DATE: January 9, 1990 Cout'n .
SUBJECT: CONTRA COSTA WATER DISTRICT PROPERTY TAX LOSS REIMBURSEMENT FOR
BYRON, EAST DIABLO AND TASSAJARA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICTS
Specific. Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute agreements with the
Contra Costa Water District to reimburse the Byron, East Diablo and
Tassajara Fire Protection Districts for property tax revenue losses
resulting from annexation of territory to the Water District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Execution of the agreements will result in the subject fire districts
receiving reimbursement for lost property tax revenues in varying amounts.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Contra Costa Water District, in connection with its Los Vaqueros
Project, has acquired and will continue to acquire and annex territory in
East Contra Costa County. Some of the territory acquired and annexed by
the Water District is within the boundaries of the Byron, East Diablo or
Tassajara Fire Protection Districts. The territory annexed to the Water
District becomes public property which is exempt from property taxes. To
the extent that the annexed territory is within the boundaries of the fire
districts the districts will experience property tax revenue losses.
In view of this revenue loss to the fire districts and in an effort to
mitigate any adverse impact on the fire districts related to revenue
losses, the Water District has proposed to identify fire district revenue
losses and reimburse said districts for those losses. Accordingly, the
subject agreements providing for property tax reimbursement were prepared
by the Water District with the involvement of the fire districts and have
been reviewed and approved by County Counsel.
