TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager DATE: 21 May 1998 (Special Council meeting of 05- 27- 98) SUBJECT: Approve Joint Resolution of Agreement for Allocation of Property Tax from the Dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District Discussion: The City of Moorpark has submitted an application to the Ventura County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District. The responsibility for providing the vector control services of the former District would be divided between the City of Moorpark and the County of Ventura, each servicing their respective jurisdiction. State law requires that the City and County reach an agreement on how future property taxes from the District will be apportioned between the two governmental entities. The Council's Special Committee on the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District Dissolution has been meeting on this matter for a number of months. Based on negotiations with the County, its recommendation is that the City accept the agreed upon distribution in which the County would receive $47,500 from the property taxes that previously went to the District and that the City receives the balance of the funds. In all subsequent years, the County would receive all of the tax revenues that would result from assessments in the unincorporated areas and 20.89211 % of the revenue from the assessments within the City of Moorpark boundaries. The City would receive the remaining 70.10789°x6 of the tax revenues. The same percentage allocations would apply to unitary taxes and the tax increment pass - through that previously went to the District. Staff has evaluated the proposal and has determined that it will provide the City with sufficient revenues to maintain the vector control services levels currently provided within the City of Moorpark. Recommendation: (ROLL CALL VOTE) That the City Council adopt the Joint Resolution of Agreement regarding the allocation of property taxes from the dissolution of the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District.
