SUBJECT; Legislation AB 2817 (O' Connell) '�•��7
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a position of support for AB 2817 by Assemblyman O' Connell if
the author is ,willing to amend the bill to include Contra Costa
County.
BACKGROUND:
As the Board is aware, SB 709 as enacted, requires counties having
within their boundaries cities defined as no and low property tax
cities to transfer to such cities a portion of the County' s
property tax. Assemblyman O' Connell has introduced AB 2817 . This
bill is designed to protect Ventura County from the transfer. of
property taxes. The bill provides that in any county where the
population of the no and low property tax cities exceeds 350 of the
total county population the state must reimburse the county in full
for the amount of property tax which is transferred to the cities
pursuant to SB 709. Ventura County will apparently be the only
county affected by this provision. Preliminary data indicates that
in Contra . Costa County the no and low property tax cities '
population equals 240 of the total county population.
It is therefore recommended that the Board of Supervisors indicate
to Assemblyman O' Connell their interest in having him amend AB 2817
to a figure of 230 or less. At this level only Ventura and Contra
Costa Counties would. be included. If Mr. O' Connell is willing to
amend his bill in this way, the Board of Supervisors should
indicate its willingness to publicly support AB 2817 and dedicate
the County' s resources to its passage.
