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 as follows:
Single Family Dwelling
1 bedroom
2 bedrooms
3 bedrooms or more
Attached Family Dwelling Units

As indicated in the above table the district is proposing that
school fees be raised substantially in the San Marcos Unified
School District. The primary reason for the large increase is
due to site preparation costs. The district has found that site
preparation costs have been much higher than anticipated or
allowed for in calculating the cost of supplying portable units
in the past. (See Exhibit #A to Resolution for more detailed
explanation.)
Mtg. 9/18/84
Dept. CM
ITEM EXPLANATION, Con't.
The present fees became effective November 1, 1983. The
Municipal code allows the Council to adjust fees from time
to time by Resolution. The revised fees will become effective
November 1, 1984.
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 1983-84
fiscal year (Exhibit 2).
DIRECT COLLECTION OF SCHOOL FEES BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
The City and School districts have worked out a procedure for the
school districts to collect fees directly from developers. The
City currently collects fees for the San Marcos, San Dieguito and
Encinitas Districts. The school fees are collected by the City
when the building permit is issued and forwarded to the school
districts on a monthly basis. Direct collection by school
districts will eliminate the need for the City to handle the
funds, get the funds into the hands of the district faster and
simplify the refund of fees when necessary. The disadvantage of
this revised procedure is the builders will be required to pay
fees at the school district offices rather than at City Hall.
The revised procedure is identical to the way the schools
districts and the County of San Diego handle collection of
school fees. The school district support this revised procedure.
A copy of the form to be used is attached for Council's
information.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact on the City.

RESOLUTION RE CONDITIONS
OF OVERCROWDING
IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS
On a motion of Member Rutherford _ ___» seconded by Member
_ » 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 district if the governing
board "of a school district has made a finding that condiditions of overcrowding
exist i'n 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 San Marcos Unified _ School District which will impair the normal
functioning of educational programs in those areas:
(a) San Marcos High School
(b.) San Marcos Junior High
(c) San Marcos-Elementary School
(d) Richland . Elementary School
(e) Woodland Park 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

exceeding school capacity for each of the above listed attendance areas
are as follows:

.(3). All reasonable methods of Tnitigating conditions of overcrowding have
been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such conditions 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 tem-
porary use buildings are leased to the school district with funds
made available by subdividers.
(bl 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 class-
rooms 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 a§ a bond issue.
Student busing. Student busing is not a feasible alternative in
that it would require considerable added cost to the district for buses
and drivers.
* CBEDS enrollment
** 31 students at all levels except Continuation School
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 ho 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.
Csl Elimination of low priority school facility uses. This
'is not an alternative in this district in-as-much as there are no
low priority facilities.
Oil 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
. ' "March 7, 1978; it failed to pass. Proposition 13 requires 2/3 of the
qualified electors to pass a bond issue. This would be impossible to
achieve,
•QI 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 is
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.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND" ORDERED that the Secretary of this Board deliver
certified copies of this resolution to the city councils and/or Efoard of Supervisors
of all cities and county within whose boundaries the school district lies together
with copies of this district's policy on the subject of developers', subdividers',
builders' contributions to mitigate impact, on school facilities to indicate the type
and scale of assistance considered apppropriate to meet the needs of this district.

Re: SB201 School Fees and Land Dedication Ordinance
The following information is submitted in order to comply with the provisions
of SB 201, which relate to School Fees and Land Dedication.
Our school district maintains a separate fund for receipts and disbursements
of the aforementioned fees. On June 30, 1984 the cash balance in that fund was
$668,626.00- 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 various agencies collecting the fees
on behalf of the district. Similarly, detailed records of expenditures are on
file and available for audit.
During the 1983-84 fiscal year an additional five relocatable classrooms were
leased. In addition, site preparation, furnishings and equipment for those
classrooms were funded by SB 201 monies. Relocatable classrooms were located
at Richland Elementary School (2), San Marcos Junior High (1) and San Marcos
High School (2).

Dear Mr. Mannen:
In the school year 1982-83 San Marcos Unified School District placed two
relocatable classrooms on the Alvin Dunn Elementary School campus. The
total cost for site preparation, electrical, concrete etc. was approximately
$123,862.96 (work orders, purchase orders, invoices enclosed). In the
school year 1983-84 the district placed two relocatable classrooms at
Richland Elementary School at an approximate cost for site work, necessary
auxiliary services and hook ups of $46,261.12 ( work orders, purchase
orders and invoices enclosed). Site preparation costs such as these
necessitated inclusion of these costs when developing a realistic "school
fee" schedule.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call.
