RESOLUTION APPROVING THE MODIFICATION OF THE COMPENSATION SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENTS FOR COMPENSATION TO COUNTY OF SAN MATEO FOR COLLECTION OF SPECIAL CHARGES WITH CITIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010/11

______________________________________________________________

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 charges through the countywide property tax bill and, in exchange for collecting such special charges, the County is compensated pursuant to agreements with each of the affected cities and special districts; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors previously updated the compensation schedule for said agreements for these services prior to FY 2009/10, prior to which time the schedules had only been adjusted twice since 1980; and

WHEREAS, the Office of the Controller recommends that this Board of Supervisors approve the Controller’s proposed modifications to the compensation schedule in order to update such schedules to recover a portion of the County’s increasing processing costs with such modifications hereafter to automatically adjust based on changes, if any, to the County’s Labor Service Charge rate announced by the County Manager’s Office in connection with the County’s budgeting process; and

WHEREAS, per the terms of the current agreements, the Office of the Controller notified each of the affected cities and special districts on March 24, 2010, of proposed modifications to the County’s compensation schedule.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT:

The proposed modifications to the compensation schedule in the Agreements as set forth below is hereby approved:

$1.35 per parcel for each special charge to be collected, if submitted in electronic format (diskette, CD, magnetic tape, or electronic mail), unless the aggregate amount of the fees to be paid pursuant to this subsection (a) exceeds 5% of total special charges collected by the County on behalf of [Name of City or Special District] pursuant to this Agreement, in which case [Name of City or Special District] agrees that, as payment pursuant to this subsection, it will pay the County an amount equal to 5% of such total special charges collected by the County. The parties further agree that the “per parcel” fee set forth above shall be subject to a percentage increase or decrease each fiscal year in accordance with the annual change in the County Labor Service Charge rate announced by the County Manager’s Office in connection with the County’s budgeting process.

$25 for each correction submitted by [Name of City or Special District] to the tax roll after the tax roll has been prepared to the extent such corrections are necessary due to errors in the proofs approved by [Name of City or Special District] prior to August 10th.

Any city or special district, whose fees amount to $10.00 or less, will be waived due to its immaterial fiscal impact.
