RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE COMPENSATION SCHEDULE FOR THE COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES BY MEANS OF THE COUNTYWIDE PROPERTY TAX BILL
|
______________________________________________________________
|
RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that
|
|
WHEREAS, as a service to cities and special districts, the County collects certain special taxes through the countywide property tax bill; and
|
|
WHEREAS, the last time the Board of Supervisors updated the fee schedule for these services was in 1980; and
|
|
WHEREAS, according to California Code 50077(b), if the county on behalf of the city, or district collects special taxes, the county may deduct its reasonable costs incurred for the service before remittal of the balance to the city or special district; and
|
|
WHEREAS, an analysis of the costs to provide this service was conducted and an updated fee schedule was created to recover County costs; and
|
|
WHEREAS, we recommend that this Board of Supervisors update fees for collecting special taxes to cover the current costs for providing this service; and
|
|
WHEREAS, per the terms of the current agreement, unless either party notifies the other of a proposed modification within ninety (90) days of the close of the fiscal year, the contract will automatically renew under the current compensation schedule; therefore, for a fee increase to apply in fiscal year 2003-04, action must be taken before March 30, 2003.
|
|
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT:
|
1. Notice shall be provided to cities and special districts that the Agreement for Compensation to County of San Mateo for Collection of Special Assessment Charges (the “Agreement for Compensation”) will not automatically renew on the same terms and conditions for the next fiscal year; and
2. The County shall seek mutual agreement from cities and special districts to modify the compensation schedule set forth in paragraph (6) of the Agreement for Compensation as follows:
(a) $1.25 per transaction if submitted in electronic format (diskette, CD, magnetic tape, or electronic mail), unless fees collected is 5% or more of total charges, in which the rate will remain at $.30 per transaction.
(b) $1.75 per transaction if submitted in hardcopy. Beginning fiscal year 2003-04, all transactions from cities and special districts will be required to be submitted in electronic format.
(c) $25 per transaction for each correction after the tax roll has been prepared.
(d) Any city or special district, whose fees amount to $10.00 or less, will be waived due to its immaterial fiscal impact.
This resolution shall take into effect immediately upon its adoption.
