A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
RELATING TO A PROPERTY TAX TRANSFER
WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY,
THE ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY,
AND THE ORANGE COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT
RELATING TO THE REORGANIZATION OF "SOUTH OF MESA DRIVE" AREA AND
THE SANTA ANA COUNTRY CLUB
WHEREAS, residents and property owners within the "South of Mesa Drive" community
and the Santa Ana Country Club (SACC) have petitioned the Orange County Local Agency
Formation Commission (OC LAFCO) to reorganize these territories; and
WHEREAS, portions of these territories are within specific redevelopment project areas
administered by the Orange County Development Agency (OCDA) which direct most property
tax increment to the OCDA; and
WHEREAS, in July 2003, the City of Newport Beach annexed the eastern Santa Ana
Heights and Bay Knolls communities, and in January 2008, the City of Newport Beach annexed
West Santa Ana Heights; and
WHEREAS, in 1980, the City Council adopted a Master Property Tax Transfer
Agreement ( MPTTA) with the County of Orange that directs that, within certain small
annexations of less than 100 acres, 0.51937804992 of the County General Fund share of the
1% Basic Levy shall be transferred to the City and 0.48062195008 of County General Fund
share shall remain with the County upon annexation of territory by the City; and
WHEREAS, the geographic size of the residents' proposed reorganization is larger than
the size (100 acres) whereby the use of the MPTTA is automatic, but the City believes that the
split described in the MPTTA remains appropriate for these territories; and
WHEREAS, because the City of Newport Beach has its own library system and fire
department, the property tax share of the 1% Basic Levy to the Orange County Library System
and to the Structural Fire Fund or Orange County Fire Authority should be transferred to the City
in an amount equal to 100% of these agencies' respective shares; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that the City Council
hereby states that, upon the effective date of each specific annexation noted herein (South of
Mesa Drive and /or the Santa Ana Country Club), the property tax transfer between the City of
Newport Beach and the County of Orange General Fund will be as described below.
