SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
CONCERNING PROPERTY-TAX REVENUES FROM THE BISHOP AND
MAINO OPEN SPACE ANNEXATION (LAFCO APPLICATION NO. 58,
CITY APPLICATION NO. 10-98).
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution accepting the negotiated exchange of property-tax revenues and annual
property-tax increments for the Open Space Annexation of Bishop Peak and the Maino Family
site.
DISCUSSION
In May 1998, the Council recommended this annexation to the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) and approved zoning that will take effect upon annexation (attached
vicinity map). California law requires the City and the County to agree on division of the
property taxes from the territory proposed for annexation, which otherwise would go to the
County (Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 99). After the City has annexed these open space
sites that it owns, no property taxes will be paid. Therefore, this action is a formality in meeting
the procedural requirements for annexation. City and County staff have negotiated draft
agreements for presentation to the City Council and to the Board of Supervisors. The Board is
scheduled to consider this item during the day on March 7. If the Board of Supervisors and the
City Council take the recommended actions, the LAFCo hearing for the subject annexation is
expected to be March 16 or April 20.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving the recommended agreement will allow the annexation to be completed, eliminating
the need for the City to pay taxes on these sites and saving about$5,000 per year.
ALTERNATIVES
The City and the County must agree on a revenue division before the annexation can be
completed. State law says that if the City and the County do not reach agreement within a 60-day
period (by May 7), the annexation process stops and would need to be re-initiated for the
annexation to occur. Council may direct staff to pursue a different revenue-division formula, or
may .continue action for other reasons. Not approving the agreement within the interval set by
State law would require re-filing the LAFCo applications and returning at a future meeting to
resolve the matter.
