PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Lindemans requested the City Council be permitted to hear Public Comments during the joint meeting rather than at the Board's customary time, which is at the end of the Governing Board's agenda. It was agreed by unanimous consensus of the City Council and the Governing Board to hear public comments on the subject of the joint meeting at 6:50 P.M. to accommodate the speakers wishing to address both the Council and the Governing Board. 5.Joint Meetina The Governing Board and the City Council conducted a Joint Meeting to discuss the imposition of school mitigation fees in connection with the City's Development Impact Fees. Director of Community Development Gary Thornhill outlined the process the City has been following together with the Planning Commission and the Development Community to determine the various fees that the City will charge in the future. Dave Gallaher representing the School District outlined the areas where the District expects the heaviest construction to take place within the District. He illustrated the areas which do not have development agreements for mitigation of the impacts of future housing in the District and City. He also showed the future homes that require mitigation agreements, per the City's resolution and the future homes approved at $1.84 and/or CFD's and those covered by mitigation agreements or requirements per the County of Riverside resolution. Mr. Gallaher stated the Temecula Valley School District is recommending $5.54 per square foot for future homes (not covered by agreements) for a maximum of $10,207 per single family home for full mitigation. This is based on a 1,800 +/- square foot home. Mayor Lindemans presented the future picture based on the District's set projections and argued that the recommended $5.54 per square foot would not solve the funding problems longer than perhaps two or three years. He suggested as a final solution that the developers be charged no more than $3.00 per square foot. Councilmember Steve Ford stated he has a different approach, one which would make General Obligation Bonds a strong part of the solution. He stated this would require standardizing school plans rather than creating a new architectural monument each time Minutes-06/1 8\96 -2- 07/24/96 City Council Minutes June 18, 1996 a school is built. He also asked that the District explain the rationale for including the areas covered by mitigation agreements that are located outside the City. Councilmember Stone said he must concur with the District's projections for the need to raise the full mitigation per single family residences but he does not concur with the reasoning behind waiting to go out for General Obligation bonds. Councilmember Birdsall stated her concerns are with the assessment being placed on the new home buyers. She also expressed concerns regarding the impacts of the Brulte Bill if it is passed. Mayor Lindemans summarized his feelings regarding the unfairness of the timing that will result in some new families will pay only $1.82 per square foot, based on the agreements already made and another family will pay $5.18 per square foot when both will be built at the same time. President Tooker asked the Governing Board to extend the meeting to 7:20 P.M.. The Board and the City Council each unanimously concurred. Dave Gallaher announced that the Brulte Bill had been denied by the Senate last night. He addressed Mayor Lindemans comments about the inequities of the assessments. He stated the increased assessments will cover the first homes to be built and the immediate needs for schools in those areas. Future school development will be through the passing of General Obligation bonds. In response to Councilmember Ford's comments as well as Councilmember Stone's about the concentration of students, by stating the development agreements can contain statements that the students within the area will have first priority to attend the neighborhood school. Board Member Rosie Vanderhaak stated all ten individuals at the table are charged with making very difficult decisions. She responded to Councilmember Ford's concern by stating the District currently is reusing architectural plans for schools. Board Member Patti Smith stated the City Council has already addressed the issue by adopting resolutions stating its wish to mirror the County's actions. She discussed the need for all citizens, elected officials and developers to assume the same responsibility for good schools. Board Member Shafer stated he believes the Board of Governors and the City Council really do not have any other options available. The General Obligation bonds cannot be relied upon to carry the full load for developing schools based on the areas' recent history of rejecting school bond issues. President Tooker observed that the numbers are not in dispute and that students are the highest priority in the City. She concurred that the steps that must be taken are not popular positions but the Board and their staff have a history of going after every grant and source of funds possible. She reiterated her commitment that these efforts will not stop if the development impact fees are set at the District's requested level. Minutes-06/1 8\96 -3- 07/24/96 City Council Minutes June 18, 1996 PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Doug Woelke, 27513 Jimson Circle, Temecula voiced his approval of full mitigation in order to fund schools. He said to do otherwise would create the probability of initiatives and/or bond issues not being passed. Preston Gibson, 13171 Spur Branch Circle, Corona, representing Brookfield /Davidson Homes spoke regarding the proposed mitigation fee. He stated it is the State's responsibility to provide children with schools, not the developers. He also discussed the negative impact those new home buyers would experience with increases in the mitigation fees. Mayor Lindemans moved that the Council and Board grant three (3) minutes apiece to the remaining speakers. The motion was seconded by Board Member Patti Smith and was unanimously carried. Robert Klotz, 600 Anton Blvd., Suite 1 1 00, Costa Mesa, representing the Murdy Ranch project explained that the Murdy Ranch project would receive the greatest impact of the proposed mitigation fee. He expressed the developers desire that any agreement that the City insists the developers' sign should also protect against legislative changes. Jerry Hobbs read the remainder of Mr. Woelke's prepared statement regarding the positive reasons for raising mitigation fees. Mr. Hobbs, speaking for himself, urged that the "differential" in the fee, not the total of the fee be made very clear. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Councilmember Stone, seconded by Councilmember Roberts to adjourn the City Council Meeting at 7:34 P.M., to a regular meeting to be held at 7:00 P.M. on June 25, 1996, at the Community Recreation Center 30875 Rancho Vista Way, Temecula, California.
