Attachment 4 ~a Steps in Update Process and Potential Timeline Updating the student generation rates to the levels determined by this recent study would affect the CAPS (Certificate of Adequate Public Schools) system that is part of the SAPFO (Schools ,Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance) process. Per Section 1.d of the SAPFO Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the BOCC "may change the projected student membership growth rate, the methodology used to determine this rate, or the student generation rate if the Board concludes that such a change is necessary to predict growth more accurately. Before making any such change, the Board shall receive and consider the recommendation of a staff committee consisting of the planning directors of the Town(s) and the County and a representative of the School District appointed by the Superintendent." Staff note: the staff committee referred to above is the SAPFOTAC (Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance technical Advisory Committee). Additionally, the BOCC "shall provide an opportunity for those governing Boards to comment on the recommendation." Finally, the BOCC shall inform the other parties to the MOU "prior to February 1St in any year in which such change is intended to become effective what change was made and why it was necessary." Although related, SAPFO and the student generation rates used in SAPFO processes are separate issues from the Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance. Updating the Education Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance (EFIFO) would require that proposed amendments be brought forward for adoption consideration at a later date. Finalization of the draft technical reports needs to occur prior to any amendments to the EFIFO. As was done when the impact fees were updated in 2001 (adopted at 56% of the Maximum Supportable Impact Fee [MSIF] in OCS and 60% MSIF in CHCCS), the BOCC has the discretion to adopt fee levels at less than 100% of the Maximum Supportable Impact Fee. The following progression illustrates the potential steps in the process of finalizing the draft technical reports, and updating the student generation rates and Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance:
