A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES PROVIDING REVENUE SHARING CREDIT FOR COUNTY
FIRE PROTECTION TAXES PAID BY CITY PROPERTY OWNERS BY
ELIMINATING 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 herinafter 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 incorporated limits of the city. Such payment shall be in lieu of the imposi-
tion 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 1977-78 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 1977-78 fiscal year.
The revenue from such tax shall be utilized solely for the payment described in
Section 1 hereof.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
hereby requests that the County Tax Collector list the Los Angeles County Consol-
idated 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 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 16th day of August , 1977.
