STRONG ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR INSTRUCTION FEBRUARY 01, 1989 FOR STUDENT SERVICES Board of Supervisors San Joaquin County 222 E. Weber Street Stockton, California 95202 Subject : Request for Action Residential Development/School Financing BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: On January 24, 1989, the Board of Trustees of the Tracy Joint Union High School District requested, by unanimous vote, that the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors take action to ensure that residential development does not continue to occur within the District boundaries until adequate financing is available to fund the school facilities needed as a result of the new development . The Board of Supervisors could, for example, direct that all new residential divisions of land be conditioned in such a way that no building permits can be issued until adequate school financing is available . The developers and school districts effected will then be able to develop the necessary school financing program so that the projects may proceed. Approximately three years ago a similar request was submitted to, and accepted by, the City Council of the City of Tracy. Because of the City' s support, the Tracy School Districts were able to form a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) . The CFD ensures that all new residential development within the City limits of Tracy is paying a tax for school facilities that is adequate to enable schools to be built as needed to accommodate the new residential growth. Without the support of the City, the CFD that is presently in place could not have been formed. In anticipation of the Board of Supervisors support on this request the School Districts have already begun to take initial steps in establishing a CFD to encompass the known developing properties in the unincorporated portions of our Districts . Full implementation of the CFD will, however, take the support of the Board of Supervisors through the "ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN"
