OVERVIEW Since both school districts in Orange County are experiencing high growth and the school districts have an objective of requiring new growth to pay its fair shaze of school capital facilities cost, there is a need to update the public school student generation rates for each district and also to recalibrate and update the school impact fee to reflect the most appropriate methodologies and latest data and still be legally defensible. It is also important that as part of the work effort there be a cash flow analysis for each district to show the amount, if any, of funding shortfalls for which each district and/or the County will be responsible. IV. APPROACH There are several components to the overall approach. One is the quality control and the other is technical. These are discussed in turn. 1. ualit Control. We believe a major reason for our national reputation for fiscal analysis and impact fees and other revenue exactions is the quality control approach to our work products. We bring a "devil's advocate" approach to this assignment. That is, we will evaluate the information and data in terms of being supportable and sustainable. Another part of the quality control consideration is our national expertise in the areas of financial analysis and economics, capital improvement planning, revenue strategies, land use, demographics, growth policy analysis and land use law.
