Title: PL1 School Concurrency Interlocal Agreement Second Amendment

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board approve the second amendment to the Interlocal Agreement for School Concurrency and authorize the Chairman of the Board and the Superintendent to sign all necessary documents.

Description:

The original Interlocal Agreement was approved in January 2001 and amended in 2003.

This is a second amendment to reflect the changes resulting from Senate Bill 360 and improve the reporting procedures.

IPARC Planning Directors and the attorney for the League of Cities reviewed the proposed amendments and provided input.

The Technical Advisory Group reviewed and approved the proposed changes on September 25, 2006.

The changes include the following:

Six-Year Capital Improvement Schedule requirement is changed to Five Year.  The School District’s Capital Plan is for Five Years like local governments.  The sixth year was added to ensure any minor gap relating to the budget year.  It was redundant and time consuming to add a sixth year.  The local governments agreed to keep it all at Five Year.

Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs) were adopted by a Comprehensive Plan Amendment pursuant to the language in the original Interlocal Agreement and accompanying Public Education Facilities Element.  SB 360 allows for CSAs to be a part of the data and analysis of the local governments Comprehensive Plan and therefore deleting the need for an amendment.

Provision for Tiered Level of Service was deleted since the adopted level of service became effective in 2004.

Proportionate Share Mitigation was added to the Agreement resulting from the new language in SB 360.

Population Projections methodology was amended to reflect the actual process used by the School District’s demographer and specific time frames for local governments to provide data to the school district was added deleting the date specific requirements.

Multipliers approved by the School Board in 2002 will be incorporated in the Agreement as an Exhibit replacing the old multipliers prior to school concurrency.

All references to suspension and termination were deleted since school concurrency is now mandatory.  Provision for evaluation by the Technical Advisory Group if the level of service is exceeded has been added.

Financial Impact:
None
