Adoption of Level I Level II Developer Fees

The Clovis Unified School District is implementing Level II developer fees to generate funding for the construction and reconstruction of school facilities within its boundaries, as authorized under Education Code 17620 and Government Code 65995.5 and 65995.6. These fees are levied against new construction projects to ensure that growth contributes to the necessary infrastructure investments required to accommodate increased student enrollment. The policy establishes a structured fee schedule tied to development activity, ensuring equitable financial responsibility from builders and developers while aligning with state mandates for school facility funding. The fees are specifically designated to support capital improvements, enhancing the district’s capacity to provide safe, modern, and adequate learning environments. The initiative is managed by the district’s Administrative Services department, with Michael Johnston, Associate Superintendent, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The policy was officially posted for public awareness on May 26, 2026, as a forecasted action, indicating its planned implementation in the near future. Although no solicitation number or NAICS code is assigned, the action falls under the broader legal framework governing development fees in California, ensuring compliance with state law regarding fee structure, notice, and use of proceeds. All funds collected are legally restricted to school facility purposes, with transparency and accountability required in their expenditure. The plan underscores the district’s proactive approach to managing growth through responsible fiscal planning and public infrastructure investment.
