Fees are typically paid to the school district as a condition of a property developer or owner obtaining a building permit from the city for a construction project. Pursuant to the statutory requirements, the District prepares an Annual and Five-Year Reportable Fees Report. For the period of July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023, $4,443,114.09 reportable fees were collected. The fund balance, as of June 30, 2023, for Developer Fees collected was $2,713,774.15. Current project expenses and future expenses associated with this fund include but may not be limited to the following Facility Master Plan projects: Avalon HVAC, Emerson ES HVAC, and Gompers ES HVAC.
