RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CONTROLLER, OR THE CONTROLLER’S DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH CITIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPENSATING THE COUNTY FOR THE COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES
|
______________________________________________________________
|
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 currently collects certain special taxes, special assessments, and other special charges through the countywide property tax bill and, in exchange for collecting such amounts, the County is compensated pursuant to agreements with each of the affected cities and special districts; and
|
|
WHEREAS, such agreements were initially entered into in 1980 and the compensation schedules were subsequently amended in 2003; and
|
|
WHEREAS, on April 28, 2009, this Board approved modification to the 2003 compensation schedules for the purpose of updating such schedules to better reflect the collection costs incurred by the County; and
|
|
WHEREAS, in light of the fact that the initial agreements are 28 years old, it would be administratively beneficial to adopt new agreements instead of further amending the original agreements as was done in 2003; and
|
|
WHEREAS, for the 2009-10 tax year, the County anticipates collecting special taxes, special assessments, and other special charges for 48 taxing entities pursuant to 55 agreements; and
|
|
WHEREAS, although some of the agreements will result in revenue to the County in excess of $100,000 over the course of their term which would typically require Board approval and execution, for the purposes of administrative efficiency, the Controller has requested the Board’s authorization to execute all of the agreements, which shall be in substantially the form submitted herewith and which has been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel’s office.
|
|
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT the Controller, or the Controller’s designee, is hereby authorized to execute agreements with cities and special districts, in substantially the form submitted herewith, for the purpose of compensating the County for the collection of special taxes, special assessments, and other special charges.
