______________________________________________________________

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 assessments, special taxes, and sewer service charges 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, the Board of Supervisors previously authorized the Controller's Office to seek a modification of the compensation schedule from cities and special districts; and

WHEREAS, all of the cities and special districts have now responded to the County's request to modify the compensation schedule and have agreed to the proposed modifications.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT:

The County shall modify the compensation schedule set forth in paragraph (6) of the Agreements for Compensation to County of San Mateo for Collection of Special Assessments, Special Taxes and Sewer Services Charges 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.

(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.
