ATTESTED: February 7, 2017
David Twa,

BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. ACKNOWLEDGE that the public hearing for the determination of property tax administrative costs was incorrectly noticed for February 14, 2017 at 9:30 a.m.;
2. FIX March 7, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. for a public hearing on the determination of property tax administrative costs;

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

4. DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to prepare and publish the required legal notice.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The report details the property tax-related costs of the County in fiscal year 2015-2016 in order to determine the amount of cost recovery in fiscal year 2016-2017. The determination of the property tax administrative costs will occur at the hearing on March 7, 2017.

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.
