Districts 2 and 7 2/8/82 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. _______________________ Moved,seconded and duly carried: Kdlournment_______________________ That this meeting of the~Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No.2 be adjourned.The Chairman then declared the meeting so adjourned at 7:20 p.m.,February 8,1982. _______________________ Moved,seconded and duly,carried: That this meeting of the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No.7 be adjourned.The Chaijrman then declared the meeting so adjourned at 7:20 p.m.,February 8,1982.
