O g oz I RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. School District. ITEM EXPLANATION 7339 raising school fees in the San Marco's The San Marcos School District has submitted a letter requesting revision of school fees. The District has recertified overcrowding in certain of its attendance areas. Not all attendance areas in the District are overcrowded. However, two schools that have district wide attendance areas, San Marcos Junior and San Marcos Senior High Schools, continue to be overcrowded. Therefore, the District is requesting that school fees collected from developers, pursuant to SB 201 and Chapter 21.55 of the Municipal Code, be increased 2.3%. The fee increase is summarized as follows: Present Fee Revised Fee Single Family Dwelling 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms 3 bedrooms or more Attached Family Dwelling Units 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms or more Family Mobile Home Parks 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms Single Family Mobile Home/single lot 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms Adult Mobile Home; Parks Per space $ 564 1128 1692 308 616 564 1128 564 1128 374 $ 577 1154 1731 315 630 577 1154 577 1154 383 At its September 6, 1983 meeting, the City Council reviewed the above request from San Marcos School District to raise school fees. The Council directed staff to obtain information regarding enrollment figures for the district for the last three years. As indicated in the attached letter from the district business manager, enroll- ments have increased steadily in the district and are anticipated to continue to do so. If the enrollment figures do not continue as projected and the district were not "overcrowded", the district would not be able to make a finding overcrowding existed and the City Council could end the collection of school fees at that time. Agenda Bill No. Page 2 ITEM EXPLANATION, Con't. The present fees became effective Octover 1, 1982. The Municipal Code allows the Council to adjust fees from time to time by Resolution. The revised fees will become effective November 1, 1983, The District has also submitted a report on how school fees have been used to relieve overcrowding and a statement concerning receipts and disbursements of the fees during the 1982-83 fiscal year (Exhibit 2) . FISCAL IMPACT: No direct fiscal impact on the City. EXHIBITS 1. Letter from San Marcos School District dated August 1, 1983 recertifying overcxowding conditions in the District. 2.

