There were no objections. Councilman Knudsen described meetings of School Board Members and Chair School, man, Dr. Boyson, school staff members, and school attorneys together with Impaction himself, Councilman Elliott, City Manager Christiansen, and City Attorneys to try to solve the school dilemma. He reiterated that the Council has agreed with the School Board on the matter of impaction and have "accepted the School Board's words as to what they would accept to mitigate the impaction." Mr. Knudsen stated that to implement the Council's action of December 31, Resolution 1979, and to make it possible for the City to issue building permits, No. 3695 Resolution No. 3645 has been developed. He then read the resolution in School full and explained the manner in which builders would pay a $1.00 per Construction square foot School Construction Fee for residential construction to the Fees School Districkand receive "a slip" from the schools stating that the builder has mitigated the situation, and then would return to the City to apply for a building permit. Mr. Knudsen stated that the School District would basically collect, re- tain, and use the fees as they saw fit, adding that he felt there would be the moral obligation to use the funds to mitigate the impaction. Mr. Knudsen then moved for adoption of Resolution No. 3645; his motion was seconded by Councilman Riordan "for discussion purposes." Mr. Robert Wagner stated that this resolution does not coincide with the Council's motion passed on December 31; that at that time Council- stated it would set fees and submit the matter of impaction to the public at the April election. "I think it was purely your intent at that time to pre- sont to the public, via the vehicle of the City Council, the matter of whether the schools are impacted or not; I do not see that this resolutic in any way fulfills the motion that was agreed upon at that time. l'urthei I fool the public is entitled to make this decision." In reply, Councilman Knudsen agreed that was a part of his motion, and added that in December it was his hope that the funds could be taken now, 1-15-8t1 MINUTES (Continued) be escrowed, and returned to the builder in the event the measure did not> carry. Iie stated that the school counsel pointed out that those things "could not really happen" and furthermore, "they threatened us with a laws suit if we didn't get something going that was sati-sfactory to them, and we have a terrible legal problem created by Proposition 'R' , State law known as Senate Bill 201 and other factors of state law," The School Board has indicated that they would be prepared, particularly their legal counsel, "to tackle us on several legal points and so this resolu- tion was in acquiescence to their demands, in essence." Mr. Wagner replied that he understood the Council's situation, but that as a voter and citizen of Redlands, he would like the Council_ to give him the right, at the ballot box, to determine and to tell the School District that they are not utilizing their facilities and their funds for the best's interest: of the citizens of this community. lie spoke also of the greatly! added cost passed onto the home-buyer and financed for years at increas- ingly high interest. He repeated that he believed it was Council's duty j to provide the general public with the opportunity to make this deter- mination. Councilman Riordan questioned the validity of the impaction measure on the City ballot in the event the County appeal was upheld. Mr. James Coffin of C-Y Development stated that he felt the schools will be impacted in time, but are not at this time and mentioned an overall decline in school enrollment. in California. He added that he opposed. giving the School District the right "to hold homes .in ransom." Also speaking briefly was Attorney Lee H. Durst, representing Citerion Development, Inc. who presented a five-page letter to Council and spoke on renewal permits; Mrs. Ingrid Mack who expressed concern that funds raised within the City would be used for schools principally serving County and Loma Linda residents; School Board President terry Dyke who stated that the funds collected by the Schools "will be used to mitigate s and will not be returned."

Councilman DeMir.jyn stated he would be unable to attend, but had no objection to the meeting as he agreed in essence.
