Uncollected Taxes Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4986 Initiated b~,=: City Attorney Attached is a copy of P.esolutien [ ] Ordinance [ ] Agreement [ ] Plat [ ] ;3ackground: The Office of the County Counsel has requested the City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopt a resolution which would authorize routine cancellations of uncollected ad valorem taxes by county officers, pursuant to Section 4986 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The adoption of such a resolution will contribute to the economy of government and facilitate matters greatly. Section 4980 of the Revenue and Taxation Code permits the cancellation of uncollected ad valorem taxes under a variety of circumstances. It also provides that "No cancellation ...shall be made in respect of all or any portion of any tax, or penalties or costs attached thereto, collectible by county officers on behalf of a municipal corporation without the written consent of the city attorney or other officer designated by the City Council unless the City Council by resolution filed with the Board of Supervisors, has authorized the cancellation by County Officers. The Resolution shall remain effective until rescinded by the City Council." Section 4804 of the above code permits the Board of Supervisors of any county to authorize certain county officers to perform on its behalf any art to be performed by the Board concerning corrections, cancellations and refunds. The Board of Supervisors by Resolution 56, dated March 30, 1971, has adopted such a resolution. Most of the cancellations authorized are of a routine nature. Where judgment is required after a review of facts, it is normally the County Assessor, Tax Collector or Auditor having first hand knowledge of the facts who reviews the situation and makes the judgment.
