APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FOR
COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES, FEES, CHARGES AND ASSESSMENTS
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller's Office administers tax collection
procedures for all local agencies within the County, including the Town of Danville; and
WHEREAS, as a result of Proposition 218, the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller's Office
has requested all local jurisdictions to sign an agreement which would 1) give the local agency's
approval for the County to act as the Collection agent, 2) warrant that the agency believes its
levies to be in compliance with local and State law in light of Proposition 218, and 3) hold the
County harmless and indemnify it against any legal challenge to the local agency's levies; and
WHEREAS, the County has notified all agencies that they will be issuing a slightly revised
agreement within the next few weeks which refines the language in paragraph 3 regarding
limiting the County's fee structure to cost recovery only; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement with
Contra Costa County for collection of special taxes, fees, charges and assessments; and be it
further
RESOLVED, that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to approve any subsequent
collection agreements with Contra Costa County which contain only minor revisions to the
agreement approved herein.
