The Encinitas Union School District has purchased five portable class- rooms and three trailers for support services. La Costa developments have contributed significantly to our dilemma. These developments are approximately four to five miles from our nearest school. Two of our schools are already substandard in acreage, therefore, it is not feasible to place portables on these sites. Another factor that the school district must take into con- sideration is the cost of transporting these children. The Encinitas Union School District has a ten-acre site in the La Costa area. Our immediate future plan is to place interim modular- type buildings that conform as closely as possible architecturally with the community. These buildings could be moved to other sites. Our future student population projections will be in the east and northeast portion of our district. We have placed four of our six schools on a year-round schedule and we are nearing our capacity on this schedule. Our long range plans are to lease/purchase the modular portable buildings in an attempt to return, if at all possible, to a traditional schedule since the majority of the community would prefer a traditional schedule accord- int to our last survey. EXCELLENCE IS OUR GOAL The Encinitas Union School District established a base fee of $400.00 per bedroom in 1979. The base has remained the same using the ENR (Engineering News Record Index) of 6.62% for 1980-81, 400 X 6.62% = $426.00.00 per bedroom. The same ENR index is being used for 1981-82, $426.00 X 9.33% = $465.00. The Encinitas Union School District devel- opers fees' will be $465.00 per bedroom beginning 8/1/81 to 7/31/82.

That the above recitations are true and correct. B. That the standard for the amount of fees to be required as a condition of approval for residential developments within that portion of the City of Carlsbad, which is also within the boundaries of the Encinitas Union School District, shall be as contained in Exhibit A. C. This determination is based upon the City Council's concurrence in the recommendations made by the Governing Board of the Encinitas Union School District, including the facts support- ing such recommendations as contained in Exhibit A. D. Unless the decision-making body especially determines to the contrary, the City Council hereby determines that the following findings and requirements shall apply to any residential develop- ment of fifty units or less: 1. All such developments shall be required to pay fees in accordance with the schedule in Exhibit A. 18 2.

RAUTENKRANZ, City (SEAL) Exhibit A to Res ENCINITAS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT Resolution No. 7-8182 RESOLUTION RE CONDITIONS OF OVERCROWDING IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS On motion of Member _ Nortman _ , seconded by Member _ Mac, In tyre _ t^e following resolution is adopted: WHEREAS, for some time past there has been a continuing and substantial increase in population within the boundaries of the Encinitas Union School District to the extent that the school facilities of this district have become overcrowded; and WHEREAS, in the absence of assistance in the form of financial contributions or dedications of land from the developers of such new residential developments this district would not have financial resources adequate to provide proper ed- ucational facilities for all the children residing in this district; and WHEREAS, Chapter 4.7 (commencing with Section 65970; added by Stats. 1977, Chap. 955), Division 1, Title 7 to the Government Code making provisions for financial or other assistance by developers to school districts if the governing board of a school district has made a finding that conditions of overcrowding exist in one or more attendance areas of the district including the specific data specified in Government Code Section 65971; NOW THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED AND DETERMINED that, pursuant to Government Code Section 65971, this governing board makes the following findings; (1) Conditions of overcrowding exist in the following attendance areas of the Encinitas Union School District which will impair the normal functioning of educational programs in those areas: Year-round /traditional schools: Capri, Flora Vista, Ocean Knoll, Park Dale Lane. Pacific View - year round at parental request Traditional school: Central School Agenda Item 3. 15* (a) July 21, 1981 (2) Reasons for the conditions of overcrowding in the above-mentioned attendance areas include the following: a. An influx of large single and multiple family dwellings by large developers. b. Letters of availability issued to developers represent a potential 1740 students through 1990. Under policy 1-43 we are not meeting the adequate needs of the community according to the recent survey. (3) All reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such conditions exits. Miti- gation measures considered by the governing board of this district to reduce the overcrowded conditions include the following: a. Year-round school adopted in four of six schools for overcrowding as per District Policy 6159 requiring return to traditional track when facilities are available. b. Increased class size beyond Board practices from 27:1 to 32:1 teacher contract maximum. c. Passage of a lease/purchase bond was accomplished prior to Proposition 13. d. Portable classrooms through lease/purchase - we have added two additional units. e. District maintains open intra-district boundaries to equally distribute student population. (4) The conditions of overcrowding in this District and the explosive population growth projected for this area can only be accommodated by the new schools for the long-term; placement of temporary use buildings/relocatable structures and busing of students are stop-gap measures for the near-term only, and in and of themselves do not significantly reduce the conditions of overcrowding. Agenda Item 3.15*(b) -Tnlv 21. 198] Support by developers in the form of financial contributions or dedications of land is necessary in order to try to keep abreast of population growth, and even with such assistance, any significant reduction in the conditions of overcrowding will not occur until additional classroom buildings can be constructed. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the Secretary of this Board deliver certified copies of this resolution to the city councils and/or Board of Super- visors of all cities and County within those boundaries the school district lies, together with copies of this District's policy on the subject of developers', subdividers', and builders' contributions to mitigate impact on school facilities, to indicate the type and scale of assistance considered appropriate to meet the needs of this District.

September 1 1981 LindstromMr. Donald E Superintendent of Schools Encinitas Union School District 189 Union Street Encinitas, California (92024) Re: School Fees We have over 500 active permit applications being processed in the Building department. Many of these will become permits in the next 45 clays. Our budget wi 11 not provide staff to re- calculate all these permits, so we are notifying the applicants of the coming fee increase which gives them a chance to avoid the increase and reduces the city workload by decreasing th number of permits to be rewritten. Those that are not issued in the next 45 days will be rewritten, and the city will absorb t h e c o s t. We see, also, that our citizens are experiencing "fee" changes in every phase of their lives and are increasing their resistance to these changes. We intensify that resistance when increases are ma d e without adequate notice. This waiting period before increased school fees are collected is thoughtful of the rights of the citizen and reasonable for the city of Carlsbad and the school districts involved.
