Gordon <br />.FROM: Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Planning Director <br />DATE: October 12, 2000 <br />SUB.TECT: SAPFO <br />Tl~e following responses track the outline in the attached memo from Commissioner Gordon. These <br />issues were discussed and responses formulated by Geoffrey Gledhill and I. <br />Additional Information <br />Please send the "Talking Points" mentioned in the agenda abstract. Also, please send the charts <br />presented at a previous meeting by Craig Benedict that show costs associated with different levels <br />of school seats added each year. I believe these charts show, for example, that an additiona1450 <br />students per year would .cost $14.5 million a year. (This is the information that I asked John Link <br />about on September 25.) <br />The "Talking Points" are attached in the fore: of the letter dated 9/25/00 from Geo,,(fi-ey Gledhill, <br />County Attorney. <br />The "Charts"are attached from previous docarments presented to the Schools and Land Use <br />Coarncil and Assembly of Governments by Craig N. Benedict, County Planning Director that note <br />potential fiscal impacts based on student projections that are agreed upon to reflect 10 year <br />historical patterns with annual updates to create a "moving average" (i.e. a 1990-2000 trend will <br />be updated to delete 1990 and add 2001 thereby developing a 1991 to 2001 trend for the next ten <br />years of projections). <br />II. Comments <br />A. The "Financial Impact" section of the agenda abstract states that the fiscal impact of the <br />adoption and implementation of a Schools APFO cannot be clearly articulated at this <br />time. <br />If that is true, then we must do mare work because it is essential that the fiscal impact be <br />clearly articulated. <br />z <br />MEMORANDUM <br />INCORPORATING QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONER ALICE GORDON AND <br />ANSWERS FROM CRAIG BENEDICT <br />