The schools of the District which are overcrowded are as follows: a) San Marcos High School b) San Marcos Junior High School c) San Marcos Elementary School d) Woodland Park Elementary School Please find enclosed an amended Resolution Re Conditions of Overcrowding in the San Marcos Unified School District school attendance areas passed and adopted by the Governing Board of the San Marcos Unified School District on July 25, 1983. The Governing Board proposes to utilize voluntary secured agreements between the School District and developer and asks that the City of Carlsbad consider the District's letter as a request pursuant to Section 21.55.120 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and that the City make a finding of overriding considerations and not require payment of SB 201 fees as a condition of approval of the project except for those developments in progress prior to July 1, 1982. TcTiarcrC. torbirf Business Manager RCC:LG Enclosure cc: Dr. Streshly Resolution No. 83-02 RESOLUTION RE CONDITIONS OF OVERCROWDING IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS On a motion of Member Katz , seconded by Member Maris , the following resolution is adopted: WHEREAS, for some time past there has been a continuing and substantial Increase in population within the boundaries of the San Marcos Unified School District to the extent that the school facilities of this district have become overcrowded; and WHEREAS, a very significant proportion of the increase in population in this district results from construction of residential units in new housing developments within the district; 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 educational facilities for all the children residing in this district; and WHEREAS, Chapter 4.7 (commencing with Section 65970; added by Stats. 1977, Chapter 955), Division 1, Title 7 to the Government Code making provision 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; and WHEREAS, the Board proposes to utilize voluntary secured agreements between the school district and developers to provide for the mitigation of overcrowding; and WHEREAS, the Board will notify the Cities, by letter, of the existence of agreements satisfactory to the district; and WHEREAS, the Board asks that the City of Carlsbad consider the district's letter as a request pursuant to Section 21.55.120 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and that the City make a finding of overriding considerations and not require the payment of SB 201 fees as a condition of approval of the project; and WHEREAS, the Board asks that the City of San Marcos consider the district's letter as a request pursuant to San Marcos City Ordinance 78-453 et seq. and that the City make a finding of overriding considerations and not require the payment of SB 201 fees as a condition of approval of the project in those facility planning areas which are part of the Public Facilities Element approved by the San Marcos City Council October 27, 1982, Resolution No. 81-1624; NOW THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED AND DETERMINED that conditions of overcrowding exist in the following attendance areas of the San Marcos Unified School District which will impair the normal functioning of educational programs in'those areas: (1) a) San Marcos High School ... b) San Marcos Junior High School c) San Marcos Elementary School d) Woodland Park Elementary School (2) Reasons for the conditions of overcrowding in the above- mentioned attendance areas include the following: (a) The existing enrollment, the anticipated additional enrollment, total enrollment, school capacity, and the antici- pated enrollment exceeding school capacity for each of the above listed attendance areas is as follows: CBEDS. Anticipated Total Capacity of Anticipated Enrollment Enrollment 'Enrollment School *'* ' Excess San Marcos 1433 147 . 1586 1380 206 High School New Horizons 109 21 130 1:30 0 San Marcos 908 61 969 825 144 Junior High . .Alvin Dunn 649 . - 38 687 747 ' 0 School Rich!and 712 -42 '670 760 0 School i San .Marcos 647 17 664 66° 4 Elementary Woodland 844 ' 80 924 829 95 Park School . -.(3) All reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of over- crowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such con- • ditions exists except (a) below. Mitigation measures considered by the 'governing board of this district to reduce the overcrowded conditions . include the following: - • ' ,. • (a) Agreements between subdividers and the district, whereby ..temporary use buildings are leased to the school district with1 , . • funds made available by subdividers. .• . - . •• (b) The use of temporary use buildings or relocatable structures. The use of such buildings is a feasible solution to part of the housing needs of the district but they are not suitable '•*• for all types of classes, particularly at the secondary level. Mobile home type portable classrooms are not adequate in size for the average class size of 31 students. Furthermore, the funds to obtain such • • relocatable classrooms would have to be made available to the district .either by agreements with subdividers or by supplemental district, financing such as a bond issue. (c) Student busing. Student busing is not a feasible alter- native in that it would require considerable added cost to the district for buser and drivers. ** Capacity includes Emergency Classroom relocatables leased from State of California, Page 3 (d) Double sessions. This is not a feasible alternative in that the instructional time for each student is reduced and students are required to attend school at times of the day that are not most conducive to learning. Double sessions also disrupt the home life of families and cause excessive wear on school facilities. (e) Year-round schools. This is not considered a favorable alternative in that a citizens committee recommended that year-round school not be considered as a feasible educational system at this time and the Board of Trustees has found no reason to disagree with this finding. (f) School boundary readjustment. This is not a favorable alternative in that boundary adjustments should not be made frequently as they disrupt the identification of students and families with a particular school. Cgl Elimination of low priority school facility uses, This ts not an alternative in this district in-as-much as there are no low priority facilities, Ch). With the advent of Proposition 13, the local tax rate is severely limited and unable to support the regular district operations. To divert any of the operating funds of the district to housing would severely curtail the district's ability to provide a quality education, The Governing Board of this district called a bond election ' flarch 7, IQJSTit failed to pass. Proposition 13 requires 2/3 of the qualified electors to pass a bond issue. This would be impossible to achieve, 01 The use of funds available from the sale of surplus school district real property and other available funds. This is not a feasible alternative in that the district does not have funds available from other sources and does not have surplus real property available to sell, (41 The conditions of overcrowding in this district and the population growth projected for this area can only be accomodated by new schools for the long-term; placement of temporary use buildings/relocatable structures and busing students are stop-gap measures for the near-term only and in and of themselves do not significantly reduce the conditions of overcrowding. Support_:,, By developers in the form of financial contributions or dedications of land isP ' necessary in order to try to keep abreast of population growth, and even with ,'•"'. such assistance, any significant reduction in conditions of overcrowding will be difficult until permanent additional classroom buildings can be constructed. Page 4 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 Supervisors of all cities and county within whose boundaries the school distirct lies together with copies of this district's policy on the subject of developers', subdividers1, 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.

Our school district maintains a separate fund for receipts and disbursements of the aforementioned fees. On June 30, 1983 the cash balance in that fund was $238,648.00. Income and disbursements for expenditures are summarized on the enclosed supplement, which also projects estimated expenditures for the next two years based on existing obligations. No attempt has been made to forecast income. Detailed records of actual sources of income by payor are maintained in the school district office as received from the various agencies collecting the fees on behalf of the district. Similarly, detailed records of expenditures are on file and available for audit. During the 1982-83 fiscal year an additional eleven relocatable trailer class- rooms were leased. In addition site preparation, furnishings and equipment for those trailer classrooms were funded by SB 201 monies. Relocatable class- rooms were located at Alvin Dunn Elementary School (4), San Marcos Elementary School (1), San Marcos Junior High School (5), and San Marcos High School (1). <i chard C.

Mannen Assistant City Manager/ Administration City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Mr. Mannen: Enclosed you will find a copy of enrollments and projections compiled by San Marcos School District architects, Davis-Duhaime, Associates. The projections cover a ten year period from 1976 to 1986. As you can see the district enrollments have increased consistently. As an indication of the accuracy of the architect's projections, last year the enrollment district-wide was 5302 and the projection was 5297. It is probable that the Carlsbad City Council did not take into consid- eration that as a unified district the junior high and high school might be considerably impacted by La Costa area students; whereas, the elementary school enrollments may fluctuate should the district need to transfer students between elementary attendance areas to meet student needs. It is unlikely that San Marcos Unified School District will be facing declining enrollments within the foreseeable future. Your help in presenting the enclosed information to the Carlsbad City Council will be appreciated. If there are further questions, please do not hesitate to call me. Sincerely, Vichara C.
