SUBJECT: RECOVERY OF COSTS OF MAINTAINING USE CODES
FOR SPECIAL TAXES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION vooddr
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Auditor-Controller to make a deduction from special tax proceeds at the rate of
$0.09 per special assessment and credit that amount to the Assessor's account 1600-9607,
pursuant to Board Resolution 84/332.
FISCAL_ IMPACT:
This action would allow the County to recover costs incurred in collecting special taxes on
behalf of local agencies.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Assessor has developed and attempted to maintain parcel use codes for the internal
use of his office and is not required to maintain such codes for other purposes. Local
agencies imposing special taxes have made use of the parcel use codes in collecting special
taxes. Government Code sections 50077 (b) and 53978 (d) authorize the County to deduct
from special tax proceeds its reasonable costs incurred in collecting special taxes on behalf
of local agencies.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Denial of this action would prevent the County from recovering its costs incurred in collecting
special taxes on behalf of local agencies.
