OF
CONTRA_ COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Opposing
Passage of Senate Bill RESOLUTION NUMBER 69/268
Number 582. }
;KMREAS Senate Bill Number 582 has been introduced in the
California State Legislature for the purpose of amending Section 2131
of the California Revenue and Taxation Code; and
WHEREAS Sections 2131 through 2134 of said code were added in
the California statutes of 1966 for the purpose of providing equity
in tax levies of inter-county districts among the counties which, in
whole or part, are components of such districts; and
WHEREAS the assessment ratios established for counties by the
California State Board of Equalization are used as the basis for
adjusting the tax levies of inter-county districts in the counties,
which in entirety or in part, comprise the territory of such districts ;
and
WHEREAS said assessment ratios are a valid basis for making such
adjustments and in fact said assessment ratios are used in computing
the `Collier Factor" for the purpose of distributing many millions of
dollars in state aid to school districts; and
WHEREAS the provisions of Senate Bill Number 582 would amend
Section 2131 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code so as to
allow tolerances in assessment ratios (15 per cent) and in effect
negate fully the tax equity purpose for which Sections 2131 through
2134 of said code were adopted;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY
