R E S 0 L U T I 0 N
WHEREAS, there was presented at the 1 ast meeting of
this Board a letter from some citizens of the District,
suggesting that certain material economies might be effected
by eliminating the of fices of Assessor-Collector and. Treasurer
in the District and having their functions performed by the
County Assessor, Tax Coll.ector and. Treasurer; and since the
presentation of such letter the matter has been re-considered
it having been presented to the Board some months ago, and the
result of such re-consideration is in nart as follows:
The Board is advised by its attorney, after a conference
with the District Attorney, that the laav does not permit Irri-
gation Districts to have thoae functions performed by the
respective County Official8.
That f or numerous re a8ons, among which are those he re-
inafter etated, the Board is not convinced that the purported
economy which might be effected would be in fa,ct a.ny real
economy to the administration of the District and to the
people of the District as a whole, to-wit:
. In order to carry on the business of the Distriet it
would be necessary to have practically a, duplicate set of
books in the local office and to keep them up to date by almost daily comparisons with the books of the officials in
San Die go;
. It wDuld be necessary for the residents to transact
their district business in that respect in San Diego and. their
.expense in so doing, while not a charge a.gainst the District
itself, would aggregate more tha.n any saving which might be
.effected: There would be a loss to this community of the officers
a.nd employees whp..now take care of such work, that is to sa,y
San Diego would benefit by some payroll incxease and this com-
munity would accordingly lose:
Our assessed valuations are materially higher than
the County assessed valuations, and if vae a,dopted the
County valuations we would ha,ve to raise our assessments
' rriateri ally:
Oux own Assessor is better qualified to equitably
assees the ma,ny parcels of property in this District in
rela-tion to each other than a.re thP employees bf the
County Assessor's office;
\
~ THEREFORE,BE IT RES4LVED, that this Board cannot
take further action on such change fin proced.ure.
The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted by the following roll call vote, viz;
AYES: Directors Brezina, Bricker, Bucklew
Knipe and McChe sney,
