Chief Business Official, Terese McNamee will present to the Governing Board the Annual and Five Year Developer Fee Report for 2019-20, which includes certain findings for developer fees collected from residential and commercial projects, for approval and action. |
Once the District adopts a resolution to levy a school fee on either residential or commercial development, it is required to make an Annual and Five Year Report on certain findings pursuant to Government Code Sections 66001 and 66006. This report is to be made available to the public, upon request, 180 days from the close of the fiscal year. The Board is to adopt the report at a public meeting. The findings report must include the following: • the amount of the fees collected; • the beginning and ending balances of the developer fee account, and the interest earned; • details on which projects the fees that were collected were spent on, including the percentage of the project actually funded by the fees; • any incomplete projects with estimated dates for commencement of construction; and any inter-fund loans, including amount and date of repayment. The collected developer fees are being spent according to prescribed guidelines, specifically within five years from collection. For FY 2019-20, the District collected $204,363 in revenue at a rate of $3.48 per square foot for residential and .56 per square foot for commercial. The District had $0 in expenses, leaving an ending balance of $910,306. In FY 20-21, $41K of this balance must be spent. We anticipate using these funds for HVAC improvements, solar and battery backup and field upgrades.
