| This Reimbursement Agreement serves to acknowledge that the District will reimburse property owners the difference between the Level III and Level II fee amounts once the District receives state funding for said project.
History
On September 7, the Board adopted resolution 2016-17 #18 authorizing the imposition of Alternative School Facility Fees, also known as Level II and Level III fees on all new residential construction within the district. The Level III Fee is intended to represent one hundred percent (100%) of a school district’s school facility costs and may be imposed when the State Allocation Board (SAB) is no longer apportioning State Funding. On November 1, the SAB sent notification that it is no longer apportioning State Funding therefore triggering our ability to levy Level III fees. The District intends to impose Level III fees until State Funding is available for school facilities.
At the January 17, 2017 Board Meeting, the Governing Board approved the Reimbursement Agreement Document with the understanding that the agreement(s) would then come back to the Governing Board for ratification.
At the April 18, 2017 Board Meeting, the Governing Board approved a revised Reimbursement Agreement. The Reimbursement Agreement that was approved by the Governing Board was edited by two developers, both firms making the exact same revisions from SAB “made a determination” to “represents” (page 1,Section B). Legal counsel reviewed the wording revision on the Reimbursement Agreement provided by the developers and found it to be acceptable.
The Reimbursement Agreement attached to this item is the same template that was approved by the Governing Board on April 18, 2017. |

| Our Governing Board, in accordance with the provisions of Education Code 42601, authorizes the County Superintendent of Schools to make appropriate transfers necessary at the close of the 2016-17 school year to permit the payment of obligations of the district incurred during such school year. |
|
| The county will identify and make budget transfers, if needed, to permit payment of obligations at the close of the school year. The appropriation transfers made by the Division of School Financial Services (SFS) are only at the major object level to cover the overdraft at year end after the district has notified SFS that their books are closed. There will be no fiscal impact on the unassigned fund balances as the District will have paid all outstanding obligations prior to closing the books. |

|
| Pursuant to Article XIII, Section 36 of the California Constitution, school districts, county offices of education and community college districts are required to determine how the monies received from the Education Protection Account are spent in the school or schools within its jurisdiction, provided that the governing board makes the spending determinations in an open session of a public meeting. The language in the constitutional amendment requires that funds shall not be used for the salaries and benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs. There is also a requirement that districts must annually post on its website an accounting of how much money was received from EPA and how that money was spent. The EPA funds are NOT new dollars to the District, but are simply a portion of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). |
|
| Due to the annual requirement for board action and the fact that EPA apportionments will not be certified until late in the 2017-18 fiscal year, districts must estimate EPA revenue. The EPA revenue is estimated at $11,433,167.00. |

All internal transfers will be approved by the Assistant Superintendent of Business, Director of Fiscal Services or Superintendent before transfers are completed.
Any expenditure or revenue changes to the budget that affect fund balance will continue to be reported as a budget revision as an agenda item to the Board. |

|
| May 10, 2017 that an employee filed an OSHA complaint related to this issue. Testing so far has not indicated any hazards for students or staff, but District staff nevertheless desire to repair these issues as soon as possible before any potential hazards or damage arise. Accordingly, District staff request that the Board declare that the Bridgeport repairs are an emergency situation that will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and to authorize District staff to directly contract for immediate repairs. The District has opted into the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act, which permits the District to avoid public bidding in emergency situations, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Public Contract Code § 22050. |
