RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 7338 raising school fees in the Encinitas
School District.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Encinitas School District has submitted a letter requesting
revision of school fees. The District is requesting that school
fees collected from developers, pursuant to SB201 and Chapter
21.55 of the Municipal Code, be increased 6%. The fee increase
is summarized as follows:
Per bedroom or like room
Present Fee
$500
Proposed Fee
$530
The present fees became effective November 1, 1982. The Municipal
Code allows the Council to adjust fees from time to time by resolu-
tion. The revised fees will become effective November 1, 1983.
The school board has recertified that overcrowding exists in the
district.
The district has also reported how school fees were used to
relieve overcrowding.
At its September 6, 1983 meeting the City Council reviewed the
above request to raise school fees. The Council directed staff
to obtain information regarding enrollment figures for the last
three years. As indicated in the attached letter from the
Superintendent, enrollments have increased steadily and are
anticipated to continue to do so.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact on the City.
