BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE the 2015-2016 report of the Auditor-Controller that contains the property tax-related costs of the Assessor, Tax Collector, Auditor and Assessment Appeals Board for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, as required by Resolution No. 97/129;

FIX March 1, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. for a public hearing on the determination of property tax administrative costs;

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The report details the property tax-related costs of the County in fiscal year 2014-2015 in order to determine the amount of cost recovery in fiscal year 2015-2016. The determination of the property tax administrative costs will occur at the hearing on March 1, 2016.

BACKGROUND:

In 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 97/129 which provides procedures for property tax administrative cost recovery. The recommended actions are necessary for implementation of Resolution No. 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.
