Adopt a Resolution to approve a Zero Property Tax Transfer for the proposed Aromas Water District Annexation of two parcels in the San Juan Road and Dunbarton Road areas of North Monterey County (APN 141-041-007 and 141-011-006).
Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to approve a Zero Property Tax Transfer for the proposed Aromas Water District Annexation of two parcels in the San Juan Road and Dunbarton Road areas of North Monterey County (APN 141-041-007 and 141-011-006).
SUMMARY:
The Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has received an application for annexation of two parcels to the Aromas Water District in the areas of San Juan and Dunbarton Road. The recommended zero property tax transfer must be approved as part of the annexation process. Attached for the Board’s consideration is the recommended zero tax transfer resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County LAFCO has received a proposal involving an annexation of two parcels to the Aromas Water District in the San Juan Road and Dunbarton Road areas. Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 requires the 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 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 Board of Supervisors approved and adopted a formula and policies for determining property tax transfer resulting from jurisdictional changes involving special districts (Resolution No. 80-249). These policies provide that no property tax is to be transferred for annexations to service and utility-type districts such as the Aromas Water District involved in this annexation.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The zero property tax transfer resolution has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
FINANCING:
The proposed zero property tax transfer will not result in a transfer of property tax from any agency to the district involved in this annexation.
