PROPERTY TAX Councilman Shenkman addressed Council and presented his comments.regarding the transmittal relative to property tax. He commented on possibly neither adjusting the tax rate nor rebating a token dollar amount, as it had no significant impact: He felt there might be better ways of utilizing the funds from the assessed valuation in capital improvement programs, facilities and services. " Councilman Shenkman discussed the need for a 5 year plan that would include cash flow and salary increases. He discussed possible tax.rate reduction and felt that good cash flow management would allow no more than a 3o tax rate reduction. Councilwoman Wieder presented her comments on property tax relief stating that there ,sere two opposite points of view. She commented on her approach to tax relief/tax reform, stating that in her opinion the tax rate should.be set prior to the adoption of the budget. She felt that a 10o tax rate reduction was a fair compromise. Discussion was held between Council members, regarding the tax reduction. Councilman Coen supported a reduction but not a rebate. He concurred with a most expedient method of reducing the tax rate by a 5 year plan in the future, with a $250,000 reserve being realistic. Also, he concurred with the necessity of imposing the tax collection fee. He was in favor of a compromise of 7C. tax reduction with 3"k going into a special contingency fund to cover the City in the event the City loses its appeal in the Real Estate -Transfer tax case. Councilman Bartlett briefly commented on his reason for favoring the tax rate reduction. Councilman Siebert commented on his objections to the system by which the City pays its employees. He stated that he favored a reasonable reduction in an amount.of' less than 100,% Councilman Shenkman stated that'he would favor a 5-60 tax rate reduction, with 44, to be.placed in a fund for possible Real Estate Transfer tax refund, thereby building the reductions into the system. 210-1A Page #2 - Council Minutes - ui -L ji i, Councilman Siebert suggested starting on the 1978-79 budget in October, 1977.

He informed the Council of his opinion as to what that area held for the future. Assemblyman Mangers discussed the 900+ acre purchase of the property by the State. He stated that the State Lands Commission plans to enter into negotiations with the Signal Landmark Company following a Signal Landmark appraisal which will take approximately eight -months to complete. He stressed the importance of the cooperation between the Governor, State and Board of Supervisors to consider the regional significance of linking the Bolse Chica to Huntington Central Park. Assemblyman Mangers reported on the impact of total annexation at this time, stating that with price escalations, it would be a risk. He suggested a possible compromise with the City taking action to annex the bluff properties not under consideration for purchase by the State, county or others, thus leaving the lowlands. The Assemblyman stated that he had no personal choice on the lead agency, but preferred the County rather than the City, if possible. In conclusion, Assemblyman Mangers stated that he preferred that all seven Council members be present when action is taken; that the City move as quickly as possible; that the City Staff cooperate with the Environmental Management Agency and Coastal Commission; and finally that it was his hope that there would be a regional park in the future through the efforts of the City, County, and State. General discussion was held on the various involvements such as the Signal properties, oil revenue and limited use on'bluff area. Wayne Clark, Administrative Aide to Supervisor Schmit, spoke briefly on the County's views. He stated that annexation of Bolsa Chica probably would not' affect the County's viewing the property as a potential regional park site. Discussion was held by Council regarding their views on the annexation. 2i S Page #7 - Council Minutes - 8/15/77 INCREASED FUNDING ALLOCATION - REDEVELOPMENT LEGAL SERVICES - APPROVED The Clerk presented a communication from the Redevelopment.Director regarding increased funding allocation for redevelopment legal services in connection with the Warner/.
