The Chapter was adopted pursuant to Government Code Sections 65970 et seq. , commonly known as SB-201. The 1979 Legislature, as a part of Assembly Bill 8, the Proposition 13 bail out bill, has amended the school fee lav;. That amendment requires some revisions to Chapter 21.55 and will require the School Districts and the Council to take certain steps in order to continue to collect school fees. A memorandum discussing the matter in detail is attached. Also attached is an ordinance which in our judgment makes the changes required by the nei* law. Finally, we have attached a draft of the letter to our School Districts outlining the steps which they must take in that regard. Exhibits City Attorney's memorandum dated August 28, 1979. Two excerpts from AB-8. Ordinance No. Draft letter to School Districts. Recommendation If the City Council concurs, your action is to adopt Ordinance No . (/5o> v3 and , by motion, to authorize the City Manager to forward the letter to the School Districts and take such other steps as he considers necessary to implement the new law. Council Action: 9-4-79 Council adopted Ordinance No. 9533, amending the Municipal Code to revise the provisions requiring dedication of land and fees for school facilities and declaring the urgency thereof. MEMORANDUM DATE: August 28, 1979 TO: Mayor and City Council TO: City Attorney FROM: DEDICATION OF LAND AND FEES FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES For a number of years it has been the policy of the City Council to attempt to aid our school districts in meeting the demands placed upon them by new development. Carlsbad was one of the first cities in California to adopt a school policy which required developers to contribute to the cost of providing school facilities. Council's policy was incorporated in our General Plan by the adoption of a Public Facilities Element. That element requires that the City Council find that all public facilities, including schools, will be available concurrent with need before approving a development. Traditionally, the City Council was able to make that determination in regards to schools based on a letter of availability from the district. The school district required the developer to contribute in varying amounts to the cost of facilities in return for such a letter. The Carlsbad Unified School District continues to operate under this system. In 1977 the Legislature added Chapter 4.7, Section 65970 et seq., to the Government Code to provide for the dedication of land or the payment of fees for interim school facilities. This legis- lation was commonly known as SB-201. It provided that school districts who were faced with pressure on their facilities could adopt a resolution of overcrowding. On presentation of that resolution to the City Council, we could not proceed to approve residential developments without either making a finding of overriding considerations or adopting an ordinance providing for the dedication of land or the payment of fees for school facilities. The City Manager and I advised our school districts to hold the SB-201 procedure in reserve and continue to operate under the Public Facilities Element. Notwithstanding that advice the San Diequito, Encinitas and San Marcos School Districts adopted resolutions of overcrowding. The City Council then proceeded to add Chapter 21.55 to the Carlsbad Municipal Code to provide for the dedication of land and fees for school facilities. In November of 1978 the Council, based upon recommendations from the districts, adopted standards for determining the amount of fees to be required. Mayor and City Council -2- August 28, 1979 The final action by the Council in implementing SB-201 was a decision on the interrelationship between the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan and Chapter 21.55. The Council resolved the matter by adopting Council Policy No. 17 on September 6, 1978. That policy spells out the evidence required to satisfy the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan. The Policy provides that the Council will continue to require letters of availability for services which are provided by another governmental entity. However, developments which are required to dedicate land or pay fees for school facilities pursuant to Chapter 21.55 are deemed to have satisfied the Public Facilities Element in regards to schools and no school letter is required. Recently school fees have been the subject of a great deal of scrutiny by the Legislature and the courts. The Attorney General has rendered an opinion that SB-201 school fees are a special tax under Article XIII(A) of the Constitution (Prop. 13) and that, therefore, they may not be validly collected without a two-thirds vote of the electorate. That opinion was brought to the Council's attention by a memorandum from my office dated May 31, 1979. A copy is attached for your ready reference. The City Council determined to