(1) That conditions of overcrowding exist in one or more
attendance areas within the district that will impair the normal
functioning of educational programs, including the reason for the
existence of those conditions.
(2) That all reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of
overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing
those conditions exist.
(b) (1) The notice of findings sent to the city or county pursuant
to subdivision (a) shall specify the mitigation measures considered

days after the date of receipt by the city or county. The city
council or board of supervisors shall either concur or not concur in
the notice of findings within 61 days to 150 days after the date of
receipt of the findings. The city council or board of supervisors may
extend the period to concur or not to concur for one 30-day period.
The failure of the city council or board of supervisors to either
concur or not concur within the time period prescribed in this
subdivision shall not be deemed as an act of concurrence in the
notice of findings by the council or board.

all of the materials required by this section are completed and
filed by the school district with the city council or board of
supervisors.
