i'm here to tell you that that late 2012 and performed the 2003, 2006 and 11 bond programs. the auditor has made several presentations to the bond oversight committee and the members of the committee are very pleased to tell the board for the 7th consecutive year there were no negative finding f to the report. at the 2013 oversight committee we unanimously passed the ifthsdz of the 2012 bond audit

public speakers but i think i can say to the whole board thank you we're pleased. thank you >> we're going to have to keep coming and ask any questions so long as there's no finding we're happy to say yeah. we'll move on to item l. the next two items go together. i'm going to call the public hearing of the impact fees to be collected for industrial development in accordance with the group. may i hear a motion and a second to the board of education to increase statutory fees exposed on commercial and kaeblg

projects >> so moved. second >> thank you, no public speakers mr. golden please read the recommendation. >> okay. i'll give you some brief history commissioners. the california education code allows school districts under certain circumstances to collect developer impact fees and those impact fees whether there are in the central valley or in a highly yourized area or part of los angeles are essentially used to expand to billed to modernize our schools as a consequence of construction and growth. in order to assess those fees the districts has to make

certain findings and it commissioned an independent consultant to look at the demographics and trends and the historical data and the rate he is we charged previously and to come to a determination that the school district can't only charge the maximize charges to the state can they raise their rates or hold constant. now this is a highly restricted fund so this fund cannot be used for teachers are books p this is a facility rated fund that is used to builds those expanding programs apart caused by growth.

and i mentioned in my report previously sent to you under separate cover we build the new tech building and we constructed the entire brand new betsy middle school with the developer fees. we've district wide expanded the hearing impaired program using those funds. it's played an important role how we modernize. in 2008 we commissions a study to see if we account raise our fees and we could. the superintendent at the time garcia and staff determined at the height of the greatest

recession raising the rates wasn't the best idea. several years have now gone but if i have looked at the chronic the sunday edition of the chronic two weeks you would have seen the chronic it's comploerd and we apart with that we determined it was time to reexamine that study and we commissions the group to do that. mr. larson is here from the group to answer any questions. and out of that study came the findings yes. there's growth in san francisco that warrants raising the rates not to the

full amount allowed you currently but to a higher amount then we're assessing. it let's us raise the residential fee $0.62. and it will be able us to raise the rate on arrangement, research and hospitals. each one of those categories has a specified rate that goes up. it will helps us do a lot more of the things we need to do. it's the time to do that. so with that there is is special order of business in our package and tied to the special order of business is a resolution we need

this board to officially passed. this was noticed in the newspapers for several weeks. a copy of the report has been for the public to review. so there's a specified number of steps and the legal office has been a great help. i want to thank mr. davis and his team for helping us as well. i'll answer any questions. my colleague is more experienced than i >> i actually need you to read the action on page 1 for the record. >> i can do that - >> so actually, it needs to be there ever well, he didn't have

to read the whole thing. >> okay there be is resolved point board of education does hereby resolve that the board accepts and adopts the study section 2 that the board finds if the statutory fees so to fund the additional fund facilities to serve the students by that fee - >> hold on. >> on the summary - requested action that the board of

education of the san francisco unified school district what queen a public hearing and making adjustments to the impact fee rates for to be collected for the industrial and the group study dated 2013. >> thank you, mr. golden. any questions or comments from board members? >> i want to thank you both and all the staff involved in and the legal office. i want to for the public make a couple of comments in california we've moved away from the idea when you've developed property we don't - we're not in a position although there's no neighborhood being built it's

not the kind of development where a new community was built if we're in that position the fees would be more inadequate than they have been. contrary to where a developer was required to build a school. this developer scheme is one which resulted - which based on a lot of conflicts has been developed over minded and actually there's a lot of lawsuits and jurisdiction to e related to how we got here. i appreciate we have the ability in someway to mitigate the cost of the schools development and that we are addressing the very low rate we've had up until now. i have one question.

we've had no response in the public notice or any other venue from organized property owners in san francisco? >> no. >> we've all knocking wood up here. >> i'd like to ask on an not to my knowledge basis maybe this is a question for lee how much do we recover on annual fees and what you say the ballpark for those annual increases? >> first part of the question. historically i would say over the last 10 years we were collecting between 6 and $8 million a year in developer fees. mostly from residential construction because the rates for the hospital and some of the

industrial is actually consideringly lower and because it's biggest impact is in industrial units t is with children involved. during 2008 to 2011 it dipped to 2.8 and it was clearly a bar remote if no one was paying the school district impact fees no one was taking out a building permit. this year we see what we hope will be a spike back up to $6 million and we hope next week year will be higher. because there were plenty of promotions in the cue which is

classroom reporter projects for mod last year's there are a wide range of project we can use the money for. the second part of the question is really defend upon how big a hospital was built in general, i think it's going to generate another two or $300,000. it's $0.02 per square feet it seems small but if you're building a huge office tower it adds up. but districts statewide are doing this as the ed code allows the rates to go up.

commissioner >> i have a question under it's $2. $2. $2.95 per square feet but for new residential development using for citizen seniors i'm wondering does the law permit us to have this voter right for all housing not just senior citizen housing. >> senior housing is paying the commercial industrial rate. there's a small handful of school district that have adapted the school rates for policy but that's not specifically called 40 for in the ed code

>> so if the ed code that prevents us from having the code in the assessment. >> that's true there's nothing in the permissible code. >> so just where we're ♪ san francisco because of redevelopment money i suggest we add for affordable housing that we would do the lower rate for affordable housing so this lower rate is only for the residential development for housing for senior citizens. so all other - so i'm trying to understand all the other development listed under here is a listings of how much it is it

seems like hotels and molts get a lower rate and retail and certifies research and development and where house and hospitals building humanely hospital here in san francisco is this the highest rate we can charge for hotels and molts and the hospitals like i'm wondering can he raises some of these rates and can we put in an exempt - can we add affordable housing subsection b >> first there's a maximum

that's currently $0.51 for new construction that covers all the categories except for resident. with resident it's pretty simple to understand you build a new home you have to have room in the schools for new students. because you're talking about increased employment opportunities that are producing new housing who are mitigating their impacts through the housing accompanying. you have parents who will transfer their students and that goes into that calculation but the fees for the industrial

categories are the highest we can justify given the methodology and the nexus system between the construction and impact it creates. on the affordable housing the word of causation i would give it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. before you put that term into the policy you want to have a good definition of what qualifies as affordable housing. if i have people not under the age of 18 years of age the code is clear open senior citizen housing but we have to protect the district that something is

affordable housing that doesn't meet the definitions you want to meet >> however, i would push back on the impact and about - there is this new type of development in san francisco assistant district attorney have an adverse impact on the students of san francisco because it displaced their families particularly their families in the southeast sector of san francisco. so to balance that i would say i would be willing to look at willing to look at amendment section 5 subsection b maybe do some research what could be a definition of affordable housing and an agreement that would also give that developer of

affordable housing for particular families in san francisco because that's whom we serve the same rate. it would be the sameate as the hotel or molt grant it would be a lower rate marathon hospital but actually, it's the same rate as a hotel or molt gets. i'm wondering if we could investigate that maybe i can ask for general council. >> it's not too late bus it's a new as an calculation. >> the direct influence it will have on our ability to build neighborhood. if we wanted to explore exempting affordable
