a Community college districts typically issue local general obligation bonds to pay for a share of project costs.    
b The 2020-21 Budget Act originally approved the preliminary plans and working drawings for this project, with the 2021-22 Budget Act approving the construction phase (at a total state cost of $21.9 million). Due to delays resulting from the need for additional seismic work, the budget reverts $10.2 million in Proposition 51 bond funds and provides $11.5 million in new Proposition 51 bond funds for the construction phase.
c The 2019-20 Budget Act originally approved the preliminary plans and working drawings for this project, with the 2021-22 Budget Act approving the construction phase (at a total project cost of $69.2 million). The administration indicates that the project has encountered significant project delays due to the need for additional seismic work and other factors. It also faces cost increases. As a result, the budget reverts $63.8 million in Proposition 51 bond funds and provides $72.3 million in funds from several bonds (Propositions 1A, 1D, 47, 51, 153, and 203) for the construction phase.
P = preliminary plans. W = working drawings. C = construction.
