A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARSON PROVIDING REVENUE SHARING CREDIT FOR
COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT TAXES PAID BY CITY PROPERTY
OWNERS BY ELIMINATING EXISTING DISTRICT TAXES
AND ESTABLISHING A TAX IN PLACE THEREOF
WHEREAS, the State and Local Assistance Act of 1972 provides, Federal
"Revenue Sharing" funds to cities based on a formula that utilizes the total amount of
eligible taxes collected by a local government as one of the primary bases for allocation;
and
WHEREAS, under said formula, cities whose residents pay taxes to certain
special service districts do not receive "revenue sharing" credit for such taxes, and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature has adopted Assembly Bill 2008 (adding
Government Code Section 43073) which creates a mechanism through which cities can now
get revenue sharing credit for the property taxes paid to the Los Angeles County Consolidated
Fire Protection District; and the Los Angeles County Dominguez Fire Protection District; and
WHEREAS, by availing itself of the benefits authorized by Assembly Bill
2008, the City will substantially increase its revenue sharing receipts and thereby increase
the level of municipal services available without the necessity of any additional taxation.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Carson does resolve
as follows:
Section I. Pursuant to Government Code Section 43073, the City Council
of the City of Carson, a city encompassed entirely within the territory of the hereinafter
specified districts, hereby elects to pay to the Los Angeles County Consolidated Fire Pro-
tection District and the Los Angeles County Dominguez Fire Protection District, an amount
of money equal to the amount each such District would derive from the imposition of its
tax on all property within the district which is contained within the incorporated limits
of the city. Such payment shall be in lieu of the imposition of the Districts' taxes within
the boundaries of the city.
Section 2. Pursuant to Government Code, Section 43073, the City
Council of the City o Carson, in order to generate the funds necessary to make the payments
referred to in Section I of this Resolution, hereby establishes a city tax rate for fiscal year
1973-74 in an amount, equaI 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 1973-74 fiscal year, for that portion of the City within the aforesaid district and a
tax rate equal to the amount of the rate set by the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Los Angeles for the Los Angeles County Dominguez Fire Protection District for the 1973-74
fiscal year, for that portion of the City within the aforesaid district. The revenue from
such tax shall be utilized solely for the payments described in Section 1 hereof.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Carson hereby requests that
the County tax co e� ctor sfiall list the aforesaid Consolidated Fire Protection District and
the Dominguez 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 servicer in a city tax rate rather than have the Districts impose the tax. This
Resolution shall serve as direction and authorization to the County Auditor to transfer
the monies collected pursuant to Section 2 of this Resolution to the appropriate District
as set forth in Section I hereof.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that 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 long-standing 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.
