RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing and agreeing to an exchange of property tax between the County of San Mateo and the City of Menlo Park for the proposed annexation of 2111-2121 Sand Hill Road (074-450-030, 074-450-040, 074-450-050) to the City of Menlo Park, pursuant to revenue and taxation code ?99.
body
BACKGROUND:
As a condition of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) approval of annexation of property from one jurisdiction to another, Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 requires participating jurisdictions to agree to the amount of property tax to be transferred as a result of the annexation.
DISCUSSION:
In response to an application to LAFCo for annexation of 2111-2121 Sand Hill Road to Menlo Park, the Controller has notified the County of the required 60 day property tax negotiation period. County staff recommends a tax exchange that approximates the county and city shares elsewhere in the city. Since the City of Menlo Park is not a member of the Library Joint Powers Authority, staff recommends transferring 100% of the tax share from the Library Fund to the City of Menlo Park. The recommended tax share transfers in tax rate area 061-016 are summarized in the following chart.
