Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to approve a zero property tax transfer for the proposed Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Sphere of Influence amendment and annexation of parcels in the Yankee Point and Hidden Hills areas.
SUMMARY:
The Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has received a proposal for a sphere of influence amendment and annexation of various parcels into the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. The recommended zero property tax transfer must be approved prior to LAFCO determining the application complete. Attached for the Board’s consideration is the recommended zero property tax transfer resolution and maps showing the locations of the various affected properties.
DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County LAFCO has received a proposal involving a sphere of influence amendment and annexation to the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District of various parcels in the Yankee Point and Hidden Hills areas.
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 requires a county Board of Supervisors to determine an appropriate tax transfer for all jurisdictional changes of organization occurring within the county which could affect the service responsibility of any special district. Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99(b)(6), the Executive Officer of LAFCO shall not issue a Certificate of Filing (Government Code Section 56828) for a change of organization until an exchange of property tax revenue is negotiated.
On April 29, 1980, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors approved and adopted a formula and policies for determining the appropriate property tax transfer resulting from jurisdictional changes involving special districts (Resolution No. 80-249). These policies provide that no property tax transfers are to occur for annexations to service and utility-type districts such as the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. The recommended Board of Supervisors action will memorialize the fact that no property tax will be exchanged in the annexation of the above areas into the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEME NT:
The tax transfer resolution has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
FINANCING:
There is no impact on the General Fund.
