As noted in the MOU, that reflects the recognition of the need to work <br /> together to ensure that new growth within the County's two school districts occurs at a pace that <br /> allows Orange County and the school districts to provide adequate school facilities to serve the <br /> children within new developments. It is also important to continue to maintain a Capital <br /> Investment Plan (CIP) that is financially feasible and synchronized with historical growth <br /> patterns. <br /> Staff have compiled a variety of background documents, most of which the Board has seen <br /> before, to help focus discussion at this work session. Of particular import is the MOU Decision <br /> Matrix, which the Planning Director will use to explain the major decision points for each <br /> jurisdiction that will consider implementation of the MOU and Ordinance. Staff will be available <br /> to review and respond to questions Commissioners may have about information contained in <br /> the following list of attachments. <br /> Attachment 1 a Schools Adequate Public Facilities Memorandum of Understanding <br /> Attachment 1 b Exhibit A— Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance <br /> Attachment 1 c Decision Matrix of MOU Elements <br /> Attachment 1d Schools Adequate Public Facilities MOU and Ordinance Possible <br /> Implementation Timeline <br /> Attachment 1 e Schools Adequate Public Facilities Status of MOU and Ordinance <br /> Attachment 1f Flowchart— Procedure for Execution of School APFO <br /> Attachment 1g Tables — Schools APFO — Summary of Student Capacity Information <br />
