***********
DISTRICT 2’&7 Chairman Wedaa announced that he and
Discussion re Annexation Chairman Edgar had called this special
Policy meeting of their respective Districts to
discuss annexation policies.The two
Districts are most directly affected by the AB 8 tax exchange issue because most
of the territory outside present Districts’boundaries would be annexable to
Districts 2 and 7.
Districts 2 and 7

Chairman Wedaa stated that in his capacity as Chairman of the Select Committee re
Negotiations for Tax Exchanges for New Annexations (AB 8)he could report to the
Boards that the Districts and the County of Orange,after mor~than a year of earnes
and intensive negotiations,have been unable to agree on a me~hod of~assuring that
the Districts receive revenue from newly annexing properties ~o pay ~he costs of
providing sewerage service.The AB 8 Committee has proposed that the Districts
receive the proportionate share of the basic ad valorem tax l~vy (in~rement only)
that they receive within their present boundaries (approximat~ly 3%)reduced by the
sante proportionate share of the loss suffered by all agencies that would be giving up
some revenue.The County’s position is that the Districts should waive any share of
taxes,implement a user fee and apply for Special District Augmentation Funds for
interim financing.As an alternative,the AB 8 Committee sug~ested ~ecently that the
County consider forming a new sanitation district encompassinc~the 24,000 acres that
would logically annex to the Districts.However,the County ~ubsequ~ntly rejected
the idea.
After comments by Chairman Edgar and AB 8 Committee members D,n Holt,Joint Chairman.,
Don Roth,Don Smith and James Sharp,Chairman of the Fiscal Pc~licy C~mmittee,the
Board entered into a lengthy discussion of the tax exchange is~sue.It was pointed J
out that although negotiations to date have been with the County,an~final decision
on a tax exchange policy would have to consider similar arrang~ements with all
affected agencies including the cities and the other special districts.Chairman
Wedaa also distributed draft copies of annexation criteria tha1t had been prepared by~
staff at the direction of the AB 8 Committee.The draft repre~sents ~revision of
current annexation policies and procedures,incorporating a pr1ovision for a tax
exchange agreement as a prerequisite for annexation of property to the District.
Following further discussion,it was the concensus that the pr~posed criteria should
be referred to the Directors for study and consideration at a future meeting.The
staff was instructed to send copies of the draft criteria to D~istricts 2 and 7
Directors that had been unable to attend the meeting.
