on actions proposed. City Attorney's summary of actions necessary read in full indicating following three actions also necessary: 1. Ordinance establishing Independent Assessing Procedure. This ordinance implements the provisions of Section 1307 of General Improvement District Ordinance as amended in July 1966, as original proce- dure contemplated the levy and collection of taxes on the same assessment roll as used for general city taxes and this amendment provided for the optional authority for the Council to retain for any specific district the powers of (a) assessing property and equalizing such assessments for district tax purposes and/or, (b) collecting such taxes with related duties of enforcement and redemption. The ordinance proposed puts into effect this authority for GID No. 1-64 (and not the remaining districts) for the assessment and equalization aspects; the County to continue to perform the collection and redemption aspects of the assessing procedures. He also advised proposed ordinance to be effective prior to the first Monday in March, 1967, must be introduced at this meeting and adopted on the 30th. 2. Budget Amendment. City Attorney advised present budget for the 1966-67 fiscal year contains a relatively narrow appropriation specifically detailing such items as individual salaries, and with the decision to engage consulting appraisal services to carry out the assessing program put into effect by adoption of the proposed ordinance, it becomes necessary to amend the budget to broaden the purposes for which the budgeted funds may be expended. He also advised this proposed ordinance would take the entire amount previously budgeted ($34,012) and reappropriate it. The unexpended or unencumbered portion remain- ing at the end of the 1966-67 fiscal year will be available for reappropriation in the succeeding year as part of the construction fund. 3. City -County Agreement Amendment. City Attorney advised the current agree- ment between the City and County of San Mateo provides for the County to perform the four basic assessing functions of assessment, equalization, collection and redemption, which it performs for general City taxes as well as special district taxes such as the downtown parking district. The amend- ment proposed would provide that, with respect to GID No. 1-64, the City will perform the functions of assessment and equalizatton and that the County.would perform the functions of collection and redemption.
