Funding to equip De Anza College with wireless Internet access will be on the ballot this June, as part of a proposed $490 million ballot initiative, said Jeanine Hawk, the vice president of finance and college services of De Anza.

If approved by 55 percent of voters, Measure C will fund the construction of a new mediated learning center, the renovation and maintenance of existing buildings, new equipment and the replacement of all district computers, Hawk said.

Additionally, bond money will be used either for the renovation of the off-campus Middlefield Center or for the purchase of more property, possibly at Moffett Field, Hawk said.

The potential bond money is the only source of funding for many of these projects, said Anna Callahan, the president of the student senate.

The district has reserved $18 million for a new parking structure, but has not decided whether an entire new facility will be necessary, said Betsy Bechtel, the president of the board of trustees.

Alternatively, the money could be spent on a parking deck attached to the mediated learning center, Bechtel said.

John Cognetta, the adviser to the student government, raised concerns that a parking structure could occupy the space used by the flea market, having a "potentially disastrous" result on student finances.

"We will always make sure that the market remains a viable entity," Hawk said.

Bond money will also pay for an expansion of the planetarium, a new transit center on campus, secure bike lockers and maintenance for the Sunken Garden, in addition to other projects.

Kris Vosburgh, the executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an organization that lobbies for lower taxes, opposed the bond because only 55 percent of voters would have to approve it.

This was too low of a threshold because "everyone votes, and only those who own property are required to pay," said Vosburgh.

The bond will fund the "classroom, facility and equipment needs for the De Anza and Foothill Colleges over the next fifteen years," said Laura Casas Frier, a Foothill-De Anza board trustee. The Board of Trustees found that the bond would cost homeowners an estimated $24 annually per $100,000 of assessed value.
