SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SCA 19 (Bergeson)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIl11NDATION
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of SCA 19 by Senator Bergeson which
would repeal the requirement in the State Constitution that any
sharing of sales tax revenue between the County and cities be
approved by the voters.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, while it is possible for the County and any
city to negotiate a sharing of sales tax revenue upon annexation
of property or for any other reason, the State Constitution
requires that before any such agreements become operative they
must be confirmed by the voters. This has the effect of making
it extremely difficult and time-consuming to include the sharing
of sales tax revenue as one element in an annexation agreement.
Senator Marian Bergeson has introduced Senate Constitutional
Amendment (SCA) 19 which would simply repeal the requirement that
these agreements be approved by the voters before they become
operative.
The passage of SCA 19 and its approval by the voters would make
it practical to include in annexation discussions the sharing of
sales tax revenue on a basis other than is currently required by
law. This additional flexibility would provide another option
for discussion with a city when an annexation or other
development related issue comes up for discussion. As a result
it is recommended that the Board of Supervisors indicate its
support of SAC 19.
