R1

The MPC Board of Trustees should determine whether or not they want to move ahead with the MOUT project. Response: This recommendation has not yet been implemented, but MPC Board of Trustees approval will be completed by October 31, 2018. Each year, the District is required to submit its 5 Year Construction Plan to the California Community College Chancellor's Office, which indicates the capital facilities projects the District intends to build. The deadline is usually July 1; however, an update to the state facilities database system, known as FUSION, has moved this year's due date to fall 2018 (the exact date is still being determined). One of the projects in the District's 5 Year Plan is the Fort Ord Public Safety - Phase II project, which includes the MOUT project as a component. The Fort Ord Public Safety - Phase II project is currently approved by the state Chancellor's Office for a 50% state funding match and before MPC can proceed, the state must issue bonds to fund the state portion. The MPC Board of Trustees will consider approval of the 5 Year Construction Plan, including the Fort Ord Public Safety - Phase II project,

The MPC Board of Trustees should determine whether or not they want to move ahead with establishing a long-rifle range at Parker Flats. Response: This recommendation has not yet been implemented, but MPC Board of Trustees approval will be completed by October 31, 2018. - August 1, 2018 The Honorable Stephanie E.

A current financial plan detailing the feasibility of these projects should be developed by MPC. Response: This recommendation will be implemented in the future when state funding of community college facilities projects, including MPC's Fort Ord Public Safety - Phase II project, is known. As stated in the responses to Recommendations 1 - 3, MPC's project has been approved for a 50% state funding match. For the past few years, MPC's project has been included in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 capital outlay spending plan approved by the Chancellor's Office and Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. However, for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 budget years, the state has allocated funding to a limited group of community college construction projects, only those which addressed fire and life safety concerns. A new governor will be elected in November 2018 and a different approach and spending priorities for the 2019-20 state budget are to be expected, including the allocation of funding to community college facilities projects. Having this information is necessary to the financial plan and evaluation of feasibility. In addition, an analysis of infrastructure needs, construction requirements related to land use covenants in place on MPC's Fort Ord parcels, cost estimates, and the current vision of this project will need to be completed before a financial plan can be developed.

R6

If the MPC Board of Trustees does not proceed on one or more of these projects, MPC should give up their claim, so the land can be transferred for other allowed and desirable purposes. Response: This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not reasonable and does not acknowledge the Fort Ord property transfer process, longstanding contractual agreements with the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and Monterey County regarding transfer of these parcels to MPC, and the impact on MPC's public safety training program. Further, the MPC Board of Trustees intends to proceed with these projects. Thank you for the opportunity to respond the the Civil Grand Jury's Report. Respectfully submitted, Waltha.
