At the public hearing on developer (school facility) fees, staff explained why residential school facility fees differ from commercial/industrial rates and the role of the State Allocation Board in setting level thresholds. Trustees discussed the disparity in per‑square‑foot rates (transcript references $5.17/sq ft for residential Level 1 and $0.84/sq ft for commercial/industrial) and staff explained the statutory framework and that different fee levels are available based on local conditions. The board voted to adopt Resolution 13‑45 to increase statutory Level 1 school facility fees as presented.
Separately, the board considered a citizen advisory committee’s recommendation to name the Rio Linda High School baseball and softball complex for the late Bob Bastian. Trustees and community members spoke in support of the naming and the board approved the recommendation by motion (with roll-call votes recorded as 'aye').
What’s next: The district will post the updated fee schedule consistent with the adopted resolution and coordinate with the school and community on signage and dedicatory events for the newly named complex.
