RESOLUTION,NO. 5148
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WEST COVINA 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 West Covina does resolve
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 West Covina. This authori-
zation shall remain effective until rescinded by the City Council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 Super-
visors of Los Angeles County.
Adopted and approved this 24th day of November 1975.