continue to collect school fees notwithstanding the opinion. The Attorney General's view has been adopted by at least one Superior Court Judge in Shasta County—that case is presently on appeal. The 1979 session of the Legislature has adopted a comprehensive Prop. 13 "Bail Out" bill (Chapter 282). Buried in the midst of its one hundred plus pages are some significant amendments to the school fee law. The brief history of the Council's efforts to aid our school districts set out above is offered to assist in understanding the new law and the steps which must be taken by the City Council and the school districts in order to implement it. SB-201 permitted the City Council to require the payment of a fee for interim facilities. The fee schedules as recommended by the school districts and implemented by the Council were all based on a cost of permanent facilities. There were differences of opinion as to whether or not permanent facilities could be considered interim. Perhaps the most significant part of AB-8 is that interim school facilities are now clearly defined. The new law limits interim facilities to temporary classrooms, including the utilities, furnishings and toilet facilities not constructed on permanent foundations. Because of this limitation, it will no longer be possible for the City to collect a school fee based on the cost of permanent Mayor and City Council -3- August 28, 1979 facilities. We will have to amend Chapter 21.55 to so provide. The school districts will be required to make new recommendations on the amount of fees consistent with the new law. Those recommendations must be made within sixty days or the district will waive its fees. In making the recommendations, the new law provides that the fee may not exceed the amount necessary to pay five annual lease payments for interim facilities. AB-8 gives the builder, at his option, the right to provide interim facilities in lieu of a fee for a five year period. Finally, the Legislature has prohibited the city from collecting a fee within any district which has received an apportionment pursuant to the Leroy F. Green State School Building Lease Purchase Law of 1976. An ordinance making the necessary changes to Chapter 21.55 has been prepared. In our opinion it is necessary in order to bring Chapter 21.55 into compliance with state law and we recommend its adoption. Section 21.55.260 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires school districts who receive school funds to report to the City Council by August 1st on the facilities leased, purchased, or constructed during the previous year. In addition, the report must specify which attendance areas will continue to be overcrowded when the Fall term begins and where conditions of overcrowding will no longer exist. The report must be filed by August 1st. To my knowledge none of the school districts have filed the required report. San Diequito has addressed a letter to the Council, dated August 2, 1979, which asks the Council to take into consideration the diffi- culties the district is experiencing in providing school facilities. The letter, however, does not include the informa- tion required by Section 21.55.260. While recognizing some of the limitations on school fees imposed by AB-8, the letter does not recommend any changes in their fee schedules. We have also received a letter from San Marcos, dated August 20, 1979, forwarding a new resolution of overcrowding for that district and recommending a new fee schedule. It contains some but not all of the information required by Section 21.55.260. The fee schedule is based upon the purchase price of "standard size relocatable classrooms" which may not be consistent with AB-8. We have taken the liberty of preparing a draft of a letter to our school districts reminding them of their obligations under Section 21.55.260 and informing them about AB-8 and the necessary changes in Chapter 21.55. The letter also requests the districts to make new fee recommendations consistent with the new law. If the City Council concurs, your should direct Mayor and City Council -4- August 28, 1979 the City Manager to send the letter to Encinitas, San Diequito and San Marcos School Districts and take other steps as he considers necessary to assist the districts in complying with AB-8 and Chapter 21.55 as amended. The new law limiting the amount of school impact fees to the cost of temporary facilities could have a number of ramifications, It would probably be more appropriate for the City Manager to discuss the various possibilities. One which bears comment from my office would be a request from a district to reconsider Council Policy No. 17 and require a letter of availability in lieu of, or in addition to, SB-201 school fees. In that regard the County of San Diego has requested an Attorney General's opinion on the question of whether or not AB-8 preempts locally imposed school fees. ' VINCENT F. BIONDO, JR.

