TING EXISTING TAX AND ESTABLISHING A TAX IN
PLACE THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES RESOLVES
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to Government Code Section
43073, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,
a city encompassed entirely within the territory of the
hereinafter specified district, hereby elects to pay to the
Los Angeles Consolidated Fire Protection District an amount
of money equal to the amount said District would derive from
the imposition of its tax on all property within the incor-
porated limits of the city. Such payment shall be in lieu of
the imposition of said District' s tax on property within the
boundaries of the City.
Section 2. Pursuant to Government Code Section
43073, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,
in order to generate the funds necessary to make the payment
referred to in Section 1 of this Resolution, hereby establishes
a city tax rate for fiscal year 1978-79 in the amount equal to
the amount of the rate set by the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Los Angeles for the Los Angeles County Consolidated
Fire Protection District for the 1978-79 fiscal year. The
revenue from such tax shall be utilized solely for the payment
described in Section 1 hereof.
Section 3. The Council of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes hereby requests that the County Tax Collector list the
Los Angeles County Consolidated Fire Protection District on
the property tax bill or on an accompanying statement, clearly
indicating that the city has elected to include the cost of the
special district service in a city tax rate rather than have
the District impose the tax. This Resolution shall serve as
direction and authorization to the Los Angeles County Auditor-
Controller to transfer the monies collected pursuant to Section
2 of this Resolution to the Los Angeles County Consolidated Fire
Protection District.
Section 4. The adoption of this Resolution in no way
imposes or implies the levy of a city property tax for general
municipal purposes, and is in fact a step which is consistent
with longstanding City Council policy of seeking to maximize
the services provided by the city without the imposition of a
city property tax as a method of paying for such services.
Section 5. The sole obligation of the City here-
under is to pay to the Los Angeles County Fire Protection
District an amount of money equal to the amount the District
would derive from the imposition of its tax on property within
the City. The adoption of this Resolution shall not be con-
strued to obligate the City to pay any greater amount whatso-
ever.
Section 6 . The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this Resolution and shall cause the same to be
published as required by law.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 5th day of
