Beaumont将债券监督委员会扩大到19名成员,在11月投票前引起对透明度的关切。 Beaumont expands bond oversight committee to 19 members, sparking transparency concerns ahead of November vote.

博蒙特市议会批准扩大并重新命名一个公民委员会,以监督潜在的债券项目,将其增加到19名成员,并称之为债券促进委员会。 The Beaumont City Council approved expanding and renaming a citizen committee to oversee potential bond projects, increasing it to 19 members and calling it the Bond Facilitation Committee. 罗伊·韦斯特市长在没有理事会投入的情况下挑选了委员会成员,并列举了社区参与,而一些理事会成员和居民则批评这一进程仓促而缺乏透明度。 Mayor Roy West selected the members without council input, citing community involvement, while some council members and residents criticized the process as rushed and lacking transparency. 如果选民在11月4日的选举中核准发行2.64亿美元的债券,委员会将监测债券基金的使用情况。 The committee will monitor bond fund use if voters approve a $264 million bond issue in the November 4 election. 公众参与始于10月20日, 特别是一名理事会成员在甄选过程受到批评后辞职后, 民众对治理和问责问题日益关切。 Public engagement begins October 20, with concerns growing over governance and accountability, especially after a council member’s resignation amid criticism of the selection process.