A copy of the opinion is attached. The opinion was discussed at the San Diego-Imperial County City Attorneys' Association .-meeting of May 24, 1979. With the exception of City Attorney of Escondido, it was the consensus of our association that the funds collected as a result of the implementation of SB 201 should be treated as a fee and not a tax and that the constitutional limitations of Article XIIIA had no bearing on the SB 201 school fees. During the preparation of the opinion, the Attorney General solicited the views of the County Counsel of San Diego. In October of 1978 the County Counsel issued an opinion to the Escondido Union School District concluding that Prop 13 had no application to school fees. In December of 1978 the County Counsel reiterated that view in replying to the Attorney General's inquiry. In the absence of any judicial authority, the opinions of the Attorney General are entitled to some weight in the courts. However, they are not binding. The meaning of Proposition 13 is currently being subjected to a number of lawsuits in the State of California. It is possible that the view of the Attorney General, that is, that everything is a tax and all taxes are special taxes, will ultimately prevail. However, in my opinion, that is not what Proposition 13 says and is not what it should be held to mean. In that regard, you should have reference to the paper prepared by Mr. Hentschke and myself as presented to the spring meeting of the League of California Cities. Mayor and City Council -2- May 31, 1979 It is necessary that the City Council determine whether or not they wish to alter the City's current ordinance which imposes the SB 201 school fees. I have advised the City Manager that he should continue to enforce the ordinance and collect the fees. However, I have also advised that for the time being the City retain the fees collected in a trust fund until the questions raised by the Attorney General's opinion can be resolved. Unless the City Council directs otherwise, it is my understanding that the City Manager intends to follow that advice. As the Council will recall, .the City Manager and I both advised our school districts to delay implementation of SB 201 while continuing to operate under our Public Facilities Element. The Carlsbad Unified School District adopted that course and has never implemented SB 201 and, therefore, will not be affected by the Attorney General's opinion. In that regard, the County Counsel has requested an Attorney General's opinion on the question of whether or not SB 201 preempts school policies similar to our Public Facilities Element. It is my opinion that it does not. I have advised the City Manager that in the absence of any judicial precedent to the contrary, we should also continue to enforce the Public Facilities Element in the Carlsbad District. Unless the City Council directs otherwise, it is my understanding that he intends to follow that advice. The City Council may wish to consider directing a letter to the four school districts that have implemented SB 201. informing them of the problem and suggesting that they may wish to resume utilization of the Public Facilities Element in lieu of their continuing reliance on the SB 201 school fees. If the City Council wishes any additional information on this matter, I will be prepared to discuss it at your June 5, 1979 regular meeting. / VINCENT F. BIONDO, JR.

(SB-201), the City Council has adopted Chapter 21.55 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code to provide for the dedication of land and the payment of fees for interim school facilities. The City Council has, by resolution, accepted the recommenda- tions of your district on the standards for the amount of fees to be collected. Under the school fee law your district is required to report by August 1st of each year on the facilities leased, purchased or constructed during the previous fiscal year. In addition, the report must specify which of your attendance areas will continue to be over- crowded when the Fall term begins and where conditions of overcrowding will no longer exist. To-date we have not received your report and would appreciate it at your earliest convenience. As you are likely well aware, the 1979 session of the State Legislature has seen fit to amend the provisions of the state law which allow us to collect school impact fees. Those amendments were contained as a part of AB-8, Chapter 282, statutes of 1979, commonly known as the Proposition 13 "Bail Out" bill. In response to that legislation, the Carlsbad City Council, at their September 4, 1979 meeting, (introduced an/ordinance amending Chapter 21.55 of the Carlsbad~Trcm±c±pal Co/do to bring it into conformance with the new state law. -2- A copy of the ordinance, the new lav; and a memorandum of explanation from our City Attorney is enclosed for your information. The most significant effect of the legislation is to limit the amount of fees which we can collect to the amount necessary to pay five annual lease payments for interim facilities which are now defined as temporary classrooms not constructed with permanent foundations. Because of this limitation it is now necessary for your governing board to recommend new standards for the amount of fee to be collected within your attendance areas lying within the City of Carlsbad. That recommendation must be made within sixty days of the date of this letter or you will have waived any fees. In addition, the new law prohibits the collection of a fee on behalf of any district which has received an apportionment pursuant to the Leroy F. Green State School Building Lease Purchase Law of 1976. Please inform us whether or not your district has received such an apportionment. It is necessary, upon receipt of such an apportionment in the future, for you to immediately notify the City. AB-8, an urgency measure, was signed into law on July 24, . 1979 and became immediately effective. Therefore, the City will retain all school fees collected after that date until a new fee schedule, consistent with AB-8, is adopted. After adoption the difference between the amount collected and the new fee will be refunded to the developer. Please contact my office, or the City Attorney, if you have any questions about the new law or if we can otherwise assist you in carrying out its requirements as outlined in this letter.
