SACRAMENTO - The state Controller's Office announced Friday that it will conduct an audit of San Joaquin Delta College's management of $250 million in voter-approved bond money.
The audit was requested by state Sen. Michael Machado, D-Linden.
In a letter to Delta administrators, Jeffrey Brownfield, chief of the Controller's Office Division of Audits, said he would examine whether bond proceeds were properly managed and spent, among other things.
Delta trustees were told in June that they must cut $62.5 million worth of projects that were to have been funded by the 2004 Measure L bond.
A satellite campus in Mountain House has been scaled back, and officials are considering significantly altering a proposed campus in Lodi, because there's not enough money left.
Among other problems, the San Joaquin County civil grand jury reported in June that Delta trustees squandered millions when they decided to build that south county campus in Mountain House rather than Tracy.
The college has blamed past consultants for underestimating the cost of a number of bond-funded construction projects.
