Chapter 8 — SCHOOL DEDICATION FEES

Following the decision by the County to require the payment of fees in accordance with Section 10-8.12 or 10-8.13 of this chapter, the governing body of the school district shall submit a schedule to the Board specifying how it will use the fees to solve the conditions of overcrowding. The schedule shall include the school sites to be used, the classroom facilities to be made available, and the times when such facilities will be available. In the event the governing body of the school district cannot meet the schedule, it shall submit modifications to the Board and the reasons for the modifications.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

Fees shall be held in trust by the County until transferred to the school district operating schools in the overcrowded attendance area from which the fees were collected.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

If a residential building permit or residential development permit approval is vacated or voided, and if the County still retains the fees collected for it, and if the applicant so requests, the Board may order returned to the applicant such fees.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

All fees collected pursuant to this chapter and transferred to a school district shall be used only for the purpose of providing the interim elementary or high school classroom and related facilities necessary for the instructional program.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

Where two (2) separate school districts operate schools in an attendance area which includes the unincorporated territory of the County where the Board concurs that overcrowding conditions exist for both school districts, the Board will determine the distribution of the revenues from the fees levied pursuant to this chapter.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

Any school district receiving funds pursuant to this chapter shall maintain a separate account for any fees paid and shall file a report with the Board on the balance in the account at the end of the previous fiscal year and the facilities leased, purchased, or constructed during the previous fiscal year. In addition, the report shall specify which attendance areas which include unincorporated territory of the County will continue to be overcrowded when the fall term begins and where conditions of overcrowding will no longer exist. Such report shall be filed by August 1 of each year and shall be filed more frequently at the request of the Board.

(§ I, Ord. 885, eff. June 8, 1979)

When it is determined that conditions of overcrowding no longer exist in an attendance area which includes unincorporated territory of the County, the County shall cease levying any fee pursuant to this chapter for such area.
