The Ojai Parks & Recreation Commission meeting held on July 3, 2025, focused on the management and oversight of funds from recently sold school bonds intended for community projects, including a community pool.

The meeting began with a discussion led by a member of the Citizens Oversight Committee, who emphasized the importance of ensuring that the bond money is allocated correctly. The member acknowledged that while the bonds were marketed for the purpose of funding a community pool, there was a lack of detailed information regarding the specific expenditures.

The committee member reiterated their commitment to overseeing the spending of these funds, which is capped at $250,000 per year. This oversight is crucial to guarantee that the money is used solely for the purposes outlined in the bond agreement.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need for transparency and accountability in the use of the bond funds, highlighting the commission's dedication to serving the community's interests. Further discussions on the implementation of these projects are expected in future meetings.
