Board adopts developer fee study, sets $5.17 per square foot and 60/40 split
Summary
The Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary board adopted Resolution 25-072024 approving a developer fee study that sets a $5.17 per-square-foot fee, allocates roughly $3.10/sq ft to elementary districts under a 60/40 split and authorizes a 60-day implementation timeline tied to county permitting.
The board unanimously approved Resolution 25-072024, adopting a developer fee study that sets the district's fee at $5.17 per square foot and recommends a 60/40 split with the partner high-school district.
A district presenter explained how the study allocates roughly $3.10 per square foot for elementary district projects and about $0.84 per square foot for commercial projects. "It came out to $5.17," the presenter said, noting the fee applies not only to new construction but also to renovation and modernization projects. The presenter added the districts agreed to collect fees separately and cross-check county permit lists quarterly.
Board members asked about fairness between residential and commercial rates and how the fees will appear on county permits. The presenter said the board has advertised the hearings twice and that, if the resolution stands, the increases may be implemented 60 days after adoption when the county is notified; the presenter noted that date would be April 14 under the timeline presented. The board took roll call and recorded unanimous approval.
The action means the district can begin coordinating with the county permit office and other districts to ensure the new rates are applied to future permits and to use the additional revenues for facilities needs such as portable classrooms and modernization projects.
