Item 5
Meeting Date 9/10/85
ITEM TITLE: ResolutionA/d-,Supporting State Funding for Schools
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney ` (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
This resolution expresses the Council's support for new state funding for
school construction.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
At our joint meeting with the local school boards, it became obvious that the
only solution to new school construction must come from the state. Presently,
state law permits fees for interim facilities. There is a legal controversy
as to whether alternative methods of raising fees for school construction are
legal and the question is presently before the California Supreme Court.
Regardless of how the Court decides, there is still the question of who should
pay for the schools.
Presently, a disproportionate amount of the funding for schools comes from
developers and new home buyers. In order to provide for a more equitable
system of funding schools, the legislature must come up with new legislation
which would spread the burden more equitably. This resolution expresses our
support for such legislation to our local representatives.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
