SAPFO Implementation Timeline and Decision Points <br /> For the past several years, the governing boards of the County, Towns, and school systems <br /> have been discussing the possible adoption of a Schools Adequate Public Facilities system. As <br /> noted in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), that reflects the recognition of the need to <br /> work together to ensure that new growth within the County's two school districts occurs at a <br /> pace that allows Orange County and the school districts to provide adequate school facilities to <br /> serve the children within new developments. It is also important to continue to maintain a <br /> Capital Investment Plan (CIP) that is financially feasible and synchronized with historical growth <br /> patterns. Staff will provide a brief review of an MOU Decision Matrix which lays out the major <br /> decision points for each jurisdiction that will consider implementation of the MOU and <br /> Ordinance, and of a timeline that could lead to implementation of a Schools Adequate Public <br /> Facilities system by February 15, 2003. Staff and attorneys will be available to review and <br /> respond to questions elected officials may have about information contained in the following <br /> attachments. <br /> Attachment la Schools Adequate Public Facilities Memorandum of Understanding <br /> Attachment lb Exhibit A — Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance <br /> Attachment 1 c Decision Matrix of MOU Elements <br /> Attachment Id Schools Adequate Public Facilities MOU and Ordinance Possible <br /> Implementation Timeline <br />
