A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATE OFFICERS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES TO CANCEL CERTAIN TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS OF THE
CITY WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE CITY ATTORNEY OR OTHER
OFFICER OF THE CITY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4986 of the State of
California heretofore provided that no cancellation of any tax or penalties
or costs attached thereto, collectable by County officers on behalf of a
city, may be made on the ground that such tax was erroneously or illegally
levied or charged, without the written consent of the city attorney of the
city concerned. Said Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4986 has now been
amended to provide that the written consent of the city attorney need not
be obtained if the City Council, by resolution filed with the Board of
Supervisors, has authorized cancellation by the appropriate County officers.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that at the present time no
useful purpose is served by requiring the written consent of the City
Attorney for such cancellation in that the appropriate County officers have
the requisite expertise and the necessary knowledge of the facts with
respect to such assessments or charges to effectuate such cancellations.
SECTION 3. The appropriate officers of the County of Los Angeles
are hereby authorized to cancel any tax, and any penalties or costs
attached thereto, on the grounds specified in Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 4986(a) (2), without the written consent of the City Attorney or
other officer of the City of Downey. This authorization shall remain
effective until rescinded by the City Council and notice of such rescission
to the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to
certify and file a copy of this Resolution with the Board of Supervisors
of Los Angeles County.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of March, 1976.
