    Notice of Meeting

    On Thursday, September 25, 2008, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on bond oversight. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Room 437 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

    This is the first of two planned hearings as part of the Commission’s review of oversight mechanisms for state bond expenditures. The Commission’s interest stems from the state’s sizeable bond package enacted in November 2006, which adds $43 billion in bonding capacity for infrastructure investment, and its concerns about whether adequate mechanisms exist to ensure this money is spent efficiently and effectively. This hearing will provide perspectives from the California State Controller’s Office, the California State Treasurer’s Office, the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the California Department of Finance and other fiscal policy experts. A complete agenda is on the reverse.

    There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments. A business meeting will follow the hearing.
