Summary of Request

The Board of Supervisors previously formed an ad hoc committee of supervisors Gjerde and Mulheren to work with the CEO and cities on the possibility of a master tax sharing agreement.  Staff and the ad hoc committee have been working on a tax sharing agreement with the assistance of outside counsel due to the unique and specialized nature of the issues involved. The attorney assisting the County has transitioned from Meyers Nave to Redwood Public Law, LLP, a California limited liability partnership, and it is preferred that that he continue as counsel in this matter.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not approve and provide direction to staff.
