A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF
SAN JOAQUIN AND THE CITIES OF STOCKTON, LODI,
AND TRACY TO TOLL STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS
FOR CLAIMS REGARDING PROPERTYTAX
ADMINISTRATION FEES
WHEREAS, a controversy exists regarding the County's calculation of the
property tax administration fees regarding the Triple Flip (Revenue & Taxation Code
§97.68) and the Vehicle License Fee swap (Revenue & Taxation Code $97.70).
California cities are universally contending that counties are overcharging for their
administration fee; and
WHEREAS, in order to avoid legal expenses, City and County staff propose that
the parties enter a tolling agreement (essentially extending the statute of limitations for
the cities to sue if an agreement cannot be reached) to allow existing litigation to
proceed and base any future negotiations regarding adjustments on the outcome of the
pending cases.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute agreement between the County of San Joaquin
and the cities of Stockton, Lodi, and Tracy to toll statutes of limitations for claims
regarding property tax administration fees.
