Wentworth 2000 Hain Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Corporate Number: 1537928 In a letter dated November 10, 1986, we determined that the City of Huntington Beach Civic Improvement Corporation was an agency of the city and therefore not subject to the California income or franchise taxes. "�wever, this department has now taken the position that this aanization and all similar organizations cannot be considered to be agencies or instrumentalities of government since arranging financing to construct facilities for public agencies through issuing •certificates of participation" is not normally a function of government. The department further holds that such organizations would not qualify for exemption from tax under Section 23701f or any other subsection of Section 23701 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Consequently, our original determination that your organization is a public .body is hereby revoked. Since the organization is already incorporated, it will be required to iile Form 100, Corporation Franchise Tax Return, within 2 months and 15 days after the close of each annual accounting period and pay at least the annual minimum franchise tax of $200.

Wentworth 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Application for Exemption from Ta* Corporate Number 1537928 We have reviewed the application for exemption from tax of the above-named organization under Section 23701f of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Bayed on the information presented in the exemption application, we have determined that the City of Huntington Beach Civic Improvement Corporation is an agency of the City of Huntington Beach and is operating for public purposes. There is no provision in the California Revenue and Taxation Code that authorizes the Franchise Tax Board to grant tax exemption to an operation supported and controlled by the courts or a political subdivision. In Housing Authority of Los Angeles County v. Dockweiler 14 C 2d, 437 ( 1939) , the court determined that public bodies are not required to pay either income or franchise taxes since such taxes do not apply to those agencies. Therefore, we are taking no further action on your exemption application other than to notify you of your organization 's status as explained above. Please contact this office if there are any questions. J tr1 L Peter T.

Any surplus received by the Corporation from such re-leasing shall be credited towards the Lease Payments next coming due and payable. Neither notice to pay rent or to deliver up possession of the premises given pursuant to law nor any proceeding in unlawful detainer taken by the Corporation shall of itself operate to terminate this Lease, and no termination of this Lease on account of default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of law, or -18- otherwise, unless and until the Corporation shall have given written notice to the City of the election on the part of the Corporation to terminate this Lease.
