RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CONTROLLER, OR THE CONTROLLER’S DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH CITIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS 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, school districts, 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, school districts and special districts; and

 

WHEREAS, such agreements were initially entered into in 1980 and the compensation schedules were subsequently amended in 2003 and 2009; and

 

WHEREAS, on May 11, 2010, this Board approved modification to the 2009 compensation schedules for the purpose of updating such schedules to, among other things, automatically adjust based on the County’s Labor Service Charge rate; and

 

WHEREAS, for the 2010-11 tax year, the County anticipates collecting special taxes, special assessments, and other special charges for 49 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 have 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, school districts 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.
