BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE the 2010-11 report of the Auditor-Controller that contains the property tax-related costs of the Assessor, Tax Collector, Auditor and Assessment Appeals Board for the 2009-10 fiscal year, as required by Resolution 97/129.

FIX March 1, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. for a public hearing on the determination of property tax administrative costs.

DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to notify affected local jurisdictions of the public hearing.

DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to prepare and publish the required legal notice and make supporting documentation available for public inspection.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The report details the property tax-related costs of the County in fiscal year 2009-10 in order to determine the amount of cost recovery in fiscal year 2010-11. The determination of the property tax administrative costs will occur at the hearing on March 1, 2011.

BACKGROUND:

In 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 97/129 which provides procedures for property tax administrative cost recovery. The recommended actions are necessary for implementation of Resolution 97/129 for the current fiscal year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the hearing is not set to consider and adopt the finding of property tax costs, the costs cannot be recovered, resulting in a loss of General Fund revenue in the current fiscal year.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
