AGENDA TITLE: Adoption of Resolution Establishing the Base Year Assessment for the Lodi
Community Improvement Project and Authorizing the Transmittal of a Map
and Boundary Description as Required by Law and Pay Required Filing
Fees to the State Board of Equalization
MEETING DATE: November 21.2007
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the Resolution of the Redevelopment Agency
establishing the Base Year and provide notification to
the State Board of Equalization, San Joaquin County,
and othertaxing entities.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On November 14, 2007, the Planning Commission, at
the request of the City Council/Redevelopment Agency,
designated boundaries of a proposed Redevelopment
Project Area and adopted a Preliminary Plan for the proposed area. The area equaled the
Survey Area previously adopted by the City Council. The Agency is now required to set the
Base Year for the allocation of future taxes, (Health and Safety Code Section 33670), and
transmit a map and a legal description of the proposed Project Area to San Joaquin County,
other affected taxing agencies, and to the State Board of Equalization.
These steps are the formal notification that the City has begun the process to considerforming a
Redevelopment Project Area. Although required by law, they do not commit the City to adopt a
Redevelopment Project.
If the base year is not set at this time, it will delay the time frame in which tax increment funds
accrue and are available to the City of Lodi.
FISCAL IMPACT: The filing fees required by the State Board of Equalization are usual and
customary. The formation of a Redevelopment Project allows the
City/Agency to collect a greater percentage of future property tax
assessments without raising taxes.
FUNDING: City Manager's budget.
