.

This Committee is responsible for reviewing expenditures related to the District’s $195,000,000 general obligation bond, Proposition A, approved by the voters on November 6, 2001; and $243,600,000 general obligation bond, Proposition A, approved by the voters on November 8, 2005.

The Committee meets four times a year (January, April, July, and October) at one of the District’s locations. Members have the opportunity to tour recently completed projects and project sites in construction. Committee members receive information and updates on bond-funded projects in progress throughout the District. The Committee produces an Annual Report to the Community, providing information about the District's bond-funded projects and conformance of financial expenditures with the voter-approved ballot measures.

Members serve two‐year terms and are allowed to serve up to 3 consecutive terms.
